Reviews for the Acer Emachines EM250-1162

Archive.org versionThe eMachines EM250 sells for Rs. 15,000. That's a good price -- actually the most ideal price-point for a netbook in our opinion. But this low price is achieved by sacrificing the cost of a licensed copy of Windows. So, you'll either have to shell out more if you want Windows or use a freely available Linux OS on it. The EM250 is a decent netbook overall, except for the fact that you'll have to get used to the smaller keyboard. If you're going to do a lot of typing, then we'd rather recommend an HP mini 110 for around Rs. 3000 more.

Archive.org versionFor Rs. 15,600, this netbook is surely very reasonable, no doubt about that. The CPU heavy tasks like encoding and watching HD video are not the hottest, but doesn't lag that far behind. The file system operations are swifter. Keyboard tactile feel is superb, but again the size could be a deterrent for some. Overall it’s a good looking piece too, which will do for those looking for a really cheap mini laptop that can hold its own.

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).
These graphics cards are not suited for Windows 3D games. Office and Internet surfing however is possible.

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:
Power efficient, cheap and slow Netbook single core CPU. Because of the in-order execution, the performance per MHz is worse than Core Solo or Celeron M processors.
