The Booklet 3G is Nokia’s first netbook, but they’re trying not to label it as such. It’s supposed to be a mini laptop for all-day mobility allowing up to 12 hours on a single charge. It looks great, too. The Nokia Booklet 3G’s chassis is made from a single piece of machined aluminum, similar to Apple’s Macbooks. How do I like it? Read on for the review.

HARDWARE

Size. The Nokia Booklet 3G’s dimensions are 10.4 x 7.3 x 0.78 inches. It weighs 2.76 lbs. It won’t be pocketable like Nokia’s phones, but it’s smaller than most of my old college textbooks. It can also easily fit in a backpack.
Build Quality. The Nokia Booklet 3G feels really solid in the hands. I wouldn’t try, but it gives an impression that it could withstand a fall. The laptop is mostly visibly aluminum with the exception of the glossy plastic cover on top of the lid. It’s not removable, but models come in black, ice (white), or azure (blue). It’s upscale looks really matches its build quality.

Internals. Inside the Nokia Booklet 3G is is an Intel Atom Z530 1.6 GHz with a soldered 1GB DDRD RAM that is not upgradeable. It includes 120GB 4200 RPM hard drive for storage. For more details, check the full specifications.
I’m a little disappointed with the performance. I’m a demanding user, but even simple multitasking seems to lag on the Booklet 3G. I couldn’t browse the web smoothly while Windows 7 was pestering me about stuff about available updates or that the virus protection was expiring soon. Even just browsing with multiple tabs seem to give the Booklet some trouble. I’m also shocked that Hulu videos are choppy. Fortunately, Youtube seems to play well.
