As we have large: a report on screen sizes of netbooks and tablet between 5 and 12 inches

admin — Wed, 30 Mar 2011 16:11:31 +0000

Rocco would say that size does matter, but a popular saying, he also says that one must know how to use. What? The screen and tablet netbook course. And because that’s what it comes in a report that analyzes the distribution of computers between 5 and 12 inches.

I’m talking about computers now because the distinction between netbook and tablet and the “old” PC is increasingly blurred and term has become very wide-ranging. The report, published in Germany, analyzes the market since the last IFA 2010, the bearer of many innovations in the field.

The effect of these changes can be recorded an increase of 10-inch models, an increase driven by hardware equipment. Over 20 models of 10-inch netbook, in fact, had the exclusive right to install the Intel Atom N550, the first Atom’s most advanced and able to bring more netbooks notebook experience. Add to this the arrival of NVIDIA ION is easy to see that the jump in the graph at the beginning of August 2010 and February 2011.

The market for tech gadgets is deeply sensitive and depends on the great waves of trends, as we have noted in the case of the tablet. Since the launch of Apple iPad on the market, it is a front of tablet ready to invade the area of technology features hardware and operating systems of all kinds. An editorial of Engadget, written by Joanna Stern gives us an overview situation that is going to arise: the rise of laptop and netbooks.Laptop is a term coined by the author, with whom he identifies:

An ultra portable laptop and cheap, typically display 11.6-inch or 12 inches, which is not a netbook. It ensures more power than a netbook (it can support 1080p video and Flash in full screen) and offers a user experience more comfortable than the typical 10-inch laptop, less powerful and based on Atom processor. many have no optical drive, but they work for five hours. Unlike the ultra-portable laptop, the laptop are cheaper and are priced from $ 400.

The address of the economic price we probably would have to say: iPad Galaxy Tab and Samsung have not been launched at prices so affordable. The Stern in any case gives the example of Dell Inspiron 11.6-inch M101z six months ago, a terminal with AMD and Neo with the appearance of a netbook enlarged. Dell, however, is careful to emphasize that this is not a netnook, because for $ 449 offered more power than a fee with an Intel Atom. This Dell has moved in category “laptop,” which eventually went to visibly plump terminals with NVIDIA Ion for example.
