Disappointed by the Apple event this week. One day they are going to release the iTablet we all look forward to.

HP Mini 5101 Netbook’s Good Performance — It’s the Hard Drive

I’ve used a lot of different netbooks. That’s one of the good things about the work that I do — I get to try a lot of different gear. Notably, I’ve tried netbooks of all different sizes, and have been able to compare the difference that higher-capacity batteries can make. Which has led me to conclude that they all perform pretty much the same. That is, until I got hold of the HP Mini 5101 netbook. It is easily the best-performing netbook I’ve tried to date, and after a lot of thought, I believe I know why.

Kidding

In mid-October, 2008 I found myself conducting a five day One-On-One workshop in Algonquin Park and the Muskoka region of north-central Ontario with a client from Ireland. George was shooting with a Sinar medium format digital system while I was shooting with my Hasselblad H2 and Phase One P45+ back. When I had a few free moments I was also testing the brand new Canon G10 and Nikon P6000 pocket digicams for an upcoming comparative review.

Panasonic Lumix GF1

The raison d'etre for 4/3 was to make cameras smaller, and though the first models were somewhat smaller than their 1.5X and 1.6X competitors, it wasn't long before Canon, Nikon and others started producing DSLRs that challenged what Olympus (primarily) was trying to do with the new format.
