Deal of the Day: MSI U100
MSI is one of those companies that consistently seems to get a little less attention than some of the bigger players. I will tell you that I’ve seen their products in action, and they are solid, and have longevity. While they look a little plasticky, they can go the distance. An example is the MI [...]

We’re seeing some good deals as we get closer to holiday shopping. I’ve seen netbooks before at this price, but not with the 6 cell battery. This is a fine netbook at a $249 price if you’re willing to have a go at a refurb. Intel Atom N270 1024×576 LED Widescreen 160GB Hard Drive Intel GMA950 Video 802.11g WiFi / [...]

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

Today we have two good netbook deals I’d like to highlight. As we get closer to holiday shopping, we should be finding more bargains. The first is a seriously good deal on a refurbished Asus. For $249, the Asus 1005HA is good deal and features the standard netbook parts of an Intel Atom processor, 160 GB [...]

While netbooks are slowly growing in size, and blurring the lines between a netbook and the ultraportable notebooks, there is also a trend towards even more portable devices. While Sony has gone for the thin approach with their VAIO X, Kohjinsha has downsized their device into something that competes more in the smartphone space than [...]

Today’s deal comes to us from eCost. While it is a refurb, the price is right, and it runs Windows XP from a 16 GB solid state drive. I also want to point out that I’m not sure why they have an icon stating that this device will be eligible for a Windows 7 upgrade. [...]

Today’s deal is on the HP Mini 110 1012NR netbook. It features lots of good features, and is available for $269 at Office Depot. Note that this is not a refurb, but rather a new model. The one downside is that it has the less powerful 3 cell battery, but hey, you’re not likely to [...]

Here is a good deal on an HP Mini refurb. The catch is that the clock is counting down and you’ve only got 35 hours left to grab one. I generally like the HP netbooks for their high quality fit and finish, and at a bargain price, it makes it a really good deal. Here [...]

28. September 2009 | by Jonas
For the last year, the majority of netbooks have come with Windows XP. While it is good to have a standard Windows OS on a portable platform, there is a downside. At least to me, I have to say that I find Windows XP visually about as exciting as vanilla ice cream. While there are [...]
