Whilst this notebook is not going to be ideal to play the latest 3D games or render cinema quality animation, it still holds its own very well when running normal windows applications. The inclusion of 1GB of DDR2 RAM as standard helps IE and Firefox windows open very quickly and let you surf the internet without even the most detailed web pages lagging behind. Office applications, presentations, DVDs, Xvid files and so on, all run flawlessly, so how much more power do you really need?
There’s no modem built in the Q2010, and I don’t mind that at all... dial-up internet is all but dead, it was recently only useful for connecting when you’re out on the road, and even then usually only when you’re stopped at your hotel or someone else’s office etc. But now, any decent hotel you stay at will have either a network port for you to connect to or even better, a wireless broadband service, which most office workplaces you might be visiting will have as well, so you can use the Q2010’s built-in Intel Wireless adapter instead. So why on earth would you still need a dial up connection?
Bluetooth is built in to the Q2010, a good thing too, because if you’re doing a presentation and don’t have at least 3 Bluetooth accessories hanging off various parts of your body, your clients just aren’t going to respect you are they? But seriously, it is a valuable inclusion, making it easier to interface with your PDA, mobile, or even just your new wireless Bluetooth mouse.
Even with its small size, the Q2010 still incorporates a standard (for notebooks) 84-key keyboard, and a touchpad of a useable size. A fingerprint reader is located below the touchpad, useful for securing your laptop and also doubles as a window scroller (like the scroll wheel on a mouse). 4 Hot keys are included to the left of the main keyboard, which by default are set to Calculator, Notepad, Internet Browser and Email, but they can be changed to open any program you choose.
