What is the choice of netbook?

Question

laptops

Hello!
I've been going to buy a netbook for a month now. Naturally good :) I read habr and a lot of other useful forums. Then I chose the EEE PC 1201N. But recently, someone sowed a shadow of doubt in my brain that this is the best choice ... So I torture myself with torment. Help me finally decide!
So what is needed:

1. Up to 20 thousand (yes-yes).
   
2. Operating time >= 5 hours.
   
3. High performance. (photoshop, zend-debugger, denwer, wow [for example])
   
4. Up to 12 inches diagonal.
   
5. Bluetooth
   
6. HDMI
   
7. (preferably but not required) Wi-max
   
8. (desirable but not required) Usb 3.0 for the future
   

What my choice is so far:

• Packard Bell XS- EV -202
  
• Packard Bell DOT VR46
  
• Acer Aspire One AO753- U341ki
  
• Toshiba Satellite T110-12H ( shop.key.ru/shop/goods/46257/)
  
• EEE PC 1201N
  

Question:
Advise on what to stop! Or suggest a new option not from this list.

Answer 1

For such money, finding a combination of performance and operating time will, in my opinion, be quite difficult! With the declared 7 hours of operation, in reality they will work for about 3-4 if photoshop is running on it ...
And about games ... WOW on the Celeron is not good!

Answer 2

Not too long ago I asked myself the same question. And in my personal opinion, the class of ultra-thin business class laptops is suitable for work. For me, the best choice was ASUS UL20A. With modification to SU2300.

Answer 3

EeePC 1215N, wait for a model with USB 3.0, but I don’t have it, because I urgently needed it :)

Answer 4

Thanks for the advice.
I really wanted “Acer Aspire TimelineX 1830T-33U2G25iss” through acquaintances with a discount, it would have turned out 21. But I was persuaded by saying that Asus has a poor build and they often fly.
Now I looked, read the reviews and fell in love with the "ASUS Eee PC 1215N" and, apparently, I will also take it through my friends.

Answer 5

When I hear such statements, such as high performance in photoshop on a netbook with a 12" monitor, I laugh and cry. Do you even understand how crazy it sounds? Even on a regular laptop with 15" it was inconvenient for me to cut the design for layout and I'm already silent about color reproduction for photo retouching.
And from this list that you presented, I would choose Acer Aspire One AO753-U341ki

Answer 6

although I do not like acer, but try to look at their Aspire One 721 line (modifications differ from each other in color)

Answer 7

> Operating time >= 5 hours.
On 1201N it most likely will not be. Mine lasts 4 hours. The battery is native, 5600 mAh.
Although I did not try to disable Aero, maybe this will help.
By the way, for this money you can no longer look at a netbook. 12-inch laptops with Core 2 and up are catching up with the Atom.

Answer 8

I recommend saving up and taking the magnificent ASUS UL20FT for 25. 12 inches, 8 hours of work (in real life 6 in power saving mode with Wi-Fi and 4.5 when watching a video). Performance rips any netbook. Photoshop flies, the prime minister walks confidently (if not working with HD, of course). With 1215N, despite its new atom, it cannot even be compared. At the same time, the difference in price is 3,000. If you bring it from abroad, you will most likely meet your ~ 20,000.
*And it is also very pleasant to the touch, only the lid, despite the aluminum, is a little easily soiled.

Answer 9

I also recommend acer travelmate.
I don’t buy it myself just because it’s an acer. But the aluminum case, matte screen, magnesium frame (yes, frame construction) make you think to sell your thinkpad

Answer 10

Unrealistic requirements for a netbook, especially for that kind of money.
Most likely you are looking for a super-thin and productive laptop, but this one costs much more (2-3 times more) than 20,000 rubles.

Answer 11

Eeeee! Bought 1215N (and got into a little debt)! I'll post my impressions in a week.
