Hey Gang, I hope you all had a good Thanksgiving, or a nice Thursday if you don’t celebrate the holiday.
I’m back today with a new hack and some laptop news from around the globe.
The hack today is for all you Mac fans out there. This video will teach you how to use the iPhone as a wireless router anywhere you go. A great tip and excellent hack. You need an
With a lot of recent buzz about the addition of 3G to some popular Mini Netbooks, bot the Dell and HP, I thought I’d show you a hack I found a while back on how to add 3G to an Asus Eee PC. It’s actually pretty easy and it gives you even more freedom with one of the best netbooks out there.
Adding 3G can have a lot of benefits, and pretty much every netbook should be thinking about how to access the 3G network. But, as companies are still figuring it out, you can hack you Eee PC to do it right now.
Here’s how:
Sad day! It’s official, Apple has added a new form of copy protection to it’s MacBooks. That means no fun TV nights for most everyone. Sorry gang. Looks like Apple users and copyright advocates are getting up and saying something, more news as that all unfolds.
It seems this w
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
Who knews Epson was in the netbook game. Apparently, they are, and they rolled out the new Endeavor Na01 mini today in Japan. Available for about $484, teh Na01 mini can’t print your photos, but it can display them on a 10.2″ display.
Just what we needed, another netbook.
I won’t get too much into the specifics, as I doubt too many of the LaptopPimp readers are going to rush out to Japan and pick one of these up. But, just in case, here are the specs:

Alexander Wolf wonders why anyone wants a new laptop:
[U]nless you covet a new MacBook, you’re not crossing your fingers in hopes of finding a shiny new notebook computer under the tree. Smartphones, netbooks, and digital SLRs, definitely. But laptops? Yawn!
Dan Costa wonders if Netbooks are the new notebooks:
But can the netbook replace the notebook?
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
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
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:
Here’s another netbook from Mouse Computer. I haven’t heard of Mouse Computer before, I think it’s a Japanese company that sells laptops only in Japan. Anyways, it looks like a carbon-copy of the ASUS Eee PC.
Mouse Computer just informed us of the October release of their new Netbook. The G1000 will feature 10.2-Inch LCD screen with WSVGA resolution (1024×600), an Intel Atom N270 (1.6GHz), 1GB of RAM, 160GB of SATA HDD, multi card reader (SD / Memorystick / MemoryStick Pro / Multimedia Card), Wi-Fi b/g, three USB ports,
