Viewsonic 10-inch G’s Tablet is designed to compete with the Galaxy and Tab iPad U.S. dollars for your gadget. At first glance, the slate has a strong specs: a bright 1024 x 600 display, a front-facing webcam, and a powerful dual-core CPU Tegra 2. It also features the unique Touch UI NTAP layered on top of Android 2.2, which is designed to be consumer friendly. But the unique features and its reasonable $ 399 price tag add up to a compelling product?

At 10.5 x 6.8 x 0.5 inches, the G is not the smallest slate Tablet on the block by a stretch. At 1.55 pounds, it weighs as much as the iPad. It is much larger than the iPad and 7-inch Tab Galaxy, though. The glossy black plastic front and matt black on the back look and feel a little cheap. We heard the creaking slate in hand when we picked it up.

On the left of the G Tablet, you’ll find a headphone jack, a mini-USB port for PC connection, a full size USB port for connecting USB drives, and a microSD card reader. Unfortunately you can not charge the G Tablet via USB. Instead, a special AC adapter that connnects its own connection to the slate. A docking port on the bottom of the G Tablet is designed to support HDMI output, but there is no mention of an adapter on the ViewSonic’s website.

The 10.1-inch 1024 x 600 screen on the tablet has G-sharp images, but colors seem muted. Viewing angles are solid at 90 degrees to the left or right when the device perpendicular to the ground or a table. However, when the slate is resting flat on his back, you have the right to the top of the washing or images completely. Unfortunately, there is no kickstand to prop up the device. We also noticed that the G Tablet picked up many fingerprint smudges, over the iPad.

The screen supports two-finger multitouch gestures like pinch to zoom with little noticeable delay. The built-in accelerometer is not as responsive as we’d like, we sometimes had to shake the device to get the orientation and set to detect.

One of the only characteristics of their own Tap n’ Tap UI that we really want is the split virtual keyboard. When in landscape mode, the keyboard will cut down the middle on the line between the G and H keys so you can type with your thumbs and did not seek to target those middle keys. When in portrait mode, the keyboard is not split, but does have nice, large keys.

Unfortunately, the G Tablet not support haptic feedback on the keyboard or anywhere else, so you will not feel any response when you press the keys. Those who like Swype keyboard that can be used on the Galaxy Tab and other Android phones are out of luck.

Before we installed the latest software update from Viewsonic, everything we did in the Tap Tap n ‘ UI seemed slow, disable the browser apps start playing games. We even experienced periodic locks and crashes. It is no wonder that Staples G Tablet pulled from the shelves in December, claiming the device suffered from a manufacturing defect.

However, after we Viewsonic’s over-the-air update is installed at the end of December, we saw a dramatic improvement in usability. With the installation of the update, applications running relatively quickly and we were able to switch tasks without crashing or stuttering. However, we still noticed that the screen would occasionally lay in half when switching screens in the UI, like when we switched from the desktop to the apps menu in Classic mode.

If we synthetic tests, the strength of the two Tegra hardware was shone through. On Linpack, G Tablet scored no less than 36.1455, much higher than the 14 turned in by the Samsung Galaxy Tab (T-Mobile) or the 4.3 offered by the CherryPal CherryPad. Even the fast 4G Epic managed only 7.9. On An3DBench graphics test, the G Tablet scored 630,625, which is only slightly lower than the Galaxy Tab (7075). On Nbench’s Integer, Floating Point, and the memory tests, the G Tablet scored 23.7388, 3.931.10 and 2.771.16, respectively. The Galaxy scored Tab 4, 0.77, and 2.9 in the same tests.

We’re still not sure who will nettops as the ViewSonic VPC100 so attractive today, at least at the prices. For with their netbook-like, nuclear-powered innards, they are really only suitable for light web browsing (atom can not handle Hulu.com ‘s Flash video without stuttering) and the basic tasks of productivity. And with prices close to $ 700, you can pick up a low-end configuration of the Dell Studio One 19 or Lenovo IdeaCentre A600 and get an all-in-one PC with a larger screen and a full power processor. But if $ 700 is your budget can handle all of the MSI Wind Top AE1900-05SUS, a nettop, we tested recently, is still a better buy than the ViewSonic VPC100, thanks to the wind’s Top touchscreen and 2GB RAM. (The VPC100 has only 1 GB.)

We like the ViewSonic VPC100 for its bright screen and slim profile. It is only 1.5 inches thick-thinner than most LCD monitors on the market. The fact that a possibility ViewSonic, a 160GB hard drive, an Intel Atom N270 processor and other standard parts in a nettop case that is slim, get found impressive. It is simply not impressive enough to warrant the $ 700 retail price. The market is pricing something to addressing problem with many online providers of this system for closer to $ 500 ships, but still makes it only slightly cheaper than the MSI Wind Top, which offers more features and slightly better performance.

Since ViewSonic is known primarily for its LCDs, we expected the screen on the VPC100 to be good, and it did not disappoint. Bright (designed to 300cd/m2) and crisp look, it’s good for a screen with a native resolution of 1,366 x 768 pixels. We have not noticed also the same viewing angle limits, which we saw in the screen of the 18.4-inch Averatec All-In-One. Expect set not in a position, brightness of the screen, or any other LCD settings for that matter, without digging into the software. The VPC100 has a little power in the middle of the body set key below the screen and it is the only button on the device, if you count the eject button for the optical drive. A 1.3-megapixel Web cam also lives across the screen.

The DVD drive is the laptop compartment as diversity, not the slot-loading type we prefer to all-in-one. (It feels found a bit more durable than the subject in the MSI Wind Top.) Below the DVD drive on the right side of the VPC100 living standard two USB ports, a multiformat memory card reader, the SD-handles , xD-Picture Card, MultiMediaCard and Memory Stick flash format.

Around back, we were surprised to find PS/2 for mouse and keyboard. This means that the forgettable wired input devices that do not bind with this system ship all USB ports, but we think that all should be all-in-one with a wireless keyboard and mouse ship. Other connections on the back included microphone and headphone jack, two USB ports and a Gigabit Ethernet port (802.11b/g WiFi is also included in delivery). Also the reference back around to the right of the ports is a big removable disk, with two screws to access the RAM and 2.5-inch hard drive, then the system is some upgrade potential. The pair of 3-watt speakers sounded better than on some net-tops, we have seen, but a decent $ 15 pair of desktop speakers sounds much better.

We expect the ViewSonic VPC100 be slow on the test after which an atom-based nettop processor, but it turned out to be underwhelming, even by those standards. It took 23 minutes and 29 seconds and our 11-track Windows Media Encoder 9 test ready. This is more than two-and-a-half minutes slower than the 18.5-inch Averatec All-In-One PC System. Only the Asus Eee Top ET1602 that we reviewed in February was slower, the task. The VPC100 lasted 19 minutes and 27 seconds on our 11-track iTunes conversion test, complete two slower than the Averatec All-in-One and the Asus Eee Top We do not even try to bother our Company of Heroes gaming test run like the Intel GMA 950 graphics integrated clearly not suitable for today’s 3D games.

Although we recommend the ViewSonic VP100, before we would Averatec’s 18.4-inch All-In-One PC, due to its questionable build quality, the touch screen-enabled MSI Wind Top AE1900-05SUS a better value for the same price and it leads to better results thanks to its 2 GB of RAM. ViewSonic has packed a pretty picture and nettop typical components in a slim, attractive case, but most Nettops we’ve seen, more features and a slightly better offer for the same price. To really create a compelling value, as ViewSonic is Nettops VPC100 have to fall in the price well below $ 500. Until then, low-end all-in-one from Dell or Lenovo, the VPC100′s lunch and offers more RAM, a much-more-powerful dual-core processor and a much better overall PC experience for not much more money.

The ViewSonic VPC190 is rather plain, even from budget all-in-one PC standards. Like its predecessor, the VPC100, sacrifices the VPC190 far too low price. Although this revision improves on the rather limited functionality of the VPC100, users should enter the market for an inexpensive all-in-one weigh their options carefully.

The VPC190 comes with a 1.66GHz dual-core Atom processor D510, 2GB DDR2 memory and Windows 7 Home Premium (32-bit). The meager 160 GB hard drive provides storage space is limited, even in its category. The system received a mark of 39 on our WorldBench 6 test suite, one of the poorest scores we’ve seen for a budget all-in-one PC. In contrast, offers the slightly more expensive MSI Wind AE2010 twice as much space on the hard disk, and earned 60 on WorldBench 6th

Unlike many of his all-in-one peer VPC190 lacks a touch screen, but it could for people who want a space-saving design and are not sold on Windows 7′s touch functionality on them. The 18.5-inch diagonal screen ‘s 1366-by-768-pixel resolution, it is suitable for display 720p high-definition content. Video streaming of Hulu and YouTube was not very uneasy, especially after the GPU-supported Flash installed 10.1 beta. A fair amount of blurring in the action sequences were difficult but especially when displayed at full screen size.

The color was nice, although reds and yellows looked boring sometimes lose sharpness and detail. Audio playback via the built-in speaker is quite loud, but it is in a tinny, distorted mess at higher volumes. Gaming performance is not a realistic option: Equipped with integrated graphics from Intel have the VPC190 to deliver playable frame rates on our benchmark Unreal Tournament 3, regardless of resolution and picture quality.

ViewSonic has to earn some points for providing a simple, aesthetically pleasing machine. The glossy black casing can be a fingerprint magnet, but it provides a universally appealing dish. The unit is fairly thin, with a floor area not much bigger than that of a typical LCD display. There are no windows, and the tilt adjustment is a bit limited.

The rear of the machine houses a pair of USB ports and a Gigabit Ethernet port; the VPC190 we examined also supports 802.11n wireless technology. On the left side of the case are four more USB ports, a multi-format card reader, headphone and microphone jacks, and the power adapter port.

A slot-loading DVD burner takes the right side of the chassis, but there is no eject button for the burner. Remove the CD, you must eject it within the OS – an annoying, multistep process in Windows. The front of the machine is a 1.3-megapixel Webcam and convenient controls for adjusting the brightness of the monitor on the fly.

The included keyboard and mouse extension of the chassis is glossy black motif. I found the keyboard chiclet-style buttons quite comfortable with the design. Under the keyboard features volume control and media playback are controlled (through a function key). The included mouse, although it is clearly large enough to use for hand-friendly. Neither peripheral is wireless, unfortunately.

sell in his push to VPC190 the conspicuous in a price that made so many compromises ViewSonic that the system seems to be barely sufficient for domestic use. In a shop or office environment where space is at a premium and low standards, could thrive machine. However, you can find all the budget-in-one alternatives that provide superior performance for little or no additional cost – with or without touch screen functionality.
