Acer barely mentioned the Revo amidst its armada of cheap machines last night but after seeing what it could do, in a lot of ways, it’s the most interesting because of the performance it promises to bring to cheap computers, especially if Nvidia can get all of the software ducks in a row to ...

Think MacBook Air (those clever guys at SlashGear even grabbed some shots of it next to an Air). More impressive is that even despite its thinness it packs a good amount of ports, including 3 USB, Ethernet, VGA Out and a mic and headphone. It also has a card reader. As for weight, we ...
It’s safe to say we’ve hit the third generation of netbooks. They’re nice now. The HP Mini 5105 strikes at Asus Eee Seashell’s fancily contoured plastic with aluminum and magnesium. Oh yeah, and 95-percent chiclet keyboard that feels fantastic.In a crazy twist, HP has **finally moved the mouse buttons below the trackpad (because only professionals ...

You may have noticed the poll I added to the sidebar of my blog. There’s a number of different survey and poll plugins for WordPress but all the ones I’ve looked at have caveats and …
It’s hardly the first netbook battery comparison to appear in the Thunderdome that is the internet, but this latest thirteen-strong round-up from Australia’s NetbookReview is one of the more comprehensive to emerge as of late, with it only slightly compromised by a few netbooks that aren’t available in the site’s home country. Not surprisingly, the ...

Finally the Lenovo IdeaPad S12 will be available in the US. But local rep told me the S12 may skip Singapore entirely. I hope that’s not the case. But anyway here’s the low down; the 12.1- …
Just barely days after the official announcement of the N280 equipped Acer Aspire One D250, Engadget has already acquired an unit and has posted the first video review.Other than the slightly tweaked N280 Atom processor (1.66Ghz), there are nothing visually different from previous Acer netbooks.

It’s not perfect, but the new HP Mini 110 ($329 as configured) is definitely the company’s best netbook for consumers yet. HP has addressed our biggest complaints with the earlier Mini 100 …
Not to be mistaken with the Vmedia-equipped Aspire One 571, Acer’s Aspire One 751h has just been handled over at GadgetMix. The machine, which rocks a pretty unorthodox setup for a netbook, was said to sport one of the best displays ever put on a netbook, but that lethargic Atom Z520 CPU made the standard ...

Motherhood has definitely turned me into an ‘Auntie’. This really hit home when I was recently approached by a student asking for donation during a flag day. “Auntie, would you like …
Another day, another entrant in the mile-long list of Eee PC netbooks. This one, however, is a curious add. You see, the Eee PC 1000HV originally came to light way back in July of 2008, when no fewer than 23 Eee model names were casually leaked out. Since that day, we’ve heard not a peep ...
