Coby NBPC722
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 [...]

12. February 2010 | by Jonas
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 [...]

13. November 2009 | by Jonas
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 [...]

1. November 2009 | by Jonas
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 [...]

The Nvidia Tegra processor promises to offer much on a netbooking platform. The ARM based chip will offer a good blend of processing power, particularly on video, and still retain excellent battery life. So far, the Tegra has only made it into the latest ZuneHD, but it has been received well there. Nvidia has [...]

21. September 2009 | by Jonas
Thinnest netbook that is. Shenzhen manufacturer Zichuang Technology states their new CZC C9 is the world’s thinnest netbook, and quote that it is a mere 0.5 cm thick. While it is that thick in the front, unfortunately, this is the minimal thickness, and most of it is thicker than that. Be that as it may, [...]

6. September 2009 | by Jonas
With netbooks all looking like they were made with a cookie cutter, and Apple dragging their heels on a tablet, it makes sense for a company like Toshiba to work on their own tablet device. Despite the obvious shortcoming of no keyboard, the advantage of portability could finally win out now powerful enough hardware could [...]
