Nokia forays into the laptops market with the Nokia Booklet 3G
As all of you are aware, it’s not everyday that we have a look at a notebook. However, when a major player in the mobile phone market suddenly decides that they should be diversifying their interests into another technological market, it’s high time we take notice!
The Nokia Booklet 3G was announced by Nokia through Nokia Conversations and, as you will know, is Nokia’s first steps into the unknown world of laptops and netbooks. Considering the fact that all of us are computer geeks to a certain extent (and openly acknowledged mobile phone geeks), much as we try, we can’t stay silent about Nokia’s first netbook, the Nokia Booklet 3G.
However, to actually understand how serious Nokia are with their netbook, a look at the pictures of the netbook should clear these doubts for you.
The Nokia Booklet 3G makes use of the Intel Atom platform. It is also the first ever netbook to have HDMI HD video output and, though we don’t really expect it to be super – awesome or anything like that, the fact that this video output is present on an Atom laptop is a very good step in making laptops media – houses as well.
This netbook’s battery is capable of operating for about 12 hours, which will ensure that it will act as a faithful companion regardless of where you go. The netbook, true to its name, has a modem which is capable of supporting surfing on HSDPA and 3G networks. You can also connect to the internet on this netbook via the Wi-Fi internet connectivity option.
The netbook has a GPS receiver. It has a 10 inch screen and is just 20 mm thick and weight only 1.25 kg. A web cam is also available, as is Bluetooth. Nokia Booklet 3G Reviews have mentioned that the netbook will be retailing for £520. When it is released there will be lots of great Booklet 3G contracts available for you to choose from.
