Twinmate nx10 Review
Thursday, 25. June 2009
Had a client yesterday request a laptop with 3G / HSDPA connectivity.
There is a MSI u120h coming out on a month but he wanted it sooner.
After a long search and discussion I found the Twinmate nx10 with 3g modem built in and picked up that day for
$960 AUD.
First impressions were very good. Small Light 1.2kg and sexy.
Comes with XP however didnt have any service packs or updates installed.
So took me about 1 hr to run all the XP updates etc.
I compared with alot of other netbooks but this seemed to have the best features. Major one been it takes 2gb RAM and has a 250gb storage space.
Here are the specs
 |
Intel Atom 1.6Ghz | |
|
10.2″ Wide Screen (1024×600 resolution) | |
|
Built-in Hardisk 250GB HDD & 2GB Memory | |

|
10/100Mpbs LAN | |
|
Non Explosive Lithium ion Battery | |
|
Cards Reader, Express Card Slot | |
|
3 x USB Port, 1 x VGA Port | |
|

|

|
Optional 3G | |
|
Size: 260×195×33mm | |

*1.2Kg Stylish Lightweight with 10.2″ Wide Screen *First in the world with”Non-Explosive Polymer Lithium Battery” in a Intel Atom Technology – An engineering Breakthrough that protects the battery from damage and the risk of overheating due to voltage surge. *Built in 250GB Massive Storage *Non Explosive Lithium ion Battery *160 degree of horizontal Viewing Angle *150 degree of Vertical Viewing Angle |
Twinmate are also the makers of the Durabook
A major competitor the the Panasonic Toughbook.
So Twinmate should be able to make a pretty good laptop.. time will tell.
Suprising this model went under my radar for so long.
Im surprised more laptop manufacturers arent making more laptop with 3g/hsdpa modems built in as this is a feature more and more of my clients are wanting in a laptop.
For under $1000 what a bargain!
