Review of Dell Inspiron Duo Netbook

Once opened, you can rotate the screen netbooks in their homes. Then, when it is closed again, with the screen up, users get a tablet of 10-inch touch screen.

This analysis will explore whether this new functionality is well integrated, and if this is not a handicap.

The Inspiron Duo features a dual core Atom processor N550, as seen in many small netbooks. In addition, there are 2 GB of memory and a 320GB hard drive. This allows you to work comfortably at best and leaves a little slow at worst. While the additional software necessary to allow the laptop to be used as a tablet results a slight performance degradation compared to netbooks with the same processor, but without the extra.

The screen itself is 10.1 cm in diameter with a resolution of 1366×768. This allows you to display high definition images. Although the screen is very bright and shiny, and it did not wow is right in the acceptable category. It is a shame especially when you consider that the main feature is the sale Duos screen itself.

The laptop has a camera of 1.3 mega pixel which is housed in the control cats video. It would be unfortunate, however, that when the computer is in tablet mode, the camera is hidden inside the box.

Once in tablet mode, the screen can be used as a touch screen. In this model, is a capacitive touch screen responsiveness is common sense. The glossy screen will result in fingerprints However, this can become tedious when the camera is back in fashion netbook. Windows 7 is difficult to use with a touchscreen, because it is not really designed for this purpose. Accordingly, Dell has included a second layer of software called Stage, which offers a great, easy to use icons that control music, videos, photos, books, internet and games. Unfortunately, the software runs very slow phase, and many believe manage without using it.

In short, the Dell Inspiron Duo offers a first glimpse of a possible future for the tablets. It is fair to say that this form factor, with a sort of permanent or retractable keyboard hidden, you can get and be popular. Unfortunately, potential users may have to wait until the second generation of the device before buying to allow some edges to smooth. It is also important to improve the user experience to become a little more smooth and satisfying, rather than slow and frustrating.

That said, many will appreciate the novelty of this device, and it has good features like the touch keyboard and, of course, the swivel screen. Moreover, even if it can be a bit of power for many users, especially those who are just using the Web will always be enough energy there to keep them happy.
