MaxPC Reviews the HP dm1z
The HP Pavilion dm1z is an example of an AMD Fusion based netbook. It actually has the slightly larger than a netbook 11.6″ display, that many of us think makes it incredibly more useful than the more mainstream 10″ display. Be that as it may, it has some reasonable specs: AMD E350 dual core processor, 1.6 GHz 3 [...]

When discussing the new Samsung 9 Series, I made the statement that there is not much that the Core i3-330UM cannot handle. When I first got my Acer Timeline, which uses this processor, I did run a pile of benchmarks to figure out how good the Core i3 architecture was against some older gear I [...]

22. January 2010 | by Jonas
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 [...]

6. October 2009 | by Jonas
I have generally found any of the netbooks that are subsidized by the carriers to be rather overpriced, and underwhelming. For the $60 a month they charge for the data plan, across a 24 month commitment, these things should be free, with a rebate, and I’d still feel they were getting the better end of [...]

See what makes the Asus Eee PC 1005HA an Editor’s Choice netbook. I’ve spent some hands on time with it myself, and it definitely should be on the short list of most folks shopping for a new netbook. [YouTube]

14. August 2009 | by Jonas
Seriously, I had to do a double take on this headline. Sure, Good Housekeeping may recommend vacuums, or window cleaners, but since when do they know anything about electronics? Is any manufacturer going to put the coveted “Good Housekeepin’ Seal of Approval” on their netbook? We don’t know either, but the following is presented more [...]

25. July 2009 | by Jonas
While the VNB 100 and 101 got announced yesterday, there’s already a first look video of it making the YouTube rounds. I’m intrigued on how the battery is a lithium polymer, and not a lithium ion technology. The benefit? It has the same life (reportedly), and it doesn’t hang out the back for a neat [...]

15. July 2009 | by Jonas
Lenovo has come out with their latest 12″ netbook. Whether or not you think this size is still a netbook, or more of an underpowered notebook, it still is an intriguing entry into the netbook segment. Here’s the scorecard: Intel Atom N270 1.6 GHz processor 12.1″ WXGA (1280×800) TFT, LED backlight 1 GB PC2-5300 160 GB 5400 rpm hard [...]

29. June 2009 | by Jonas
The recently announced Gatewway LT3100 was not only spotted, but it was brought home and played with from a local Best Buy store. Turns out that Best Buy has it as the Gateway L3103u, probably some exclusive variant. The specs are along the lines of the mini-notebook, more than a pure netbook. The hard drive is [...]

26. June 2009 | by Jonas
As if Asus didn’t have enough models already, we are seeing the trend continue again towards larger netbooks, that while not quite full fledged notebooks, are not true netbooks either. The latest example of this phenomena is the Asus Eee PC Seashell 1101A. The standout feature of this model is the 11.6″ display. With the larger [...]
