We bought one of these yesterday and plan to return it today. It's not bad, it just doesn't serve our needs.

Sylvania Netbook

What we wanted was a substitute for our laptops so we didn't have to lug them colse to on short trips. What we got is, for all practical purposes, an oversized Pda.

Netbook at Cvs

Following is a comparison and variation list. "L" stands for WinXp/Vista laptop, "N" stands for the Sylvania netbook.

Hardware

L: 4 lbs or more

N: 2 lbs (so light, this is the best thing about it!)

L: pro build quality

N: Feels more like a toy

L: Slow boot

N: Fast boot

L: Intel or Amd full processors, gigs of Ram

N: Via 8505 processor, 128 mB Ram

L: Battery life 3-4 hours

N: 2 hours after first charge

L: Hard drive (operating theory susceptible to viruses)

N: Flash drive (easily reset to factory specs with a paper clip if it crashes); Sd card slot (not Sdhc)

L: 2-3 Usb ports

N: 3 Usb ports

L: Good seeing screen, at least 1024 x 768.

N: appealing screen lacking contrast, 800 x 480 pixels. It's ok for browsing, although some websites are wider than 800 pixels and you'll need to use the slider bar to see the right side of the screen. Being a small screen, 7", icons in the lowest tray are quite small. With some screen content, pixel columns are visible, indicating non-uniform pixels. This is not a big qoute if you are absorbed in the content.

L: Reasonably full sized keyboard

N: Barely touch typeable. Space key feels recessed, requiring more than a tap to operate. Touchpad on tested unit was erratic. I used a Usb wireless mouse, which somewhat defeats the advantage of greatest portability.

L: WiFi 802.11 b/g or better, plus ethernet (wired)

N: WiFi 802.11, plus ethernet (wired)

L: Internal speakers, headphone jack, microphone jack, built-in microphone, Line In jack (optional)

N: Internal speakers, headphone jack, microphone jack (no built-in mic). Speakers are tiny and tinny; I recorded with two microphones. The first was part of a capability Telex headset, fwith which the recording of my voice was tinny and soft. I used an older dynamic microphone for tape recordings; it provided a quality, rich sound to my voice. There was noticeable background hiss on files recorded with this computer. Other audio files, such as videos and mp3s sounded fine.

Software

L: WinXp or Vista --- easy to find programs

N: Windows Ce 6.0, similar to Windows Mobile- miniature programs. Some websites will recognize it as a mobile expedient and set their screen display for it. Three are plentifulness of Windows mobile or Ce applications ready if you know where to find them on the net.

L: Full function browser choices, i.e. Ie, Firefox, Chrome, Opera

N: Ie, looks general although somewhat crippled. Ie won't play some Flash and other videos. N requires an external program to play YouTube. It comes with Windows Media Player, which doesn't stream YouTube. So it also comes with Tcimp (Core Player), a favorite video player that allows streaming. I tried to fast send through "Nosferatu" on YouTube, and the player locked up, requiring Alt-Ctrl-Del to end the program.

L: You're going to have an email application

N: I found no email application (e.g. Outlook), only an Im application. You can, of course, use web based email such as Hotmail, Yahoo, and Google.

L: Msword and Excel are available.

N: Only a Word reader and Excel reader are installed. It does have Wordpad, which will save docs in Msword format.

The desktop is similar to WinXp. There are choices of desktop backgrounds, two of which seemed to be from anime, targeted to pre-teens or early teens. Applications open quickly. Browsing is reasonably quick.

Conclusions

The bottlenecks for me are the limitations of Windows Ce and associated software. I can get used to the miniature keyboard and screen. If it used alkaline batteries rather than rechargables, I might be inclined to keep it as an crisis device. It's wonderfully stowable. But rechargeables don't hold the fee over some months of inactivity like alkalines do. This is the same qoute I have with the portable Tv I keep in the trunk of my car.

As a single use computer, such as watching YouTube or naturally surfing, it could work well. Notwithstanding web surfing concerns, it could make a good children's laptop.
