Averatec N1231EE1E-1 Netbook
Averatec is introducing their newest netbook, the N1231EE1E-1. Seriously, they should do something about that name to get it to roll off the tongue a little better. This netbook sports some seriously good looks. The brushed aluminum houses the standard netbook innards, including an Intel Atom N450 processor, and 10.1″ display. This is running the Windows [...]

Tuesday, March 16, 2010
The Acer Aspire Timeline series was the answer to underpowered netbooks; for a little more dough, these CULV’s had more power, in a still compact package, albeit a little larger. While they have been big sellers, they were due for an update. The Acer Aspire Timeline 1830T was spotted at the FCC. It is anticipated to [...]

Thursday, March 11, 2010
AMD, so far, has stayed out of the netbook space with their processor offerings. Considering the razor thin margins that Intel makes on the cheapie Atom chips, this likely is a good thing. However, Intel deliberately handicaps the Atom to minimize the performance. Further on up in power, they offer the CULV chips, but they are [...]

Monday, March 8, 2010
The Intel Atom has been made in a dual core version for the desktop space. However, with few exceptions, these are mostly used in nettops. For the netbook space, from the N270 to the N470, these have all been single core chips. This has suited Intel just fine; after all if you want more performance, [...]

Monday, March 8, 2010
The MSI U160 is currently available for sale online in the States. While most netbooks fit into a cookie cutter template, this one stands out for one spec- battery life. The claim is 14 hours, and while you probably won’t get quite that long, the U160 should be able to go the distance of all [...]

Friday, March 5, 2010
Back in the Fall, a curious video for a curious product surfaced. The video was for the Microsoft Courier, a small pen based computing device that promised to put just about every current tablet or netbook to shame. At the time, I simply wasn’t sure that such a device would ever be available as [...]

Somewhere between portable, pocketable, and darn too small lives the USmart MC-1. I am still not decided on which side this thing lands, but it should be so easy to bring along, that I’d be willing to find out. The USmart MC-1 claims to be “The world’s smallest computer,” and with a 4.8″ screen, this is [...]

Wednesday, March 3, 2010
Acer has played well in the CULV segment for the last year, successfully straddling the line between netbooks, and fuller featured notebooks. These CULV units have been sold under the Acer Timeline brand. Acer is rebooting one of the models as the Acer Aspire One 752. It will have the current single core CULV, the Celeron [...]

If you long for the days of a 7″ netbook, then the product Engadget spotted might just be for you. Actualy, I’ll skip right to the punchline, and spare you the suspense- it is only $85. I have to admit at the current price of two tanks of gas, my standards go way down, and [...]

Tuesday, March 2, 2010
Averatec announced an update to their netbook line today, better known as the N1200 series. While the 10.1″ screen with 1024 x 600 resolution may not make these products stand out, the Intel Atom N450 is also in the category of vanilla ice cream. However, there are two things that make the N1200 worth a [...]
