Nokia Booklet 3G with Windows 7 Home Premium

The Nokia Booklet 3G started shipping in the US last week. And while the units sold at Best Buy only have Windows 7 Starter Edition, Engadget Spanish received the one with Windows 7 Home Premium. As we all know, the Starter Edition has very limited features. And if you happen to recently avail that version, you may contact product support and ask for an upgrade of the OS. I’m not sure if it will come free of charge. And if you happen to already have a copy of the Home Premium, you may follow our little guide on how to install Windows 7 on netbooks.

Some Secrets of the Nokia Booklet 3G

The Nokia Booklet 3G is surely a beautiful piece of art for the netbook category. It has solid-built aluminum body, thinner than most netbooks and probably has all the things you may ask for a netbook. Its battery also lasts for 12 hours and it looks like Nokia is guaranteeing it that you can use it for absolutely 12 hours. It has a keyboard with correct positioning for the right shift key. And the display is also wider than most netbooks in its 1280 x 720 resolution. When it comes to number of ports available around it, its not being left behind and it actually has extra port for HDMI output.

But this reminds me of a cliche I am reminded of, “Don’t judge the book by its cover”. Because inside this pretty booklet is something less.

The Nokia Booklet 3G uses Intel Atom Z530, which according to Yugatech’s comparison, the Z530 performs slower than N270 by 3.5%. But given that, the Nokia Booklet will also eat lesser power from the battery and gives you 12 hours. Another thing you might want this booklet should change is the soldered 1GB RAM to its motherboard. It means that you cannot easily upgrade the RAM in case you want to. But if you possess a gift of soldering, it wouldn’t be much of a problem if you try to replace it with bigger memory, apart from voiding the warranty. Just make sure the replacement RAM you will use will work on it.

Nokia Booklet 3G hands-on video, liked

The Nokia Booklet 3G is Nokia’s first entry on the market. The netbook will be on sale in the US soon, but before it, Dana Wollman of LaptopMag was able to get her hands on it for quick overview. Basically, what make it stand out from other netbooks is its solid build quality. It has aluminum body which gives a light weight to the netbook, but according to Dana it’s not as lighter than you think. The keyboard has some cons too, but I don’t think it’s a big deal. Like most netbooks, it has 3 USB ports along the side. It also has built in 3G module and HDMI output. Probably, this netbook brings all we expect for perfect mobility.
