As you would expect from Asus this is a cheap alternative for anyone wanting to enter the marketplace but without having to fork out too much cash at one time. On the face of it, this is an update of the 1000H, which is fine. What is not fine is the fact that it only has a two cell battery.
The extremely cheap and versatile computer, which comes under the One Laptop Per Child scheme, is to get a new version, the scheme has already provided up to six hundred thousand units to deserving children from all around the world.
eMachines have always been the low-cost alternative. But now with netbooks flooding the market, eMachines needs to step up its game. So, the company is releasing a full sized laptop for less than $400. Is the eMD620 woth it? Let’s see.

Plus, the little thing us pretty ugly, sports low battery life and only has two USB ports.

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.

For those of you who have bought the Lenovo IdeaPad S10, I am sorry that you bought such a bad laptop but here’s some dissected pics if you want to hack it.
When some people get a new computer, the first thing they do is install their favorite applications, tweak the operating system, or even replace Windows with Linux or OS X. Others? They rip it apart to see what’s on the insides. And that’s what Liliputing reader (and co-designer of our logo) Tommy Yoo di
For those of you who want power and versatility of a netbook, we highly suggest the ASUS Eee PC 1000H 80G which is packed yet small enough for any type of travel.
Here’s the full specs on the Eee PC 1000H with 80G harddrive:
V12 Design is working on a new dual-touchscreen laptop within the next 2 years.
V12 Design, an Italian industrial design agency, developed a similar concept four years ago. Valerio Cometti, the founder and managing director of the firm, came up with a dual LCD laptop called the Canova.
The first-generation Canova had a dual-touchscreen form and Cometti told us, “it was developed for creative types, such as artists.” The first-generation model, of which we have a whole slew of image

Looks like guys over at Gizmodo ran into Michael Dell and here’s a first and close-up look at the Dell Mini Inspiron that Dell’s working on.
Although the operating system used on it is unknown, it’s my guess that Dell put a Windows XP or Vista. My hopes are for an XP but knowing Dell, I think they will probably try to stick a Vista in there.

Here’s number one reason I will never buy HP laptops again. (although my last 2 in the last 2 years has been HP)
The reason?
They only provide Windows Vista or Vista 64-bit. Vista is a horrible operating system that is slow and does not work with most of my PC peripherals.
