The new mobile companion

I ordered it in white. Transfer and delivery everything went quickly. Out of the box like the low weight, the very flat design and pleasantly rounded edges. A timeless design. The display lid in high gloss, the lower grip and matt. The edge of the display is from the inside black mat, which prevents reflections. The keyboard good size with a good sense of pressure. The display can be flipped open to about 140 °. Indeed, there is on the bottom of the device on display this small metal pins, which can leave unsightly scratches on sensitive surfaces.

The microSD card (64GB SanDisk my was recognized easily) closes almost completely with the housing. Just so that they with a fingernail may push out well again. The touchpad is really big and easy to operate class. Unfortunately, the charger and cable is available in black, which looks rather incongruous to the white device. Well, I hope for rare loading units. One must mention a notebook PC without fan noise is a sheer delight it once.

For what I could do this with the operating system, everything goes very fast. Also, the Internet Explorer is really fun. Since then Bing comes into play. Waking from standby works quickly and easily. The display is very colorful and makes a good impression. A device with touch screen I do not miss here. Since I'd rather ordered a Bluetooth mouse in white.

Even something technical. After all updates about 13 GB are left on the flash memory. I think for the average user Is that enough for the programs, uh Apps. The MicroSD, which must then serve for data and downloads will be read only with about 11 MB / s and / s written with about 9 MB, no matter how fast the card would be otherwise. Therefore also makes a USB 3 port on this device does not really make sense, if it is assumed that larger data packets are on the MicroSD.

How well do the CPU and only 2GB of memory in everyday life to be seen.

Update:

After installing my standard programs and MS Office 9GB remain. The memory use fluctuates as between 700 and 900 MB. It is therefore both still room for improvement. The flash memory provides a very good performance. Access times seem to be very tidy.

The bottleneck is the MicroSD. Several GB data from or towards an external memory takes time.

Cloud storage offerings you will kill nowadays. I will initially put a USB stick in the Fritz box. The Fritz Media Server appears comfortably network addresses in the Explorer.

After you install a codec pack for Windows Media Player from this Full HD plays smoothly. The performance of Firefox is great.

Update 2:

The confusion with the battery life is probably the fact that the power supply has an output of 33 watts and the battery has a capacity of 38 watt hours. But these are two different things.
The viewing angle of the otherwise beautiful display is not particularly famous. Horizontally good nor necessary to sit in the vertical direction have to direct to the display height. The image is quickly unreadable with appropriate motion.
The small pins I have about it "defused" with a drop of epoxy glue. Let's see if that holds.

It is nunmal tablet technology in a notebook with 32-bit Windows 8.1, 365 days inclusive Office, a larger screen without touch function, long battery life and a good keyboard and trackpad. The whole thing in an attractive plastic garment at a fair price.

Update 3:

After two weeks following impression remains:

Pro:
- Price, processing, design, weight, compact design, keyboard and touchpad
- BATTERY LIFE!
- Fast boot
- CPU, RAM and Flash memory performance for "normal users" more than adequate
- Good WiFi connection

Contraindications:
- The flash memory is too small. You have to start very early to juggle, eg secure Apps of Apple device.
- Built MicroSD unit is slow. So to 7MB s write /. My external card reader is equipped with 9 MB / s even faster.
- Low viewing angle of the display

Nevertheless, I would buy the device with Windows 8.1 at any time.

Update 4:

Now it has happened. After an aborted me install the unit has hung up on reboot. What I have done previously in such a case? Mains and battery out. Well, but is not at the fixed verbautem battery. So wait until the battery is discharged and the unit has been switched off completely. After that it was again "fresh" boot.

Update 5:

The epoxy is still holding the bomb on the pins. I am still very satisfied with the device. The so-called. Netbook 2.0 meets all my wishes perfectly. The MicroSD and I have become friends also slow. One must not ask too many loads or stores at the same time of their easy. Best just one thing at a time. The Bluetooth compounds are very stable, ranging as far as no other of my devices.

If in the future the netbook should be presented with 3.0 SSD and otherwise the same quality I will change again and then be content for many years.
