Reviews for the Hannspree Hannsnote
Source: IT Reviews
If the name Hannspree rings a bell, chances are you've seen it adorning either an LCD TV or a monitor, but with the HANNSnote SN10E1 the company has taken quite a plunge and entered the highly competitive - make that cut-throat - netbook market. Unfortunately for Hannspree it has launched the HANNSnote SN10E1 at the same time as the market leaders are launching the second generation of 10-inch netbooks, so it was always going to be tough to stand out from the crowd, and sadly the HANNSnote SN10E1 doesn't. Having said that, the price is good, until you realise that by stretching your budget by fifty pounds or so you can get something like Asus's EeePC 1000HE with its much longer battery life and better keyboard.

The Hannspree HannsNote SN10E1 is a me-too netbook with Intel Atom processor, 10in screen and Intel GMA 950 graphics. Oh, and a great price. There’s little on the HannsNote to recommend it over the classic MSI Wind U100 – until you check the price. While the Wind typicall sells for between £300 and £330, we’ve seen the Hannspree HannsNote SN10E1 available for £260. Considering the good core design and specification of the Wind/HannsSpree chassis, it gets our vote as the best value netbook.

Until netbooks based on nVidia's ION or AMD's platform (like Packard Bell's Dot m) arrive in retail, these miniature underpowered laptops are a bit like generic cookies: they might be cut into different shapes and have various toppings, but they're all made from the same dough. Superfluous analogies aside, today we're taking a look at Hannspree's HANNSnote, which - like the Advent 4211 and LG X110 before it - is essentially a restyled MSI Wind, including the same old specifications. Join us as we find out if this is the best Wind rebadge yet. If you can get past its faults, Hannspree's HANNSnote is excellent value for a netbook with a six-cell battery. However, depending on your needs it's definitely worth checking out the competition before buying.

Hannspree is a name better known in the world of monitors than notebook computers. In the past it has come up with some rather strange designs for its screens, too, including ones in the shape of elephants and footballs (designed for children’s bedrooms, naturally) and a memorable model that came with wood veneer panelling. The Hannspree Hannsnote SN10e1 doesn’t stand out much but offers decent value.

The US TV giant sticks its finger into the netbook pie. While the Hannspree Hannsnote is an effective and highly usable netbook, it fails to stand out from the vast competition in any clear way. On its own merits it is an impressive portable, but the noisy fan and mildly flawed usability may cause you to look elsewhere.

Comment
Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) 950: Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950 is an integrated (onboard) graphic chip on Mobile Intel 945GM chipset. It is a faster clocked version of the GMA 900 and supports no hardware T&L (Transform & Lightning) accelleration (which is required for some games).
Only older games can be played fluently with these graphics chips (if they were not too demanding). Shared memory graphic cores in this category got the advantage of less heat production and longer battery runtimes. For office, internet, image processing, and video editing tasks these graphics chips are still useable without any restrictions.

Intel Atom: The Intel Atom series is a 64-Bit (not every model supports 64bit) microprocessor for cheap and small notebooks (so called netbooks), MIDs, or UMPCs. The speciality of the new architecture is the "in order" execution (instead of the usual and faster "out of order" execution). Therefore, the transistor count of the Atom series is much lower and, thus, cheaper to produce. Furthermore, the power consumption is very low. The performance per Megahertz is therfore worse than the old Pentium 3M (1,2 GHz on par with a 1.6 GHz Atom).
N270:

10.0": The netbook/subnotebook has a quite small display format. Nonetheless, it is a common format for netbooks. The advantage is, that the subnotebook/netbook can be small dimensioned and can be carried easily. Further the small display has the advantage, that it needs few energy, which improves the battery runtime and in consequence the mobility. The disadvantage is that the reading of texts is a bit exhausting for the eyes. It is difficult to use high resolutions.

1.4 kg: This subnotebook is one of the most lightweight of all notebooks and can be carried very easily. There exist only few sub-notebooks, which weight less. 10 inch displays are normal for this class of weight.
76.25%: This rating is not convincing. It must be considered, that there exist hardly any laptops, which receive a rating below 60%. This notebook is evaluated below average, this is not really a recommendation for purchase.
