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.

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 [...]

HP introduced a bunch of new products today, and their HP Mini 210 is their latest netbook. However, while it just got introduced, it seems like last year’s model on Woot. It has the standard 10.1″ display, with 1 GB of RAM and a 250 GB hard drive which all make it clearly a prototypical netbook. [...]

With the addition of Fusion to the netbook space, AMD has finally brought a viable Atom competitor to the space. a sign of that is that Asus is updating some models, and the Fusion is finding its way in.

MSI has announced their latest “Dream Machine,” the Wind U160MX. While most netbooks do not quite conjure up the phrase “Dream machine,” the Wind U160MX does have some unique features, but I leave it to you if anyone will be dreaming about this hardware. Here are the quick specs: 10.1″ LCD display, LED backlit, 1024 x 600 [...]
