80% This slate-style tablet is a great success
Source: vnunet.com
Motion Computing’s LS800 is the only slate tablet in this round-up, meaning it doesn’t have a built-in keyboard. Instead, it’s intended to be used solely with the stylus. You can also control the LS800 with the two microphones that work as a dual array and offer both acoustic echo cancellation and noise suppression to reduce background sounds.

Comment

Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) 900: Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 900 is an integrated (onboard) graphic chip with shared memory on Mobile Intel 915GM chipset. It is the predecessor of Graphics Media Accelerator 950. The performance can be compared with the Mobile Radeon 9000 (with a 64 bit memory bus).

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 Pentium M: With Intel chip set (855 or 915) and Intel WLAN also available with the name Centrino (name for the package).
In the comparison very fast per megahertz and very modest with weaknesses in floating point operations.
It is also available as a low voltage version with very small current consumption.

8.4": The notebook has a very small and rare Display format for Subnotebooks. There hardly exist any smaller displays and this format is rare.
The advantage is, that the subnotebook can be small dimensioned and can be carried easily. Further the tiny display has the advantage, that it needs few current, which improves the battery runtime and in consequence the mobility. The disadvantage is that the reading of texts is very exhausting vor the eyes. High resolutions can hardly be used.

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.

80.67%: This rating is to be considered as average, because the amount of notebooks with better ratings is about equal like the amount with worse ratings.
