The folks over at Laptop Magazine got their hands on the new Samsung X460 ultra-portable notebook this week. And much to the chagrin of the Engadget crew, Laptop Mag has a hands-on video and some early thoughts on the machine.
It seems the X460 has a lot to offer, an
Miniature laptops have a future. As schools move toward more computer work and WiFi clouds expand, the need for tiny notebooks at affordable prices will only grow. I guess that’s where netbooks like Acer’s Asprie One come in. Weighing in at 2.1 pounds and sporting a small 8.9 inch frame, the Aspire One is a great ultra portable at a ultra-affordable $350. (Or less, depending.)
With a set of solid specs, the Aspire One offers internet usability and basic computing on its Linux opera
Lenovo’s latest update on its U series IdeaPads is another addition to a line of notebooks that is advanced beyond everyday computing. The slightly heavy, at 4.4 lbs., IdeaPad U330 offers a number of Lenovo staples like facial recognition and touch sensitive controls. Taking a cue from Apple, the Ideapad builds on a number of feature popular with Mac users and combines them with some high-end specs that are sure to please the average business or pleasure laptop user.

The folks over at Gizmodo have posted on this interesting and, absolutely illegal, new MacBook Nano. That’s right, it’s not a apple product, but it sure looks like one. I’m sure these won’t be on the market long at all, not if Steve Jobs has anything to say about it.
The MSI U100 MacBook Nano is a lovely little knock off, with a
The Fujitsu LifeBook U820 is probably a dying breed. The handheld PC is really handheld these days. Blackberrys, iPhones and PDAs can all run full operating systems and compete with laptops as on-the-go devices. But for now, Fujitsu is going to keep moving with the handheld PC market.
These days, $1,199 will get you a tablet-style U820 with
Business on the go can get rough sometimes. That’s why it might be important to have a laptop with a rugged case to get the job done on the farm or construction site. That’s where the General Dynamics Itronix GoBook MR-1 comes in.
Built to take a beating with a case out of a sci-fi movie, the MR-1 is a solid business machine, as well. Looking at the specs alone, you see a pretty standard laptop, with a slower 1.2 GHz Intel Core Solo processor and 1 GB of RAM. But in the case of
Well, Dell. What can you do? If you are one of the largest suppliers of PC laptops out there, I suppose you don’t have to offer the best products, as you have a built-in market share and name recognition. I’ve never been a huge Dell fan for this reason, and the new Dell Inspiron Mini 12 laptop does little to regain my faith in the mega-company.

Since Sony started making the VAIO line of laptops in the late ’90s, they have been superior business and play machines. And with the newest laptop offering, the Sony VAIO VGN-Z590, not much has changed as far as superior products go. In terms of specs though, the new Sony VAIO VGN-Z590 has some killer additions.
First and foremost, the Z590 is ultraportable, weighing in at 3.2-pounds. And with such a small frame, reviewers all over the net are blown away by the amount of gadgetry stu
