Packard Bell bandwagon-it-up with the Dot Netbook
Gosh – there’s lazy and then there’s this. Packard Bell are about to bring out a netbook. You can probably count on one hand the number of companies who *haven’t* brought one out lately. This modele, however, is almost identical to the Acer Aspire One A150X. Acer own Packard Bell. Sigh. They’ve just rebadged it…
Samsung floats into the netbook party with the NC10
Anyone had enough netbooks yet? No, me either. Samsung have joined the party with the NC10 – it is a netbook, but only just. It looks like it’s targeted more at people who are a bit nervous of the full-on netbook experience, or want a bit more from their netbook…
Toshiba launches its first netbook – the NB100
You can’t move around here for netbook releases. Lately we’ve had models from Dell, Medion, LG and Emtec, among others. Toshiba, however, aren’t daunted and is leaping in to the fray with the NB100. The NB stands for “netbook”, I would imagine, and the “100” presumably because it’s about the hundredth netbook released in the last month.
Emtec Gdium Liberty 1000 – a netbook with an OS on a stick
Emtec themselves admit there’s a bit of a netbook craze at the moment in PC land (not a principality of PC World) but then, who really cares? We like these things. Well, most of us do anyway and how can it not benefit the consumer to have more choice and more competition among the manufacturers?
Anyway, that’s besides the point because the 10″ Emtec Gdium offers a twist on standard sub-notebookery with the use of that fat looking USB device at the front, known as the G-Key…
Dell launches Inspiron Mini 9 netbook in the UK
Dell has finally launched its long-awaited Inspiron Mini 9 netbook, featuring an 1.6GHz Intel Atom processor and Integrated Graphics Media Accelerator 950…
Whoever owns the Commodore brand is getting in on the Netbook scene, with the UMMD 8010/F
Honestly, my dad’s got a Netbook coming out this Autumn. He’s pitching it against my mum’s, which is simply a lower-spec version of the one my sister put out last year.
The point is, everyone’s releasing bloody mega-portable Eee PC-alikes these days – even companies we all thought had long since stopped existing. Like Commodore here, with its all-new UMMD 8010/F, a netbook featuring pretty much what we’ve come to expect from one of these new wave mini laptops. Brace yourselves, the technical specifications paragraph is coming up next…
Dell Inspiron 910 / Mini Note / E / Eee competitor full specs released
This one’s been bubbling under for a while – ever since Michael Dell was spotting carrying a tiny red notebook under his arm at All Things D. The name has changed several times, and we’ve been adding pencils to all the pictures of notebooks we can, but now it’s called the Inspiron 910. Until the next time we post about it, anyway…
Maplin launches lightweight seven-inch Minibook
Maplin has entered the tiny notebook PC market, announcing its Minibook PC with a seven inch TFT widescreen and weighing in at 650 grams.
It runs Linux, has three USB 2.0 ports, stereo speakers and microphone, mouse pad, Xip Office software, SDHC reader, Ethernet, 2GB SSD storage, a “multi-theme display” for use by kids or adults (I’ve no idea), but only 128MB of memory…
Asus announce "brown" Eee PC
Another day, another new ultra-portable laptop from Asus, and another one of the 23 secret Eee models revealed. Today’s is one of the most high-end – the S101 which has been described as an “Ultimate” Eee PC.
It’s pretty high-end stuff for an Asus so there’s suggestions that it won’t actually carry the Eee PC branding as obviously ‘Eee’ makes one think of cheap netbooks and, er, monitors and not high-end luxury…
Lenovo announces Ideapad S10 netbook
As it seems every PC manufacturer has to create a small computer to compete with Asus’ Eee PC, Lenovo has announced it is to launch the Ideapad S10 netbook.
Initial specs suggest it will sport a 10 inch backlit LED screen, 1.6GHz Intel Atom N270 processor, Windows XP, 512MB or 1GB of RAM, and 80GB or 160GB hard drive. A Linux version could be made available to non-US markets…
