Reviews for the Asus Padfone X mini

ASUS Padfone X Mini Hybrid Smartphone / Tablet
Source: Hot Hardware Archive.org version
The Padfone X Mini isn't a device we'd recommend for everyone. The overall idea has some definite merit and it has features that will appeal to a specific audience. If you're just in the market for an inexpensive pre-paid phone, there are higher-performing standalone options out there and you can still get a nice tablet for a relatively small outlay.

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).
