[/caption] The Dell Inspiron Mini 10 is already one of the most customizable netbooks on the market. It comes with options including a built in TV tuner, GPS receiver, and HD 1366 x 768 pixel display. Now Dell is offering customers the choice of configuring the netbook with 2GB of RAM. Of course, it doesn't qualify for a low cost...

Acer planning a Windows Vista netbook?

Brad Linder — Fri, 05 Dec 2008 13:39:44 +0000

Last week we found out that Acer is planning to build a netbook with a 10.2 inch display. Right now you can only pick up an Acer Aspire One with an 8.9 inch screen, but that hasn't stopped the Aspire One from becoming one of the most successful netbooks around. Now TG Daily reports there will be something else different...

Dell Inspiron Mini 12: Better with Windows XP

Brad Linder — Tue, 25 Nov 2008 22:27:11 +0000

When Laptop Magazine reviewed the Dell Inspiron Mini 12 a few weeks ago, the magazine concluded that the hardware was decent, but that the system performance was substandard thanks in large part to Windows Vista operating system that Dell slapped on the cheap subnotebook (I'm going to refrain from calling a 12 inch notebook a netbook). It's worth noting that...

Windows 7 on a netbook: Eee PC 1000H

Brad Linder — Fri, 31 Oct 2008 13:12:54 +0000

As expected, Windows 7 seems to run fairly well on a netbook. Sure, we've already seen the boot screen on an MSI Wind. But Laptop Magazine's Joanna Stern took a pre-beta build of the next generation Windows operating system and slapped it on an Eee PC 1000H and spent a whole day playing with it. And nothing exploded. So that's...

Vista on the Wind a Breath of Fresh Air?

Lee — Mon, 29 Sep 2008 12:35:16 +0000

After giving my MSI Wind a good workout with Windows XP for a month, I started to get listless. It was running beautifully, but I just couldn't help wondering how it would handle a fancy, new OS like Vista. Now, I'm no dope. Step one in my process was swapping out my original 80GB drive for a 160GB that I'd...

Triple Boot: Windows Vista, XP, and OS X on the MSI Wind

Brad Linder — Mon, 01 Sep 2008 10:58:12 +0000

Running OS X Leopard on an MSI Wind is old hat. But triple booting OS X, Windows XP and Vista? That's something I hadn't seen before. So here's a video from seamonkey showing all three operating systems living side by side: It's worth keeping in mind that this is an upgraded unit with a 250GB hard drive and a voided...

Windows Vista Home Premium on the Eee PC 900 – VIDEO

Brad Linder — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 18:03:34 +0000

Windows Vista gets a lot of flack for its heavy hardware requirements. But it turns out you can run Windows Vista Home Premium reasonably well on some underpowered hardware. The video above shows the operating system running on an Eee PC 900 with a 900MHz Celeron processor, 1GB of RAM, and 20GB of solid state memory. The computer certainly takes...

SanDisk: Windows Vista and SSD are like peanut butter and broccoli

Brad Linder — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 15:25:45 +0000

Solid state disks are kind of the next big thing, right? They have no moving parts, like hard drives, and are both more durable and offer potentially faster read and write speeds than hard drives. Sure, they're far more expensive at the moment, but prices are coming down. And as Asus, Acer, and others have shown, if you're marketing a...

MSI Wind runs faster, longer with Vista than XP?

Brad Linder — Fri, 18 Jul 2008 15:01:00 +0000

We already knew that it was possible to install Windows Vista on an MSI Wind. But why would anyone choose to load an operating system that takes up significantly more system resources on a tiny laptop with a relatively low powered CPU? Because you might just get more battery life and a more responsive PC, that's why. While Trusted Reviews...

Eee PC 901 running Windows Vista

Brad Linder — Tue, 15 Jul 2008 19:02:00 +0000

We've already seen the MSI Wind and the Eee PC 1000H running Windows Vista. So it should come as no surprise that the Eee PC 901 is capable of running Microsoft's latest and most resource-intensive consumer operating system. But it's still nice to see it in action. Jkkmobile installed Vista on his Eee PC 901, using the drivers available at...

How to install Windows Vista on an MSI Wind

Brad Linder — Mon, 14 Jul 2008 21:04:00 +0000

Trusted Reviews has a handy tutorial for any masochists looking to install Windows Vista on an MSI Wind. The laptop is designed to run Windows XP or Linux, but with 1GB of RAM and a 1.6GHz Intel Atom CPU it's (just barely) capable of running Vista.The easiest way to install Vista is with a USB DVD drive, since the MSI...

Windows Vista on the Eee PC 1000H

Brad Linder — Sat, 14 Jun 2008 15:24:00 +0000

The folks at TweakTown didn't waste much time replacing the Chinese version of Windows XP on their shiny new Eee PC 1000H. Shortly after unboxing the computer, TweakTown installed Windows Vista Ultimate, and the process seems surprisingly easy. Overall, it takes about 30 minutes to install Windows Vista, and after a fresh install, you get a Windows Vista performance score...

Not only will the Gigabyte M912 feature a swiveling tablet-style touch screen, but Engadget Chinese reports that it also runs Windows Vista instead of Windows XP.The decision to use Vista is apparently due to the inclusion of the touchscreen....
