Laptop Mag has posted a review of Archos' first netbook, the Archos 10. Archos ia primarily known for its portable media player and its inexperience in the netbook field clearly shows with its first offering.
The model tested had the standard plain-vanilla features - 1.6GHz Atom N270, 5400 rpm 160GB hard drive, 1GB (max) RAM, 10.2" 1024 x 600 LCD and Win XP Home. Price was $399.
Highlights boringly include robust entertainment software, fast hard drive and a large touchpad. Lowlights include dull design, short battery life, very cramped keyboard and WiFi connection issues.
The verdict - While the Archos 10 may offer a bargain with its $100 worth of free software, a fast hard drive, and faster boot time and better graphics, many other $399 10" offer much longer battery life and more ergonomic keyboards.
