There really are a few of issues we really like concerning the Hercules eCafe EC1000W netbook, which runs Windows seven and sports a ten.1-inch display screen. It's acquired a nicely spaced keyboard for its size,
Windows 7 Pro Key, and has Wireless N built correct into it. There are also places through which we wished the most recent eCafe was somewhat beefier, such as with its 1GB of RAM along with the very same Intel Atom N270 1.6GHz processor the $320 ASUS Eee Pc Seashell has in it. What's neither great or poor, however, is its odd storage predicament.
That's in which the asterisk arrives in. Only 250 gigabytes with the aforementioned 300 is on the laptop computer. The lacking 50GB is,
Windows 7 Professional, curiously, supplied up through the eCafe on the web portal, in which it is possible to retailer what ever you like. Needless to say,
Cheap Office 2007, storage like that is not no cost forever, and after the first year you're going to should commence paying out for it. (Hercules didn't have a price for us nevertheless,
Office Pro 2007, it's even now becoming worked out.) You could often ignore that additional storage by never signing up for it,
Office Enterprise 2007 Key, as we comprehend it.
With all that in mind, the eCafe appears o be a capable contender from the netbook space. It did not seem to bottleneck operating Windows seven, even though we didn't get to try out a lot of processor intensive apps. The eCafe has its own suite of proprietary apps for managing updates, e-mail and messaging that puts it all up front — accessibility that casual users attracted to netbooks may appreciate.
The Hercules eCafe is available now for the aforementioned $400.
