Original at Ubergizmo external link    Mon, Nov 16

Shenzen seems to have carved a reputation for coming up with clone hardware, and their latest line of Macbook Air clones will come with a removable battery, a SIM card slot and a memory card reader, making it sound much more delectable than the original. Too bad the innards are netbook-clas...

By Steven Sande In a move sure to rile up the crowds of people (including our very own Erica Sadun) who have converted cheap Intel Atom-powered netbooks into tiny MacBook-like hackintoshes, several sites are reporting that Apple will kill support for the battery-sipping CPU in the next release of Snow...

Rate How To: Hackintosh a Dell Mini 10v Into the Ultimate Snow Leopard Netbook [How To]

Original at Gizmodo external link    Sat, Oct 24

Thumbnail

By John Herrman You've got yourself a fully-functioning, beautifully small Snow Leopard netbook, which'll do 90% of what a 13-inch MacBook can, at 70% the size and about 25% of the cost. Mine's close to perfect: With an extended battery, I'm pushing 7 hours of battery life with Wi-Fi, which makes my MacBo...

Rate Win7 Laptop Battlemodo: Thin and Lights For Under $800

By Joanna Stern Meanwhile, your average Atom netbook can't play a 1080p clip without stuttering, not can it multitask as smoothly. However, no UL system can reach the performance of a Core 2 Duo with discrete graphics. By way of comparison a 15.4 inch Acer Aspire with a 2.0 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor and dis...

Original at Daring Fireball external link    Wed, Oct 21

By John Gruber 18 March 2009, Shane O’Neill at PC World: “Recession Breathes Life Into Windows PCs as Apple Gasps for Air”: Nonetheless, design hubris and slumping sales will cause Apple to tap a hot segment of computer market. So Apple will be forced to enter the “netbook” market due to slumping MacBook...

Original at Engadget external link    Mon, Oct 19

By Joseph L. Flatley Manufacturers the world over have given this one some serious thought, and they've decided that you want something that feels like a MacBook Air, looks (vaguely) like a MacBook Air, and doesn't run OS X. Available come October 22, the iiView A2 features an Intel Atom N270 1.6GHz CPU, 2GB DDR...

Looking for a new netbook/notebook? You might want to wait a short while for Fujitsu’s newly announced P3010 and P3110 notebooks. Boasting an 11.6-inch display and 6.7-hour battery life (which can be pumped to 7.2-hours in eco mode), it’s certainly something for the road warriors to consid...

Rate Nokia Booklet 3G Hands On: Nice Netbook, But How Much? [Nokia Booklet 3g]Video included in this story.  Click to view.

Original at Gizmodo external link    Mon, Oct 12

Thumbnail

By Joanna Stern I've got to say for a company that has never made a computer before the Booklet 3G feels pretty darn good. It is made of the stuff MacBooks are made of. That is, a single piece of aluminum. The palm rest and bottom of the system feel a lot like the unibody Apple lappie and overall I'd say it's as solid....

Rate Sony Vaio X: World's Lightest Laptop $1300 (Actually Affordable, For a Vaio) [Sony]

Original at Gizmodo external link    Wed, Oct 7

Thumbnail

By Joanna Stern Considering that it's cheaper than the MacBook Air or Dell Adamo, and that Sony's netbook was $500, that's pretty skimpy pricing. On the outside, the X is made of some beautiful metal. On the insides we now know it has a 2GHz Intel Atom Z550 processor, a solid state drive and standard Intel gra...

Rate HP Mini 311 with ION benchmarked: it goes very fast

By Nilay Patel We've already seen the NVIDIA ION-based HP Mini 311 perform impressively during demos, but now that the netbook is hitting reviewers it's time for some real benchmarks -- and according to the crew at Laptop, they're more than solid. The 311 scored a 1,917 on the PCMark 05 test, almost 500 po...

Rate MacBook Air lookalike is more netbook-y but only costs $250

Original at CrunchGear external link    Fri, Sep 11

By Doug Aamoth Underneath it all, though, is your basic netbook: Atom N270 CPU, Intel GMA950 graphics, 1GB of RAM, 120GB hard drive, Wi-Fi, and Windows. And let’s just assume that the materials used with this netbook might not be as well-crafted as Apple’s magic aluminum enclosure within which the MacB...

By Joseph L. Flatley If we've learned one thing 'round here, it's that the KIRFsters love taking on Apple. And you know, at first glance this KIRFacious take on the MacBook Air doesn't seem half bad. Of course, check it out in profile and it looks a lot more like your average netbook than it does Cupertino's ultrap...

Rate Review: HP Mini 5101 Netbook Flaunts Minimalist Design, Middling Performance

Original at Wired external link    Fri, Aug 21

Thumbnail

By Brian X. Chen See Also: If looks were all that mattered, HP’s Mini 5101 would’ve been a 10. But alas, bumpy QuickTime video playback and a just-OK battery life knocked the Mini 5101 to a 6 in our ratings. Here’s a snippet from our review: We love the matte, full-sized keyboard — soft on the fingertips, but ju...

Rate Acer Aspire Timeline spotted at an American Wal-Mart

Original at CrunchGear external link    Wed, May 27

Thumbnail

By Matt Burns Just like Doug said, the Timeline is more than a netbook, but more portable than your average notebook. The six cell battery should power this slim notebook for more than eight hours thanks to the Intel ULV SU2700 CPU and LED back-lit screen. Expect to see reviews dropping shortly compari...

Original at Gizmodo external link    Tue, May 26

By Mark Wilson The keyboard is extremely satisfying to use. It's satisfyingly clicky and each key is easy to find with your fingers. A convenient button controls Wi-Fi/Bluetooth combinations to reserve power, while another button turns off the trackpad when not in use.

Original at Engadget external link    Thu, May 14

By Darren Murph For those near and dear to ASUS' Eee PC netbook line, the 1008HA 'Seashell' is definitely a breath of fresh air. It doesn't look like an Eee, it doesn't feel like an Eee and it doesn't boast a replaceable battery like an Eee; needless to say, only two of those three facts were lauded by reviewer...

Rate Opinion: MSI teases large X400, X600 MacBook Air rivals

Both also use Intel's Consumer Ultra Low Voltage (CULV) processors to provide better performance than a netbook but with less cost and battery use (as well as less performance) than the Core 2 Duo S used in Apple's system. Few hard specifications have ...

Rate Opinion: Dell Inspiron Mini 9 Supposedly Better Than The MacBook Pro

Original at Ubergizmo external link    Tue, Jan 27

Thumbnail

In terms of display, at least. Sounds surprising? We admit, it doesn't quite stack up - one is a $300 netbook while the other costs a handsome amount that could get you at least a couple of old jalopies in a used car dealership. Bear in mind this "conclusion" is not based on any scientific study o...

Rate Opinion: Dell Netbook Display Better Than MacBook Pro

Original at Wired external link    Tue, Jan 27

By Charlie Sorrel The shocker is that the Dell Mini 9 beats the unibody 15" MacBook Pro on color accuracy, although on viewing angle it slips back down the league table. It turns out that Galbraith doesn't like the new glossy glass screens Apple has forced upon its two smaller notebooks:
