Eee PC 701 with a multitouch display – Video

We’re starting to see netbook makers including Asus and Gigabyte produce mini-laptops with touchscreen displays. But one thing we haven’t really seen yet is netbooks with multitouch displays.

Linpus Linux Lite does quick boot – Video

First look at the Clevo M810L netbook

As expected, Clevo introduced a few netbooks at CeBIT. Eee PC.de and The Inquirer both have some details about the company’s new M810L mini-laptop. The image above is taken from the Inquirer, because I think it does a better job of showing the netbook’s unusually boxy configuration. Spec-wise, the Clevo M810L is pretty standard fare. It has a 1.6GHz intel…

How does the MSi X340 notebook stack up? (literally)

Look, I know MSI’x new X320 and X340 notebooks are too big to be considered netbooks, what with their 13.4 inch and larger displays. But they’re super-thin and oh so pretty. So when NewGadgets.de snapped a few photos of a huge stack of MSI X-series notebooks at CeBIT, I couldn’t resist the urge to repost one here. By my count,…
