At CES, there was one Windows tablet that got quite a bit of attention- the HP Slate. This device is the antithesis of the iPad as it is a full featured device, complete with a full OS, and full processor. On top of that, it can run flash, and do anything that any other Windows [...]

This is a short video of the ExoPC doing its tablet thing caught on video. I like the speed that I am seeing, and how easy it looks for this thing to control. On top of that, notice how they keep showing this on the side, and the USB ports being exposed. [...]

The latest tablet spotted is from ExoPC. This tablet is expected to be available in March, at the $499 price point that seems to [...]

There has been a whole flurry of new netbooks in the last month. Acer is generally known for their more affordable gear, and their new model that uses the latest Atom N450 chip is the Aspire One 532h. I have to admit that with a price tag of $299, sometimes it almost seems a little [...]

If you’ve been wondering how the boot times compare on venerable Windows XP compared to Windows 7, wonder no more. While Win 7 does start up quicker than Vista, it still is no speed champ to startup. Seeing the two laptops load their OS’ side by side gives a revealing look into how efficient Windows [...]

Following up on the post that I wrote the other day about the eviGroup Pad tablet style PC, we now have a nice hands-on video with that device. The hands on comes courtesy of nowhereelse.fr who have also given the news that the Pad is available for sale. Overall, the device looks really nice in the [...]

When the UL30A was announced, we called it out as being a nice piece of hardware, but not likely to fly for $800. Thankfully, Asus has also introduced their UL20A. I find the specs more netbook like, and the price more consumer friendly. I characterize the UL20A as netbook like due to its larger 12.1″ display. [...]
