A new OS is always exciting, and Good OS has announced a new browser-based OS for netbooks called gOS Cloud. Basically a browser with an integrated OSX-like dock for launching web apps, this could be the first step toward the all online OS.
Netbooks will be around at least for a while, thanks to huge numbers on Cyber Monday. PC World is reporting that the mini-notebooks are selling
Dell today launched the Dell Design Studio for its Studio line of notebooks. The online app allows users to customize their Studio 15 or Studio 17 laptop by choosing from some 58 different options, including case design.

All the U.K. readers out there can get excited about the Asus G71, which is being touted as one of the bast gaming laptops out there.

Size:
My first impression—and one that’s endured—is that the 1000HA is small. Smaller, in fact, than any laptop I’ve ever owned.

Woooh! Slow down and make sure you think about the huge ramifications of a program like Fujitsu-Siemens’ new LifeBook4Life deal.
So, here’s how it works. You buy a Lifebook. Then, you pay a $60 fee and register your new laptop with Fujitsu Siemens. Then, after three years, you mail in your old Lifebook and the company sends you a new one. Just like that.
That’s a lifelong laptop supply for the price of one.
