Motorola XOOM 4G upgrade coming… in September

Brad Linder — Tue, 26 Jul 2011 19:22:45 +0000

Motorola managed to launch the first tablet to run Google Android 3.0 Honeycomb way back in February... but the company won't be offering the finishing touch for another few months. When the Motorola XOOM shipped there were two things missing: a working SDHC card slot, and a 4G LTE radio. While the tablet had a space for a microSDHC card,...

Motorola posts instructions for upgrading the XOOM to 4G

Brad Linder — Mon, 28 Feb 2011 19:00:22 +0000

The Motorola XOOM Android tablet is now shipping with a 3G modem, but Motorola is offering to upgrade the tablet for free by adding a 4G LTE modem when available. You'll need to send your tablet to Motorola to get the upgrade though, and now Verizon has posted details on how the process will work. Basically, Verizon recommends backing up...

PhotoFast halts sale of MacBook Air SSD upgrades

Brad Linder — Tue, 30 Nov 2010 14:27:43 +0000

Last month a company called PhotoFast started offering the first storage upgrade kits for Apple's new MacBook Air models. The SSDs were designed to fit the MacBook Air, and offered customers who purchased the cheaper 11.6 inch laptop the opportunity to install a 256GB disk. Apple only offers that model with 64GB or 128GB options. Now it looks like PhotoFast...

PhotoFast offers SSD upgrades for the new MacBook Air

Brad Linder — Wed, 27 Oct 2010 15:57:48 +0000

Sure, the recently launched MacBook Air mini-laptop from Apple has a super fast solid state disk which is smaller, lighter, and faster than a typical hard drive, helping the computer boot OS X in just 15 seconds and resume from sleep pretty much instantly. But wouldn't it be ncie if it were, I don't know, say... 30% faster? A company...

Asus releases Windows 7 upgrade guide for Eee PC 1000H

Brad Linder — Sat, 14 Nov 2009 17:20:24 +0000

The Asus Eee PC 1000H was one of the company's first 10 inch netbooks. I picked one up in August, 2008 and I'm still using it. The Eee PC 1000H may not be as thin or light as some newer netbooks, and it doesn't get quite as much battery life as newer Asus models. But you know what? It still...

PC Corner promises dual core CPU upgrades for netbooks

Brad Linder — Sat, 08 Nov 2008 14:46:43 +0000

The other day a Microsoft employee giving a presentation at WinHEC accidentally suggested that the Asus Eee PC S101 has a dual core Intel Atom processor. But the truth of the matter is that while Intel has developed a dual core version of the Atom chip, it's meant for desktops or larger laptops. Not netbooks. The dual core Atom 330...

Asus Eee PC S101: Thinner, harder to upgrade

Brad Linder — Mon, 27 Oct 2008 15:32:51 +0000

The Asus Eee PC S101 may be super thin compared to earlier Eee PC models. But it's also super hard to upgrade (at least when compared with most earlier Eee PCs). Laptop Magazine pried off the access panel of their review unit and saw a RAM access slot. And that's about it. If you want to replace the solid state...

Upgrading the HP Mini-Note’s RAM and hard drive

Brad Linder — Tue, 10 Jun 2008 20:25:00 +0000

While the netbook market is about to get a lot more crowded, the HP Mini-Note remains one of the most attractive looking low-cost mini-notebooks. It's got a slick, professional design that makes the Asus Eee PC look a bit like a kid's toy. But it also has a sluggish VIA C7-M CPU, compared with the Intel Celeron chip in most...

Upgrading the Mini-Note hard drive

Brad Linder — Sat, 10 May 2008 00:53:00 +0000

You can pick up an HP Mini-Note with a 1.2GHz processor and 120GB hard drive for just $50 more than the 1.0GHZ/4GB SSD version. But if you buy the lower end model and then later decide you want a higher capacity hard drive, it's pretty easy to upgrade. HP Mini Note PC has step by step instructions, and a few...

How to upgrade RAM on an HP Mini-Note

Brad Linder — Tue, 29 Apr 2008 04:48:00 +0000

Windows XP runs great on my Mini-Note. My only major complaint is that the 1280 x 768 screen is so sharp that I'm having a hard time reading some content. I've been toying with the idea of replacing Firefox with Opera for my portable browsing needs, since not only does Opera have a full page zoom feature (as opposed to...
