I rarely see an accessory worth talking about, but this one stood out. While notebooks have grown smaller into netbooks, printers have not exactly kept pace.

When it comes to netbooks there are few accessories that I feel the need to purchase. That said, a TV tuner is one of the few that can be a perk, of course, anyone who likes netbooks will also most likely understand that size is an issue and smaller sometimes is better. Given that, if you [...]

3. July 2009 | by Robert Nelson
Just about a week ago we began seeing complaints coming from angry Dell customers who ordered the Mini 10 netbook with the optional internal TV tuner.

I am a regular user of my Eee PC 1000H, in fact I am using it to type up this post. I will also say that, so far I have been a happy 1000H user, which really says a lot considering I have used a half dozen other netbooks before arriving here. Of course I [...]
