What you need to know about cloud backup

So how does the Booklet 3G perform? Well, like all netbooks it has fairly limited resources. The Atom Z530 CPU runs at 1.6GHz and has just 1GB of DDR2 memory, with an Intel GMA 500 graphics chip. During testing, we found the pre-installed Windows 7 Starter edition to be a little sluggish, especially when attempting to multi-task. It’s also worth noting that Windows 7 Starter lacks luxuries such as Windows Media Center and Microsoft’s fancy Aero interface.

In PCMark05, its CPU score of 1425 is a lower than the majority of N270- and N280-powered netbooks, but only by a little. The HDD score of 3008, however, was way behind the pack – closer inspection reveals this is due to the 120GB drive having a relatively slow speed of 4,200rpm compared to the netbook-norm of 5,400rpm.

Cloud based data management

meh

too expensive for a non apple product... again and again, i am glad i didnt bother with a netbook and went straight for a 13" macbook pro, ok it was 400 quid more than this, but i get a real computer and a 5 hour battery.

for all those who say macs are too expensive for what they are... go and get one, you will change your mind a week.

Although IMHO £400 to be free of that shite that M$ peddle makes it worth it alone.

No lan port?

Ok so it's expensive as hell, and yet they leave out the LAN port? Seriously, the LAN port is kinda important if your wifi isn't working, or if you're in an environment that just doesn't have wifi (they do exist you know). Jeez, designed by a moron.

Fn key placement

is correct for us Thinkpad users - but my 12" X61 runs 2.5Ghz, has 8GB RAM, SSD and 3G card and was only a few quid more than this.
