Nokia Booklet 3G – is it worth it?



At a starting price of $800, the Booklet’s considerably more expensive than some of its competitors - like the Dell Mini 10v, which starts at $304.

What is it that makes the Booklet cost so much? (Or, alternately, what is it that makes the Booklet worth so much?)

For starters, the Booklet packs 12 hours – that’s right, 12 – of battery life. It also doesn’t require a cooling fan (read: energy efficient and relatively silent) and has Windows 7 Home Premium as its standard operating system (no other netbook can say the same).

On another note, Apple’s also slated to release a netbook in the near future.
