Acer Review, Asus Review – Netbook 10

Quick update on the Nokia Booklet 3G. We’ve already posted the estimated, rumored, hopefully still not final price of €575 (or $800+) for a booklet, without subsidy from a wireless carrier or service contract. But let me just post what we know about the technical specs as per Nokia.

So far, those who have been lucky enough to be able to check it out is saying that it’s a bit on the sluggish side, although it looks awesome. Like Macbook awesome, especially the aluminum chassis, and how thin and light it is. So far, apart from the slow processor, looks like a lot of the specs (battery, extensive software, wireless options) set the Booklet apart from other netbooks. And that’s not taking into account how expensive it is.
