The Booklet's side mounted speakers are nothing to write home about, either. Full-screen video playback was a bit jerky and pixilated when streaming a 720p episode of Fringe from Fox.com, but a 720p WMV file we downloaded from Microsoft's WMV HD Content Showcase looked better. Images even remained bright and colorful when the screen was viewed from a 90-degree angle.Įven though the Booklet's 1280 x 720 screen is capable of displaying 720p video, the system lacks the horsepower to be a decent multimedia machine. We really appreciated the additional screen real estate when navigating around the desktop, surfing the Web, and using applications such as Google Earth.
The colorful panel offers sharp images at its native 1280 x 720 resolution, which is much higher than a typical netbook's 1024 x 600 screen. The 10.1-inch glossy screen is a bright spot for the Booklet 3G.
