Ultrabooks- The Details
Folks are less tied to their desktops, and the term “Post PC Era” gets kicked around daily, although everyone is trying to figure out what it really means. Netbooks paved the way to all day battery life, and lightweight computing, and now this is permeating the rest of computing. This time around, they are being dubbed [...]

21. July 2011 | by Jonas
Intel reported some 2nd quarter sales figures, and the good news for them is that overall their profits are 13 billion, up a more than healthy 21% from the same time last year. The bottom line is that most companies would be envious of that to be sure. However, the one sore spot seems to be [...]

Coming from the ‘Down under” of Australia, Acer is coming out with their Aspire One Happy 2 netbook. Yet another example of a netbook name that hardly rolls off the tongue. It is the revamped version of Acer’s bestselling netbook. The Happy 2 is a 10.1″ display netbook, in a 1.3 kg package. There is a [...]

Samsungs’s NC215S offers some serious solar technology, with photovoltaic cells across the lid. It promises to bump the runtime up an hour for every two hours of suntime. For unplugged computing in the desert, this might be the ticket. It was first announced last month, and now Amazon has it up for preorder. Aside from the [...]

For all of Acer’s shortcomings, they do one thing quite well, and that is to undercut the competition. On a personal note, I do own two of their products, and while not the absolute highest quality, they do both get the job done. The AOD257 makes one wonder why should anyone trade Windows for a Chromebook [...]

27. June 2011 | by Jonas
While the concept of the Google Chromebook is intriguing, the initial pricing definitely seemed too high to me. After all, the point of giving up Windows was to bring the price down, and with Windows netbooks for significantly less, the Chromebook makes little sense. Enter the Acer AC700 Chromebook, a second wave of the Chromebook. The [...]

One of the big pluses of netbooks with their smaller displays and efficient processors is that they have better battery life. However, it still is at the limits of a full day of work with real usage. Samsung is looking to boost battery life by adding a photovoltaic collector to the back of the display. The [...]

Intel recently announced a new Atom chip, the N435. While not the bleeding edge of performance, it shapes up to be more of a value proposition. It will debut in the Asus Eee PC X101 and X101H. The clockspeed is power saving 1.33 GHz, with 512 kb of L2 cache. It is a 45 nm part, [...]

31. May 2011 | by Jonas
Even a Windows aficionado has to admit that the MacBook Air is a nice looking piece of hardware. I personally would not part with over a grand to own one, but it does pack some serious power in a thin package. The Intel team has noticed it as well, and is encouraging PC makers to fight [...]
Continue reading...Asus EeePC X101 Netbook
Today, Asus introduced their EeePC X101 netbook. It looks like Asus, amidst slowing netbooks sales, has gotten back to their original formula for what a netbook is, and hit a low price point. The X101 uses a 10″ display putting it in standard netbook territory. However, while there will also be a Windows 7 version for [...]
