Reviews for the Maxdata Belinea s.book 1

Just another Eee contender or something more?
Source: Pocket Lint English
The Belinea s.book 1 won’t suit everyone, but its intended market will appreciate the light weight and overall build quality of the machine. If you need to have a Windows-based machine with you on a regular basis, this is a great option to go for.

80% Maxdata Belinea s.book 1 sub-notebook

Like Asus' Eee PC, Maxdata's Belinea s.book 1 is a true UMPC, not one of those ghastly tablet things. It delivers the performance you need for productivity apps and browsing, in a small, easy-to-carry unit that's way cheaper than most small, 'executive' notebooks yet is packed with connectivity options. Like the Eee, the s.book's short battery limits its mobility, and its constantly whirring fan will annoy some users, but it wins with its big storage capacity, good looks and, frankly, sheer bloody portability. But, at £200 cheaper, Eee remains the better buy.

Comment

VIA S3G UniChrome Pro: The S3 UniChrome (Pro) is a DirectX 7 (without T&L) onboard graphic solution (shared memory) from VIA for laptops. Mainly, it is intended for office activities and hardly suited for 3D games.

These graphics cards for notebooks are not suitable for games. If they run, they may run with graphical errors and very low frame rates. For gamers these chips are not suitable! Office and internet tasks are, to the contrary, no problem for these GPUs.


>> Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.

VIA C7-M: Current saving processors, however not as fast as a equivalent Pentium/AMD processor

C7-M-1200:
>> Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.

7.0":
>> To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.

1.1 kg: This subnotebook is one of the most lightweight of all notebooks and can be carried very easily. There exist hardly any models in this extreme class of weight. 7-9 inch displays are normal for this class of weight.

75%: This rating is bad. Most notebooks are better rated. This is not a recommendation for purchase.
