Toshiba is done with netbooks (in the US)

Brad Linder — Thu, 24 May 2012 23:50:08 +0000

Earlier this year Toshiba introduced its first netbook with an Intel Atom N2600 Cedar Trail processor. But if you've been waiting to get your hands on the Toshiba NB510 in the US... you're going to be waiting a long time. A Toshiba executive just confirmed to me that Toshiba America has no plans to offer any new netbooks in the...

More fanless netbooks could be on the way

Brad Linder — Fri, 18 May 2012 15:26:22 +0000

Netbooks are small, inexpensive computers that tend to have low power processors. But Intel's latest chips designed for netbooks use even less power than their predecessors, while offering modest performance gains. Among other things, this can allow PC makers to build netbooks that run at low temperatures -- so there's no need for a fan in the case. That means...

10 inch netbook with Allwinner A10 CPU, Android 4.0 hits China

Brad Linder — Thu, 17 May 2012 18:00:23 +0000

We've seen plenty of Android tablets with an Allwinner A10 ARM Cortex-A8 processor. But the folks at Shanzhaiben just spotted one of the first Android netbooks powered by an A10 chip. The computer features a 10.1 inch, 1024 x 600 pixel display, a 1.1 GHz processor, 512MB of RAM, and 4GB of storage. It runs Google Android 4.0 and supports HD...

Samsung NC110 netbook gets a Cedar Trail update… but not in the US

Brad Linder — Fri, 20 Apr 2012 17:54:46 +0000

The Samsung NC110 is a netbook with a 10 inch, 1024 x 600 pixel display and Windows 7 operating system. Last year I reviewed a model with an Intel Atom N455 single core processor and was reasonably impressed with the value it offered as an entry-level netbook. Now Samsung is offering a model with a more powerful Atom N2600 dual core...

Novero Solana $799 tablet/netbook hybrid hits the FCC

Brad Linder — Wed, 04 Apr 2012 21:00:05 +0000

At first glance the Novero Solana looks like a netbook with a slightly larger bezel around the display than you'll find on most 10 inch mini-laptops. But that's because the screen rests inside that bezel, and you can twist it around 180 degrees and close the laptop to use it as a tablet with the screen facing outward. Novero plans to...

Acamar Transfomer Windows netbook converts into a tablet

Brad Linder — Wed, 21 Mar 2012 18:09:00 +0000

Convertible tablet-style netbooks aren't exactly new, but I came across an unusual model form Chinese company Acamar today. There are two things that set the Acamar Transformer apart from other convertibles. For one thing, it has an 8.9 inch display. For another, it has an unusual design which allows you tilt back the screen before closing the lid in order...

Asus Eee PC 1025C Cedar Trail netbook now available for $300

Brad Linder — Mon, 12 Mar 2012 20:08:36 +0000

The second Cedar Trail netbook from Asus is now available for purchase in the US. On paper the new Eee PC 1025C looks a lot like the Eee PC X101CH I reviewed recently. But for a few extra dollars you get a few bonus features. Amazon is selling the Eee PC 1025C for $299.99. Like the Eee PC X101CH, the...

Asus Eee PC X101CH netbook teardown

Brad Linder — Mon, 12 Mar 2012 13:15:09 +0000

The Asus Eee PC X101CH is probably one of the best new netbooks you can buy for $270 thanks to a Cedar Trail processor, fanless design, decent build quality and instant-on software. But the netbook has a few drawbacks for power users. For instance, it's nearly impossible to upgrade the RAM. The Intel Atom N2600 processor used in the Eee...

Asus Eee PC X101CH – first look

Brad Linder — Wed, 07 Mar 2012 15:18:44 +0000

The Asus Eee PC X101CH is one of the first netbooks to ship in the United States with an Intel Atom N2600 Cedar Trail processor. With a starting price of around $270, it's also one of the cheapest 10 inch netbooks available. But this might be a case of you-get-better-than-you-pay-for. Asus loaned me an Eee PC X101CH for review purposes....

Brad Linder — Fri, 02 Mar 2012 14:33:12 +0000

The Novero Solana is a tablet and a netbook that runs Windows and Android. As portable computers go, it's a jack of at least a few trades -- but that versatility doesn't come cheap. The Solana is expected to go on sale in the US soon for $799. It will run €699 in Europe. That's how much Engadget reports the Solana...

Netbook Navigator Nav13X is a netbook in an ultrabook body

Brad Linder — Thu, 01 Mar 2012 17:45:09 +0000

Netbook Navigator has a habit of putting out products that don't seem to fit the company's branding. The first few Netbook Navigator computers were tablets, not netbooks. Now the company is introducing a 13.3 inch laptop it's calling an ultrabook -- even though Intel has trademarked the term to describe something a bit different. The Netbook Navigator Nav13X certainly looks like an...

Asus Eee PC 1011CX packs this year’s chipset in last year’s netbook

Brad Linder — Thu, 01 Mar 2012 15:09:38 +0000

When Asus rolled out its new line of netbooks in January, the company didn't just introduce its first mini-laptops with Intel Atom Cedar Trail processors. The company also unveiled a new product design for its Eee PC laptops that drops the old "seashell" case design and replaces it with a "flare" design. But the company is also updating some of...
