This dual-core processor is based on the new Bay Trail-M platform's Silvermont architecture - the same platform as current Atom CPUs. The EasyNote is powered by an Intel Celeron N2805. The screen functions perfectly and didn't cause us any problems. Packard Bell also equipped their netbook with a 10-point touchscreen. It gives the user very precise control over the mouse pointer. Despite its small size, we like the pad overall. The pad's mouse keys have a rough surface, a short travel and a clearly audible and palpable click point. Not every gesture is activated by default. The individual multitouch gestures can be turned on or off in the pad's configuration menu. Fingers glide smoothly across the surface of the pad. The EasyNote's multitouch touchpad measures about 7.8 x 3.9 cm (3.1 x 1.5 inches). Because the keys are relatively close-set, it's easy to accidentally press two at once. All in all, this is a decent keyboard, and you can type quickly and fluidly on it. The keyboard yields a little bit as you type, but not enough to be considered a problem. They have a short travel and clear click point, though the latter could be a little crisper.

The keyboard takes up the full width of the device. Packard Bell equips its netbook with a standard, unlit keyboard. The EasyNote's warranty period can be extended to up to three years for an additional 70 Euros (~$95). The same goes for the Akoya. Buyers of the ThinkPad Edge will have to be content with a 12-month standard warranty. The EasyNote is outfitted with a 24-month warranty. We decided not to attempt it, though, as it appeared that others had already tried it a few times on our test device. Presumably, you could access the device's insides if you removed the keyboard. MaintenanceĮven though it appears that the underside of the computer is covered with a large maintenance hatch, this is in fact an illusion.
Price-wise the two devices are on common ground as well. This argument doesn't quite make sense, as the Akoya - also a 10-inch netbook with a touchscreen - comes with the 64-bit version of Windows 8 and MS Office 2013 Home & Student. Acer (owner of Packard Bell) cited "Microsoft's licensing policies" as their reasoning behind this. Even though the netbook has a 64-bit CPU, Packard Bell installs the 32-bit version of Windows 8. The EasyNote comes with Windows 8 pre-installed.

Inside the netbook's packaging, you'll find a manual with warranty information, a quick-start pamphlet and a license sticker for MS Office 2013 Home & Student. The integrated webcam has a resolution of up to 1280x720 pixels and produces a grainy image.

Instead, the computer is equipped with a Bluetooth 4.0 module. Packard Bell decided against an Ethernet slot. Its reception is good the connection remains stable both in the router's immediate vicinity (about 3 meters) and two floors below the router (broadcasting power at about 50%). The EasyNote's Ethernet module is made by Atheros (AR9565) and supports the Ethernet standards 802.11 b/g/n.
