Netbook LCD Quality

We ran our standard LCD quality tests using ColorEyes Display Pro to see how well this LCD panel performs. As mentioned in the introduction, the contrast ratio was noticeably worse than the ASUS 1005HA. Gigabyte still uses LED backlighting, but the display always looks a little washed out.

The default maximum brightness of the M1022 is good, measuring 210 nits. The ASUS 1005HA isn’t nearly as bright by default, but if you use the free EeeCTL utility you can reach 250 nits while still maintaining the >1000:1 contrast ratio. Color gamut is also very weak on the M1022 panel, and the only area where it comes out better than the other netbooks is in color accuracy. The slight advantage it holds in average Delta E needs to be put into context, however: all of these netbooks and laptops have certain colors that they don’t produce very well at all — notice the spikes above 4.0. The spikes are a common trait of TN panels, which is pretty much the only thing we see in current netbooks, laptops, and notebooks.

Lenovo ThinkPad Edge Review

In our Lenovo ThinkPad Edge review we felt that the new ThinkPad style was too conservative to truly be edgy, but too dressed-up to feel like a real ThinkPad. Introduction After over a decade of filling the same matte black boxes with fresh hardware, Lenovo has finally bowed to the design gods and attempted to put a little bit of an [...]

ASUS UL50Vt Preview: Factory Overclocked CULV Delivers 7 Hours of Battery Life

Wow, what’s with all the CULV hate? I’ve never seen a quietly introduced, low volume, mobile Intel CPU get so much negative press before. CULV stands for Consumer Ultra Low Voltage. It’s a badge affixed to certain mobile Core 2 Duos that run at lower clocks and lower voltages than standard mobile Core 2 Duos. Just as some CPUs can [...]

Update : Nokia Booklet 3G Specifications

For as popular as Nokia has been worldwide, it is just not a brand that Americans particularly care about. Even though it has consistently been the most prolific shipper of mobile devices worldwide, Nokia has only an 8% market share in the United States according to IDC, and even that is slipping. So when Nokia unveiled its first netbook -- [...]

Acer Aspire One 751h Review

Introduction Finding ways to differentiate your product in the notebook market can be difficult. Most companies are currently going with the Intel Atom N270/N280 CPU combined with the 945GSE chipset. The result is that performance is nearly identical between similarly equipped netbooks, although as we saw with the ASUS 1005HA and the GIGABYTE [...]
