TheNokia Booklet 3G was anetbook produced by theFinnish companyNokia. It was announced on 24 August 2009.
The Booklet 3G was Nokia's first netbook. The company produced a series of personal computers in the 1980s calledMikroMikko, but sold that business in 1991 to focus on mobile phone production.[4] ThoughKai Öistämö, Nokia's executive vice-president for devices,[4] has said the Booklet is "a natural evolution for us,"[5] Stephen Williams fromThe New York Times says it is "more of a homecoming" because of Nokia's prior computer business.[5] Nokia's expansion into the netbook market is contrary to computer makerApple's 2007 expansion into the phone market with theiriPhone.[4][6]
Nokia announced the device in August 2009.[7] The price was announced to be €575 before tax,[2] making it one of the higher-priced netbooks available.[6][5]
Following thedefence of the original netBook trademark by long-termpartner companyPsion the previous year, Nokia described the Booklet 3G as a "mini-laptop", although it was widely described as anetbook by others.[8] It is 2 centimetres (0.79 in) thick and weighs 1.25 kilograms (2.8 lb),[4] is cased in an aluminium shell.[7] Itsglossy display measures 10.1 inches (260 mm) diagonally, and supportshigh-definition video.
The Booklet uses an Intel Atom Z530 processor[9] to run the MicrosoftWindows 7 operating system. Nokia says that the battery will last up to 12 hours per charge.[7] The Booklet supports network connections throughWi-Fi,Bluetooth and 3G/HSPA.[7] It also offers telecommunications support viaSIM card,[10] has a built-in A-GPS receiver andaccelerometer, and includes Nokia'sOvi Maps service.[7][5][8] The integrated IntelGMA 500 graphic system is poorly supported by theLinux distributions, since the drivers for it are proprietary software.[11]
CNET rated it 4/5, saying it is a "wonderful piece of engineering" and praising its integrated 3G modem, its high-resolution screen, its exceptional battery life and its fan-free design, though they noted it was more expensive than most netbooks.[12] Laptopmag rated only 3/5.[13]
