14 DAY TRIAL // Over the past few months, quite a number of Pine Trail-based netbooks have seen the light of day, especially ones based on the more advanced, DDR3-supporting Intel Atom processors. HANNspree decided it would once again tackle this market segment, only it resolved to stick to something more traditional in terms of specifications. As such, it came up with the SN10 netbook, which is set and ready to reach UK customers, complete complete with a bag meant to make it easier for users to carry the product around.
The SN10 has, at its heart, an Intel Atom central processing unit with a clock speed of 1.66GHz. Not the highest speed of them all, but no lower than that of many other entry-level mobile PC. This chip is backed up by 1GB of RAM and the GMA (Graphics media Accelerator) 3150 integrated graphics. This video solution will have full control over the 10-inch display, whose native resolution is of 1024 x 600 pixels. Basically, SN10 should be able to handle all basic computing and browsing tasks while on the go.
Needless to say, HANNspree was careful to implement the full range of connectivity and I/O options that consumers expect to find in such a laptop. A multi-in-1 card reader will read whatever memory cards one may have, whereas the 10/100 LAN port will let users connect to wired networks. The machine also boasts 802.11 b/g/n WiFi, for easy wireless connectivity at any time and anywhere. Finally, the entire configuration runs on the power provided by a 6-cell battery, which can keep the device operational for up to 6 hours.
The SN10 weighs 1.2 kilograms and is pre-loaded with the Microsoft Windows 7 Starter Operating System. It has already reached UK stores, prices at £229 and bundled with its very own 'chic' black carry bag.
