Packard Bell Dot M/A performance tested
The people on NetbookWereld have a detailed series of comments on the Packard Bell Dot M A Mini-Notebook (also known as a rebadged version of the Gateway LT3100). And as the Gateway version The Packard Bell M A is replaced by moderate ratings, at best.
The laptop has a 11.6 inch, 1366 x 768 pixel display and a L110 AMD Athlon 64-bit CPU. Moreover packs ATI Radeon X1270 graphics. After NetbookWereld, the battery will run for about 4 hours when surfing the Internet via WiFi, Bluetooth, streaming music, and keep the screen brightness to about 75%. It would not surprise me if you look at 4.5 to 5 hours, if you adjusted the settings a bit.
HD video playback is something to be desired. The evaluation team tried playing a movie and 720p playback was a bit choppy. The computer fan is supposedly pretty loud. But the drive was pretty fast and the touchpad supports 2-finger gestures, including zooming.
