Sylvania GNET31201X6S 10-Inch Magni Elite Slate G-Netbook
When I first opened the box to my new computer that I’d been sent by friend due to an emergency, I was somewhat puzzled. This machine weighs less than three pounds and has what appeared to be a very crammed little keyboard and a 10 inch screen. I couldn’t conceive of how I would be able to use it to get work done and in my line of work a keyboard that is both efficient and doesn’t induce hand cramping is absolutely essential. In the past I had always used very large old school keyboards so I wasn’t confident this machine would be able to do much and it’s so small I had some doubts about its performance. Now, after several months of daily use I have to say that its 1 GB of RAM, 1.6 Ghz processor and 160 GB hard drive space have more than enough power and flexibility to get nearly any job done that I need. It watches videos perfectly fine over a broadband connection, it can play games that don’t require a gaming optimized type of PC and it is so small you can take it anywhere with zero hassles. This netbook from Sylvania is definitely a breakthrough because it’s such a little power house.
If you are looking for a small computer that is exceptionally easy to use then the GNet is absolutely the way to go. It gets the job done in style and won’t leave you hanging on important work. It has a lot more power than it appears like it does at first glance and no matter how many windows you have open, it holds up fine. I put a lot of wear and tear on any computer I use and this machine has held up beautifully. For a price tag of around $300 it is one of the finest machines in its class and a definite king of the netbook world.
