Olive laptops are new to the cheap laptops market and their latest entry to the market is the Olive Zipbook. The keyboard and touch pad have more than satisfactory ergonomics. The display has an aspect ratio of 16:9 which eliminates the annoying black lines on top and bottom of movies, the 10.2-inch screen is backlit by a WLED hence it has better viewability, and has a resolution of 1024 x 600. The WiFi in it is N wireless enabled, and couple with it comes Bluetooth and a 10/100 LAN port too.
The Battery that comes in it is a regular 6 cell Lithium ion, and has a simple retention mechanism on the back. This netbook is powered by a Qualcomm QSC6085 chipset and also supports EV-DO. The cpu in it is an Intel Atom N270 processor which runs at 1.6 ghz, and comes with 1-GB DDR2 memory, with a 160-GB HDD for storage and weighs in at only 1.3 kgs. The Laptop come preinstalled with a Windows operating system.
This netbook isn't all that flashy as other Laptops in India and sports simple looks, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. It has a matte black finish on its back panel which continues to the inside as well. The internal surfaces including the keyboard and touchpad also have a matte finish.
However the power button and the touch pad aren't black in color.
The keyboard extends from edge to edge and is only 8% smaller than regular keyboards, which makes it resemble a normal keyboard in terms of feel and user experience. The size of the shift and Enter keys are normal too which is very convenient. The only noticeable problem that was noticed was there are no separate PG Up and PG Dn keys, they can be accessible using the Function key however.
The touch pad in it is very likeable, especially because it has a separate marked scroll zone that makes it even easier to navigate pages. Since laptop prices are very competitive these days this Laptop too has been priced very aggressively.
