Smartbooks Still To Make Their Appearance
While the definition of a smartbook varies sometimes, they were first talked about last year. The vision was of a non-Windows, non-Atom based portable computing device. The goal was that it would run a Linux operating system off an ARM processor. These devices would have long runtimes, and offer cloud computing. The one wrinkle is here [...]

Many are frustrated at the rate of innovation of the Intel Atom processor. With AMD focusing on other aspects of the processor market, Intel is content to (once again) play the role of the sleeping giant, and not release any faster netbook parts. Samsung is looking to exploit this opportunity. They are putting their efforts into [...]

Amidst the roadmaps, Dell is hinting that they will be releasing a new netbook. It is codenamed Athens, and is in their XL category, which is larger than the smartphones they have in the pipeline. It is rumored to have an 11″ display, and an ARM processor. The operating system will be Android, and they [...]

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 [...]
Continue reading...Compaq Airlife 100
With the cookie cuter sameness of netbooks, when something, make that anything, comes out that doesn’t run Windows XP, or Starter Edition, powered by an Atom N270 (or more recently N450), it definitely makes a splash and gets us to pay attention. The Compaq Airlife 100 does break the usual mold. The 10″ LCD display, and [...]

Remember when netbooks were small, portable devices that were cheap? Somewhere along the way they morphed into ultraportable notebooks. Pioneer is making a device that gets back to the roots of what a netbook should be. Here are some specs: Samsung ARM 533 MHz processor 7″ display, 800 x 480 Windows CE OS 5.0 128 mb RAM 2 GB storage WiFi [...]

Several years ago, there was talk of when computers would reach the $100 mark. At that price, I know I would stock up, and definitely bring it out quite often with reckless abandon. At that price, the concern of breaking it would be quite low. Well, MenQ with their E790 is claiming an $80 price point. [...]

I didn’t even realize that Qualcomm was still in business as their cellphones have long since disappeared from most carriers offerings here in the States. There are rumors that Qualcomm will be introducing a smartbook tomorrow. This is notable because this new class of device should shift netbooks back to their origins. For a while now, [...]

Lest we think that Office Max has the only Black Friday netbook for sale, Kmart has a really low price on a netbook of some sort. For those that buy only on price, the item will be a new low of a mere $120 for the netbook. It is notable in my mind that we [...]

I can’t say I’ve heard of this Visual Land company before, but this might be the netbook to give your in-laws for this holiday season. If you want dirt cheap over quality, than this is the way to go. When they start selling netbooks in the supermarket, next to the candy in the checkout aisle [...]
