Canon PowerShot SD1400 IS Review, Price, Specs, Advantages and Disadvantages

Canon PowerShot SD1400 IS

The Canon PowerShot SD1400 IS is very small, only 92x56x18mm (3.6×2.2×0.7 inches), with a weight of 133 grams (4.7 ounces). According to Canon, it’s the thinnest PowerShot to date. Despite its small size, it’s sturdy, with a body that’s mostly metal. The SD1400 IS is tapered at the sides and all controls are recessed to allow the camera to easily slide in and out of a pocket.

ASUS Eee PC 1001P SeaShell Review, Price, Specs, Advantages and Disadvantages

ASUS Eee PC 1001P SeaShell

The Eee PC 1001P is a lower-cost version of the 1005PE Seashell and features a similar clamshell chassis but offers different lid designs. Our 1001P model comes with a textured weave pattern imprinted on the screen cover. The 1001P lacks some of the 1005PE’s glossy flair, and its stylish island keyboard, but overall still retains a simple yet modern look.

The Eee PC 1001P uses a fairly standard LED-backlit display panel with a 1024 x 600 native resolution. Unlike the 1005PE, the 1001P offers a matte-finish display which isn’t prone to glare or added reflections from brightly lit rooms. Even with its matte finish, the display offers excellent color saturation and contrast. The screen resolution is small at 1024 x 600, though I prefer a resolution of 1366 x 768. Obviously this might not be cost effective on a netbook priced under $300 but I can dream, right? Vertical viewing angles are average, with minimal color distortion when viewing from below and some overexposed colors when viewed from above. Horizontal viewing angles are better with colors staying accurate at extremely wide viewing angles with a little color wash out.

The 1001P has a comfortable keyboard and is easy to type on. ASUS returned to a standard keyboard design like the 1005HA’s, instead of a Chiclet-style keyboard on the 1005PE. The keys are slightly smaller than what you find on a full-size notebook, but once you adjust your typing strokes, it isn’t much of a problem. I am not sure I would recommend using the keyboard on a daily basis as your primary input method, but for traveling or completing work in the classroom, it’s just fine.

ASUS Eee PC 1001P SeaShell Specs:
Windows 7 Starter Edition (32-bit)
