8 best netbooks

Hewlett-Packard is quite conservative in terms of the color gamut of the housings of its products, therefore its laptops, which have a jolly color, can be counted on fingers. Under the conditions of the current crisis, even one hand is enough for these purposes. For business use, the extravagance of design will be irrelevant, but for adolescent girls, she will certainly like it. By the way, if the Stream 11 netbook can be compared to the DELL Inspiron 3162 model discussed above with respect to the rich bright blue, then there are no rivals for the violet version of the device in the corresponding segment. In addition, these devices differ in surface texture - in the case of HP it is a practical matte. As for the stuffing and computing power of Stream 11, they are quite expected and focused primarily on working with text, surfing, social networking and multimedia applications.

This compact notebook model is interesting in two things. First, a variety of complete sets for every taste and budget. Secondly, the possibility of a relatively simple increase in the amount of RAM. To perform this operation, it is enough to remove the bottom cover and replace the corresponding bar (support for up to 8 GB is declared). Note that the vast majority of competitors memory chips soldered on the motherboard and such an upgrade is not possible in principle. The capacity of non-volatile storage cannot be increased in this way, but we have “first” and several configuration options. We recommend the older one with a built-in 128 GB drive. Of the other amenities of a separate mention deserves a webcam, whose resolution is relatively suitable for video. There are also disadvantages - the quality of the display and the absence of any status indicators.

The price tag of the Apple MacBook Mid 2017 clearly does not match the criteria for netbooks, but we found it possible to include the most compact offer of Cupertines in the review of the best netbooks. Given the general trend of reducing the popularity of inefficient solutions, as well as the tremendous autonomy of the recommended model, this will be fully justified. Agree, it is important to choose the worst option if the alternative has already gone beyond the technical framework of the conditional standard - at least a strange position. It remains to wait until it (alternative) becomes available at a cost. As for the Apple subnotebook, it deserves the kindest words.

Chic Retina-display with the correct color and very decent maximum brightness, support for solid-state drives with interface NVMe, powerful enough, but energy-efficient processor, capacious battery, thin and light body - these are its most remarkable features.

As you know, netbooks and large-format tablets are direct competitors for "a place in the sun." Moreover, the first and second have both their advantages and characteristic disadvantages. We do not consider the two-in-one design to be particularly successful, but as a kind of compromise solution, it can be claimed. Moreover, if you choose between the recommended transformer and the previously inexpensive compact laptop of the same company (CITI E210), then our sympathies are entirely on the side of the E222 netbook. The display is much better, the battery is more powerful, the RAM is larger, and the price difference is not so significant. The only thing that the hardware platform Intel Atom and 32GB storage with the appetites of Windows 10 combine badly, so you should immediately ban any system updates or replace it with a light version.
