Lenovo’s ThinkPad X121e
Lenovo is on the verge of releasing their ThinkPad X121e, the successor to the able X120e. It has the 11.6″, 1366 x 768 display that walks the line between netbook and ultraportable when you need to do some serious work on the road. This device is notable as it can be configured with two processor options. [...]

4. July 2011 | by Jonas
AMD leaked its roadmap of upcoming Fusion chips, and they seem to be getting serious about this space. Codenamed Hondo, they are targeting a 2W power level. Now that is seriously low, and below the current Atom parts, so they are taking the fight to where Intel lives. Its 2 Bobcat cores will support Direct 11 [...]

8. June 2011 | by Jonas
The HP Pavilion dm1z is an example of an AMD Fusion based netbook. It actually has the slightly larger than a netbook 11.6″ display, that many of us think makes it incredibly more useful than the more mainstream 10″ display. Be that as it may, it has some reasonable specs: AMD E350 dual core processor, 1.6 GHz 3 [...]

7. June 2011 | by Jonas
Acer updated their TimelineX series of notebooks. These are “near netbooks,” that offer a lot more performance in a larger package. Brad over at Liliputing is disappointed that Acer now has 13″, 14″ and 15″ models, but seems to have lost the 11.6″ one along the way. As the owner of an 1830T, which is [...]

While Intel’s Atom has been celebrating 100 million chips sold, AMD has been working on their Fusion processors. AMD has clearly made some strides lately in the low power portable area. For netbook buyers, those stickers they put all over the palmrest are there to advertise how great a netbook is, and why it should be [...]
Continue reading...AMD A-Series Llano APU
A leaked presentation gives some insight into the upcoming roadmap of processing power from AMD. While the details are sparse, the Vision (ok, inside pun intended) of “Intel’s Archrival” is coming into focus. Of interest is the Llano A-Series APU. The slide indicates that this is designed for tablet use. Their comparison point is that Intel [...]

3. May 2011 | by Jonas
There have not been too many deals worth sharing lately, but this one I did want to bring to your attention. I am especially a fan of the 11.6″ display size, as the 10″ one that is the mainstream netbook size can definitely be a little limiting when doing anything other than email. Today’s deal is [...]

19. April 2011 | by Jonas
The Acer 721 was always a bit of an overgrown netbook to me. With the netbook innards, but an 11″ screen, I kind of always wondered why not spend a few more bucks to get a CULV. Acer is now updating the model to the 722 model, and it looks less like an anachronism. Once again [...]

17. April 2011 | by Jonas
The AMD Fusion chips have shaken up the netbook and ultraportable market at least a little bit at this point. Currently, there is the C-30 which is a single core product, and the C-50 which is a dual core product. Perhaps their greatest feature is that they get paired with a dedicated ATI graphics chip [...]

1. April 2011 | by Jonas
One of the keys to making a more portable computing experience is to make it thinner. Following the Acer Timeline formula, MSI is going a step further with their X370. Here are the specs: Single DDR3 slot AMD dual-core E350 processor (1.6GHz, 1MB cache) 320GB/500GB/640GB hard drive AMD Radeon HD 6310 graphics Two USB 2.0 ports Media card reader SRS PC sound 802.11b/g/n [...]
