Acer Aspire One D250 In Real Use
The Acer Aspire One D250 is a mainstream netbook, with all the standard parts. While it is not exceptional in any area, it has the basics down well, at a price point that most of us are willing to pay for such a device. The specs include the common Intel Atom N270 chip, the 160 [...]

With carriers looking to sign up customers to expensive data plans, throwing a subsidized netbook into the deal is simply good business. Heck, for what they charge for the monthly data, many think the netbook should be free, but these deals are far more advantageous for the carriers.

21. May 2009 | by Jonas
While Apple is working on their overgrown iTouch tablet twist on the netbook, some are taking matters into their own hands. A company in Russia, known as RussianMac, is following the hackintosh formula for creating a netbook. Huh? Isn’t this illegal and violating some terms of agreement of the OS? Well, supposedly they are skirting illegality, [...]

The Toshiba NB200 (known as the Dynabook UX in Japan) is another example of the current crop of netbooks. While the 160 GB hard drive, 1 gig fo RAM, WiFi and Win XP are all fairly standard, the Atom N280 is the less common faster processor. While the battery is a 3 cell unit, it doesn’t [...]

The HP Mini 1000 is a highly portable netbook. While the specs look fairly vanilla on initial view, with the ubiquitous Atom 1.6 GHz chip, and 1 GB of RAM, closer inspection will reveal an important difference. The hard drive used is a 1.8″ model, 60 GB capacity, and while it gives up speed with [...]

9. February 2009 | by Jonas
When I think of Wal-Mart, I have to admit that I don’t think of computers nor electronics. Groceries or housewares, sure, but it wouldn’t be my first choice retailer for a netbook. However, plenty of other consumers have not thought about it this way. While ASUS had the top selling netbook crown wrestled from them, [...]

In the meantime it features a 6 cell battery to go all day, and the Quick Start OS to get underway without delay. It retails for $429. The folks at Laptop Mag [...]
