Re: The New Netbooks
Hi Stephen! Maybe we could keep the keys the same size if we did some things: Maybe we wouldn't need the keypad. I don't know about the six-pack, and maybe get rid of the function keys. Of course, we would need the arrow keys, so other keys would have to substitute for the keys that would no longer be needed. I heard someone say that netbook computers don't have the horsepower as desktop models. I guess that's why I posed the question to see what others think. I don't think these computers have a CD rom drive, so one would wonder what would someone do if they had a program on a CD or DVD? - Original Message - From: Stephen Guerra step...@independentliving.com To: 'PC Audio Discussion List' pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Monday, February 23, 2009 11:43 AM Subject: RE: The New Netbooks I am using the MSI Wind, and it is a 88% keyboard to a full size keyboard.

Re: The New Netbooks
all the issues you bring up can be addressed quite nicely. you can buy plug and play sound cards for audio work. you can get USB cd burners that run off the buss and you can buy USB keyboards if you like. instead of a 72 RPM hard drive they usually have a 54 rpm speed. now it is up to me to choose which one I want. the Acer's are the cheapest I think. - Original Message - From: Gary Wood k8...@comcast.net To: PC Audio Discussion List pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Tuesday, February 24, 2009 2:24 AM Subject: Re: The New Netbooks Hi Stephen!

Re: The New Netbooks
Just to add to this a bit, the Asus EEE pcs also use the RealTek sound. My particular model the 904ha can also go up to 7 hrs plus with screen brightness turned all the way down. It has a 6 cell battery and the Asus Hy bread engine also offers a super turbo mode that will over-clock the Atom. What I particularly like about this model are the keyboard and sound. The keyboard is almost as nice as the HP keyboard, and the speakers, although on the bottom part of the front edge, sound very good considering the size and they don't get totally covered up when you place the device on your lap. RA David Tanner wrote: Let me make a few comments here. I have used the MSI, HP MiniNote, the Samsung NC10, and the Dell Mini 9. First let me say that I was totally disappointed by the Dell Mini 9. The keyboard is too small, keys are crammed together, and a number of important keys are missing or have been moved. The keyboard has not functionkey roe, and only has the ability to get functionkeys F1 thru F10. Finally, the Dell has the same processor as the other units, but ran much slower and boots much slower. The Samsung has a very nice keyboard, and is quite easy to type on at a rather fast pace. The speaker sounds good considering the size of the unit, and works well even with software such as Kurzweil1000 and Openbook with a Canon Lide 200 flatbed scanner. About the only complaint I could find was that the button to turn the unit on and off was on the side of the unit where a person could easily accidently press the button and turn the unit on or off without intending to do so. The most fantastic thing about the Samsung is that with the great battery management software in the unit it gets around 7 hours of use on a charge. That is a fantastic time for any laptop, and I have heard of no other netbook that can even come close to running as long on a charge. The HP MiniNote I used was very nice, and had fantastic sound for its' size. The HP MiniNotes have very nice keyboards and are easy to type on. But, battery life per charge seemed to stay just over 4 hours per charge. I baught a MSI Wind in December and absolutely love it. I think the only minus is that the speakers are under the unit and do not sound as good as some of the other units because of their placement under the unit. The keyboard is very good, easy to type on, and has nice size keys. I am getting just over 5 hours of use on a charge of the battery (6 cell). The MSI has a new firmware bios that allows the unit to be run in turbo mode that takes the speed of the processor to 2.0 GHZ instead of the 1.6 standard. But, because of the use of stepping you should not have to worry about overheating the processor because the processor will only run at the faster speed when processing demands call for the necessity of more speed for heavy processing. This difference makes the MSI able to perform more quickly and crispy on a lot of applications than the other units here that do not have any turbo mode. I have used Jaws 10, Window-Eyes 7, the latest NVDA, and the latest System Access on these units and had no problems using any of these packages on any of the units with the exception of keyboard issues on the Dell Mini 9.

Re: The New Netbooks
One thing I noted on the 4 netbooks that I have worked with is that most of them do not have a MP3 encoder. So, if you plan to use Goldwave or another editor that does not include a MP3 encoder you will need to download and install one. I installed the latest Lame and all is well since doing that.

You can find it at www.blindcooltech.com. Just do a search for Asus on the main page and you should find it. Although the podcast wasn't put together all that well, you can see the netbook in action, using GoldWave for recording and processing audio, along with a bunch of other stuff that will give you a good idea of what to expect in terms of performance from a netbook or at least this particular model.

RE: The New Netbooks
Yes, but from those who have tried this unit, the concensus is just those who are probably not using any screen reading or magnification technology so to me its not valid points.

Re: The New Netbooks
I have an asus eee pc and like it more than the nc10. From what I've seen of the nc10, that's just boasting. My 900 ha has maybe a 90 percent full keyboard, probably less. The soundcard on this thing rocks - for most things, anyway. It converts files in gold wave with no lag at all. Its better than most laptops in that it has xp. (keep in mind I'm keeping this as audio related as I can, sorry if I stray off topic just a tad). I average 4.5 hours on battery with a 4 cell battery. None of the other netbooks can do that - because asus's super hybrid engine. Again, love it. Will never buy another brand of netbook again - or laptop, for that matter. contact details: email: tcwoo...@shaw.ca and others msn: the_conman...@hotmail.com skype: the_conman283 system details: Hp pavillion dv5220CA notebook pc AMD Turion(tm) 64 Mobile Technology ML-37 2.0 GHZ, 1024 mb DDR ram, Fujitsu 100 gb 4500 RPM Hard Drive, connecsant AC-link audio - Original Message - From: Nick G n...@hkcradio.com To: PC Audio Discussion List pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Monday, February 23, 2009 1:38 PM Subject: Re: The New Netbooks The Samsung NC10, which is the consensus choice if you read reviews all over the place, has a 96% keyboard. - Original Message - From: Stephen Guerra step...@independentliving.com To: 'PC Audio Discussion List' pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Monday, February 23, 2009 11:43 AM Subject: RE: The New Netbooks I am using the MSI Wind, and it is a 88% keyboard to a full size keyboard.

As someone who spends a large part of his life doing audio work, often out on the road, these are important questions for me. Ray. Knowing Nick G wrote: It depends on the Netbook. For instance, I know that the Samsung uses a Realtech HD Audio card, which is not bad, especially considering it has, believe it or not, a stereo mic preamp. - Original Message - From: Sunshine sunsh...@abe.midco.net To: PC Audio Discussion List pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Monday, February 23, 2009 3:16 PM Subject: Re: The New Netbooks tom, can i ask a question concerning the netbook issue what kind of sound card can be used in them? this is related to audio cause i plan to use one and need a good sound card. - Original Message - From: Tom t...@pc-audio.org To: pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Monday, February 23, 2009 1:40 PM Subject: Re: The New Netbooks Jonathan Mosen List Founder Audio List Help, Guidelines, Archives and more... http://www.pc-audio.org To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: pc-audio-unsubscr...@pc-audio.org Jonathan Mosen List Founder Audio List Help, Guidelines, Archives and more... http://www.pc-audio.org To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: pc-audio-unsubscr...@pc-audio.org
Re: The New Netbooks
Let me make a few comments here. I have used the MSI, HP MiniNote, the Samsung NC10, and the Dell Mini 9. First let me say that I was totally disappointed by the Dell Mini 9. The keyboard is too small, keys are crammed together, and a number of important keys are missing or have been moved. The keyboard has not functionkey roe, and only has the ability to get functionkeys F1 thru F10. Finally, the Dell has the same processor as the other units, but ran much slower and boots much slower. The Samsung has a very nice keyboard, and is quite easy to type on at a rather fast pace. The speaker sounds good considering the size of the unit, and works well even with software such as Kurzweil1000 and Openbook with a Canon Lide 200 flatbed scanner. About the only complaint I could find was that the button to turn the unit on and off was on the side of the unit where a person could easily accidently press the button and turn the unit on or off without intending to do so. The most fantastic thing about the Samsung is that with the great battery management software in the unit it gets around 7 hours of use on a charge. That is a fantastic time for any laptop, and I have heard of no other netbook that can even come close to running as long on a charge. The HP MiniNote I used was very nice, and had fantastic sound for its' size. The HP MiniNotes have very nice keyboards and are easy to type on. But, battery life per charge seemed to stay just over 4 hours per charge. I baught a MSI Wind in December and absolutely love it. I think the only minus is that the speakers are under the unit and do not sound as good as some of the other units because of their placement under the unit. The keyboard is very good, easy to type on, and has nice size keys. I am getting just over 5 hours of use on a charge of the battery (6 cell). The MSI has a new firmware bios that allows the unit to be run in turbo mode that takes the speed of the processor to 2.0 GHZ instead of the 1.6 standard. But, because of the use of stepping you should not have to worry about overheating the processor because the processor will only run at the faster speed when processing demands call for the necessity of more speed for heavy processing. This difference makes the MSI able to perform more quickly and crispy on a lot of applications than the other units here that do not have any turbo mode. I have used Jaws 10, Window-Eyes 7, the latest NVDA, and the latest System Access on these units and had no problems using any of these packages on any of the units with the exception of keyboard issues on the Dell Mini 9.

Re: The New Netbooks
Hi The asus eee pc line has some good netbooks too. In particular, the 900 ha, with wireless on, skype and windows live open and doing things, and using speedswitch xp and eee super hybrid engine, I get about 4.5 hours on a charge. with skype shut down, wireless off, I average 5.5-6 hours. This is with a 4 cell battery and it can varry greatly. The acer line of netbooks is worse off in battery, the 3 cell getting at most 2 hours - and that's pushing it. The keyboard on this thing is pretty nice too - it takes some getting used to but honestly, its worth it. contact details: email: tcwoo...@shaw.ca and others msn: the_conman...@hotmail.com skype: the_conman283 system details: Hp pavillion dv5220CA notebook pc AMD Turion(tm) 64 Mobile Technology ML-37 2.0 GHZ, 1024 mb DDR ram, Fujitsu 100 gb 4500 RPM Hard Drive, connecsant AC-link audio - Original Message - From: David Tanner david-tan...@peoplepc.com To: PC Audio Discussion List pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Monday, February 23, 2009 9:02 PM Subject: Re: The New Netbooks Let me make a few comments here.

Re: The New Netbooks
Hi Steve, I have been using a NC10 from Samsung for about a week. Our Samsung has given us a 30 day evaluation unit to use. Actually, it has a very nice keyboard, and it is just a slight bit bigger than the MSI Wind keyboard. I know several people who have baught or are going to be buying the Samsung, and two things that those people usually emntion is the nice keyboard and over 7 hours of use on a charge of the battery. I really like my MSI Wind, and it has some great features, including a turbo mode that takes the speed to 2.0 GHZ. But, the best I have been able to get with the MSI on battery life is a little over 5 hours. That isn't bad, but 7 hours is fantastic.

Re: The New Netbooks
I'd be interested to know how any of these netbooks work with Sound Forge or Sonar. I wouldn't expect much but would be nice if one could do live recording and some audio editing. Maybe the Samsung with it's turbo mode could even handle some soft synthesizer plugins.
