What is it? The Advent 4213 is a mini laptop / netbook / webbook with 10.2-inch screen.
What we think? It's fast, it's portable and with built in HSDPA wireless mobile broadband caperbilities, its something we recommend highly.
This netbook comes with a good 10.2-inch screen with 1,024 x 600 resolution, an Intel Atom N270 processor running at 1.6GHz, 1GB of RAM (plenty for the included Windows XP)
The keyboard is a lot better than on any of the Eees - even the Eee PC 1000
There's a 1.3Mp webcam above the screen and a pair of tiny built in speakers, so video chats are possible without additional peripherals, helped by the 802.11b/g wireless networking and mobile broadband. There's also Bluetooth connectivity and an ethernet port, along with VGA monitor output and a pair of jack sockets for audio in and out. To allow easy access to SD cards and the like, there's a multi-format card reader included too.
If you want the cheapest mobile broadband enabled 10.2-inch netbook out there, then the Advent 4213 is not difficult to recommend.
If you like your SCC (Small, Cheap Computers) to be not too small, the Advent 4213, with its 10.2-inch display, will appeal. So will its price, which puts it well ahead of the similarly sized competition.
The Advent 4213 also ticks all the correct connectivity boxes: VGA, 10/100Mb/s Ethernet, HSDPA wireless mobile broadband, audio ports, 802.11b/g Wi-Fi and a trio of USB 2.0 ports. Unlike many of its rivals it has Bluetooth on board, if you need it. The webcam is a 1.3-megapixel job.
