The long term legal case over the term “NetBook” continues with Intel coming out and basically calling Psion liars over the amount of netbooks that the Psion claim to have sold since 2003. Psion have written to the likes of Dell and Intel stating that the name netbook is owned by Psion and has been for a long time. However, as Psion no longer make or sell hardware both Dell and Intel dispute the ownership. Nevertheless, Psion have come back with the answer that they do still sell hard ware, which in this case is the Psion Netbook through websites and direct sales. It is these figures that Dell and Intel are disputing; of course, what they really want is the name netbook to use for themselves.

Review of Kohjinsha netbooks for kids

David Allen — Mon, 09 Feb 2009 12:00:58 +0000

Kohjinsha are more commonly known for being involved in the convertible tablet sector of the market, rather than that of the net book market and judging by the colour of this machine you can tell why. The result of a partnership with games company Bandai, producing the Gachapin and Mukku netbooks that are designed with children in mind.

Today’s LaptopPimp Netbook Review – The Samsung NC10-14GB!

Laptop Pimp — Fri, 06 Feb 2009 02:11:02 +0000

For today’s choice of netbook review worth getting and worth your time, we are going to be recommending the most expensive “blue” Samsung NC10-14GB from Amazon. For all its worth, Samsung has been making laptops for longer than anyone else including both Acer and Aspire. In the past, Samsung has stopped selling their top-of-the-line laptops in America, due to the fact that the market here has fierce competition and the laptops were made, localized to South Koreans, not Americans. Anyways, they are getting back in the U.S. market with these new, sleek netbooks and I am sure you can bet your money on their brand. My dad used to get these netbooks way before they came out in America like 5 years back, I don’t think this is new stuff for Samsung. What I like most about this laptop is the fact that it only weight 2.9 pounds, Windows XP, large 160GB harddrive, and all the network connections. The price might come a little more pricey over other netbooks but I think this laptop will perform to your standards. Get it here on Amazon and SAVE. 10.2″ Wide, 1024 x 600 WSVGA , 220 nits Intel Atom processor N270, 1.6 … Continue reading →

HP Mini 1000 6 Cell Battery

David Allen — Thu, 29 Jan 2009 15:00:45 +0000

Finally HP have come up with a 6 Cell Battery for the Mini 1000, but some people are going to be slight fed up with it as it carries a price tag of $153.90, which by anyone’s standards is quite steep when you consider that the starting price of the original laptop is around $350. However, these batteries are expensive no matter where you go or which brand of laptop you are buying. The problem for buyers of these netbooks is that they are sold as being portable and therefore a battery with some power behind it in order for the user to make use of its portability.

Dell to go slim line

David Allen — Mon, 19 Jan 2009 13:00:45 +0000

In order for computer maker Dell to regain the top spot of being number one in the computer industry they cannot avoid going slim any longer. The laptop market is no longer the same as it was this is because it is fragmenting into different sectors such as netbooks and hand helds. Dell are reported to be working on a slimmed down version of their range of laptops, this would help them claw back some of the lost ground in theory, although Acer have Dell in their sites too. Have Dell left it too late to fight back?

This is ideal for laptops as a USB port is always going to be an essential piece of kit; this is the port of ports too. It is a wheel hub that transfers data at a rate of up to 480 Mbps. This is very important for the owners of newer laptops, small netbooks as these tend to have only one or two USB ports, and even then, they are in awkward places, which make it difficult to use a lot of the equipment that uses these ports today.

Big netbook rumors – AMD to compete

Cyber Monday might have given all the laptop chip-makers all the proof they needed that netbooks are the next big trend, and if sales keep moving up like they are, netbooks might be the new laptop. cNet is reporting that AMD and a number of other internal parts makers will be entering the netbook market next year. This is a huge change for AMD, who recently aid they would be staying away from netbooks. However, AMD has said they will be looking to on-up Intel’s 10″ netbook market with a larger 12,13 and 14-inch line of netbooks carrying its processors. Interesting that a chip maker is making such an impact on market design.

HP Mini 1000 Vivienne Tam Edition Review and Specs

A few days back, the Laptop Pimp took a look at the HP Mini 1000 and he was pretty interested in the little netbook from HP. But, will the Vivienne Tam Edition of the Mini 1000 make the cut? Let’s find out. When it comes down to Specs, you are looking at the exact same computer as the normal Mini 100. The $150 price difference between the two machines is a matter of the case. This makes sense, seeing that Tam is a fashion designer, and this edition of the Mini has a beautiful red case with a flower detail. But the Pimp wants to know something. Do people buy it? Is a case worth $150? I mean, the Mini is a slick looking computer to begin with, and the red case is wonderful. But I’m not sure it’s worth the cash. If you are spending money on a netbook, you want a simple computer at a good price. The HP Mini’s $400 price point is perfect, offering a great XP-based system for a price far lower than a number of other netbooks. But, the Tam edition just adds cost for a product you want to be inexpensive to begin … Continue reading →

Acer Aspire One Review and Specs

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 operating system. Unfortunately, such a small system comes with some setbacks, including a smaller typing space. Also, the Linux system makes it hard to install new apps. However, despite some of the technical and design drawbacks, both PC Magazine and Laptop Magazine have said good things about the cheap, little Acer. Check out the specs, taking in mind, you get what you pay for: Operating System: Linpus Linux Lite Processor: Intel Atom N270 Processor Speed: 1.6 GHz RAM: 512 MB Weight: 2.1 lbs Display Size: 8.6 inches Graphics: Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950 Storage Capacity: 8 GB Networking Options: 802.11 a/g Primary Optical Drive: External Check out more about the Aspire One at Acer’s website. a 8.9" … Continue reading →

Windows 7 Notebook Review

Laptop Pimp — Tue, 28 Oct 2008 23:42:23 +0000

My favorite laptop magazine, LaptopMag.com has a great hands-on review of Windows 7 on a Laptop: While our operating system is described as a pre-beta, everything seems very solid. We used the system for hours without a crash or a blue screen of death in sight. We didn’t install many apps, but those we did—Adobe Reader, Firefox, CamStudio, and GIMP—all ran flawlessly. If this is the pre-beta, we can’t wait to see the beta. I think Windows 7 is actually geared towards laptops and netbooks with less memory power. This is great news for all you laptop whores, as we will finally have the “lean and mean” version of Windows Vista.

HP has “hinted” consumers about their new HP Mini 1000, supposedly 2.25lbs and less than 1″ thin, rivaling other great netbooks. Although there’s no full specs on this little beast yet, the following is for sure: Starting price of $399 Weight begins at 2.25 pounds, which is a little less than the HP Mini-note Under 1-inch in thickness Like the Acer Aspire One, the left and right mouse betters truly are left and right… of the trackpad. The large screen bezel of the 8.9-inch Mini-note is gone; we’re guessing a 10-inch display What do we think? It looks pretty good for $399.99, much better than HP 2133 Mini-note. I’d keep refreshing HP’s e-store until you can order one.
