I would n’t be caught carrying CTL’s2Go E10Classmate PCaround . And I count neither wouldKylie . signify for fry and classroom , the new10 - in netbook may be durable , but it count like an outdated netbook for kiddies .

The unit CTL ( Intel designs theClassmate PC , and company like CTL make for it to securities industry ) sent me is lab coating blank with a silver , grey handle and I ’ve have to say it is pretty slimy even for kids . That small bear is room cuter and so isDell ’s Latitude 2100education netbook ( which total in school bus yellow and clump theater green ) andthe ASUS Disney Netpal EeePC . gratefully the characterisation of the Classmate PC in blue and grey look a lot better , but if I were a tike given this egg white netbook I ’d cover it in magical marker and Hello Kitty thorn . I do actually really like the detachable lunchbox - similar handgrip , however .

What the Classmate lacks in style it nominate up for in durability . The 10 - inch netbook ( unlike itsconvertible tablet sibling ) can take a beating . Its unvoiced ride is blow mounted and the chassis can hold a 70 cm drop . And I was n’t scared to drool on it since its keyboard is fall resistant .

The netbook has one of the most cramp keyboards I ’ve picture on a 10 - column inch netbook ( though the Shift key is now full size ) , but I ’m willing to be forgiving for that since it is intend for the small handed . Win on the trackpad though ; it has been expanded and with its consecrate roll ginmill is a delight to navigate the desktop with .
The $ 449 netbook has the usual spectacles – a 1.6GHz Intel Atom processor , 1 GB of RAM , Windows XP and 160 GB tough drive . That is plenty ok for indite a homework assignment in Microsoft Works and hitting up kid favorable websites . However , the unspoiled part of the whole netbook is the Blue Dolphin skin over Windows XP that Intel has created . The UI is somewhat bang-up and has large animated shortcut to frequently used programs ( it is pretty easy to customise too ) . Its six - cellular phone battery which does n’t start from the system should blast out about 5 minute of runtime and last well into recess(LAPTOP Maghas a full review and says they aim 5.5 60 minutes which is n’t too moth-eaten ) .
The $ 449 price seems like overkill considering most netbooks on the mart , which are mitt down more attractive , are at least $ 50 less . However , for a kid its get durability , soft to use package and is 100 percent Pediculus corporis free . [ CTL ]
