Nokia Booklet 3G is made of aluminum with combination of lustrous plastic on top of the lid. Nokia Booklet 3G gives you three color choice, black, ice (white), or azure (blue) gives trendy looks and it truly reflect its build excellence.

Starting with the computing capabilities, Nokia Booklet 3G is equipped with 1.6 GHz Intel® Atom™ Z530 on Intel® Poulsbo US15W chipset. We run few software test and multimedia applications it runs fine but can’t said to be fast. We can blame it to be the 1.6Hhz but it can be Windows 7. We didn’t like the OS because it’s making the processor seems to be crawling.

Nokia Booklet 3G has 1GB DDR2 memory which is fine enough to support the applications and multimedia you run. It can be much better if Nokia put at least 2GB of Memory so the result would be more improved in speed. Nokia Booklet 3G comes with 120GB hard drive it’s not that large space if we compare to other netbooks available but fine enough to save your professional data as well as your multimedia files.

Nokia Booklet 3G Review

Nokia Booklet 3G has 10.1inch, display with 1,280 x 720 pixel. For users who love watching movies and videos Nokia Booklet 3G is impressing. Display is bright and colors are very natural and true. Nokia Booklet 3G has high quality screen seems larger than other netbooks resolution. Nokia Booklet 3G has Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 500 which is helpful enough for multimedia and games but not faster. There is nothing interesting for gamer who want to use netbook as a gaming station as it won’t support most of the new games.

Nokia Booklet 3G has a very soft and comfortable keyboard. Doesn’t feel any stress or pain even if you’re typing for hours. Keys are made of rubber but smaller in size as compare to other netbooks. Slightly larger keyboard would be much better. Touchpad on the Booklet 3Gis fine, by using two fingers you can scrolling but need a little practice for zooming as you need you three fingers to do so. Nokia Booklet 3G best feature is it battery life. With its single charge it last up to 12 hours. But if we use it under loaded applications, it last up to 8hours which seems fair.

Conclusion:

Nokia Booklet 3G is a good start by Nokia in notebooks world. After our test runs and diagnostics Nokia Booklet 3G is not much fast as it should be as compare to other netbooks available. We don’t like the operating system as windows 7 makes the whole computing more slow. Keyboard is less in size but
comfortable to type long documents. Display is good as 10.1inch screen gives maximum view of your movies and videos. Lastly and most important aspect is we dislike the price, Nokia Booklet 3G sells around $600 which is way too much. Users can find much better netbooks with faster configurations in very less price as compare to Nokia Booklet 3G. We give “Nokia Booklet 3G “a 6 out of 10 rating.

Acer called Aspire 5738D a 3D note but it’s a bit disappointment that screen gets too reflective when you are in bright lights and brightness and contrast are not up to the mark as we expected. Acer Aspire 5738D has ATI Mobility Radeon™ HD 4570 graphic chip for the gamers which is not fast as it comes to performance, but with the help of 3D inside Acer Aspire 5738D graphic quality is above average.
