Powerful Netbook! If you know the difference from notebook.

As an IT specialist and computer enthusiast, I can not help but smile,
when I hear in reviews here or acquaintances how terribly slow but is your laptop. Because soon it turns out
which is meant by "laptop" no "laptop" but a netbook. And since usually the rub:
Many inform yourself before buying just not about where the difference lies, and are then disappointed that its 200th EUR netbook can not constitute GTA5 liquid or Windows does not boot under 10 seconds, as is the case with a 800 EUR laptop.

Caveat: The Acer Aspire E3-112 is a technically very modern and in comparison to the 1st generation netbooks with its 1.6 GHz N270 Atom processors a true racing machine. Mind you for a netbook. Netbooks like the Acer Aspire E3-112 may look from the outside
like a small laptop, but under the hood is in generally a completely different hardware that is optimized for surfing the net, office and playing videos. And all this with a battery life of 3-6 hours in a 1.3kg heavy chassis. As should be clear that in low-power processor and limited space for cooling also no place for complex graphics chips remains to play the very latest games on it. Who has a plan so, should a laptop with appropriate access. Powerful CPU and graphics card. Which, although more expensive, but performance has now times its price.

But now for the E3-112:

Purpose:
-----------------
I bought the device as a replacement for my Samsung NC-10 (1st Gen N270 Atom). The device is intended to accompany me during my Japan holiday. It is important to me that I can play every evening the films of my camcorder on the disk and can view the Full-HD and sort out if necessary. In addition, the webcam should useful for communication via Skype be good home and be large enough for blogging, the screen and the keyboard be fit for work. Degree at the keyboard scores a netbook over a tablet. In addition, the space is larger and I have an in Jap. Hotels important Lan port on your device.

Processing:
-----------------
The housing is made of silver plastic (not aluminum), 2cm thick and quite rigid. The device is simple and resembles a large square laptop Acer Aspire V-5 very at least in shape and style. Displayramen is somewhat bulky, but the hinges are properly processed and also to the gap dimensions, there are nothing to complain about.

Keyboard:
----------
The keyboard is a little spongy as I would expect from a chiclet keyboard, it can, however, due to the really
large buttons layout very well write it. A slightly firmer SPACE key would have been desirable.

Connections:
---------------
There are 1 combined input jack (for headsets, who has two connectors need an adapter), to 2 USB slots,
1x USB 2.0 and 1x USB 3.0. on the back, next to a Gigabit Ethernet jack and an SD card slot. and HDMI output.
Basically, everything you want. I would have liked a USB 3 port on the side, then it would be perfect.

Screen:
-------------------------
The TN panel is quite high luminosity (do compared with my old Samsung NC-10. If the resolution in combination with 11.6 inches
a fairly sharp picture that is well suited for surfing. When viewing angle must not expect miracles. There is no IPS display.
For Matt and little mirror. Pixel errors does not my device.

Power:
------------
The power of the device is very good for a netbook. The small Celeron plays Full HD videos from without muck.
The loading times when high and shutdown are not short, but who wants to can remedy with a SSD here.
On occasion, sophisticated websites to short "think times" during page loading. But all that is really under.
The 2.GB memory for Win 8 bit little. As I understand it leaves the Ramriegel but replace by a bigger one.

Heat / volume
--------------------------
The noise was kept at the device is limited. Striking is the quite noisy knuspernde disk. Here is an SSD would be
have been a better solution.

Conclusion:
-------
A modern good netbook, which also for the modern use of Full HD videos and Win 8.1 offers different than the 1st generation enough power. Who else uses an SSD drive instead of the built-in 500 GB HDD, has a great whisper quiet companion for the holidays. Slightly annoying, I find that there are only 2 USB ports, and the screen and keyboard are just average. Here would be still room for more quality. Even the massive safety plug on the tiny power supply does not need to be.
Bottom line: Great second device on the go !!!
