Asus shoots for 44% Eee PC sales growth in 2009
Asus is hoping to increase its notebook sales by 10% next year, and its netbook division has a huge part to play in that goal. Asus expects to ship 44% more Eee PC netbooks in 2009 than in 2008, which would mean shipping 7.2 million netbooks. On the one hand, I suspect 2009 will be […]
Spare battery charger for Eee PC 701, 900
In order to charge most netbook batteries you have to make sure they’re inserted firmly in your computer and that the laptop is plugged into a wall socket. So if you have a spare battery, there’s no way to charge it up while you’re out and about using your netbook — unless you buy a […]
MSI Wind U100 with 6 cell battery for $385
Online retailer Buy.com is running a deal that will let you snag an MSI Wind U100 netbook with a 160GB hard drive, 1GB of RAM and a 6 cell battery for $384.95 after rebate. That’s well below the list price, and about $40 cheaper than I’ve seen this model anywhere else this week.
Not all extended batteries are created equal
We’ve already seen plenty of extended batteries for the Asus Eee PC and other netbooks. These batteries are designed to provide as much as 2-3 times the battery life you’d get from the standard batteries that ship with these computers. But they also tend to be really large, adding substantial weight to these tiny laptops […]

Netbook docking kit adds USB ports, HDD, fan
Wish your netbook had a few extra USB ports, a larger hard drive, and weighed a bit more? Well, you’re in luck. A Japanese company is selling a netbook docking kit that adds a few USB ports, a slot for a  2.5″ hard drive or optical disc drive, and a fan for a little extra […]
Eee PC System Shrinker helps free up storage space
While many netbooks on the market today have large 80GB, 120GB, or even 160GB hard drives, many inexpensive mini-laptops use solid state disks with capacities of 20GB or less. While SSDs offer some advantages over hard disks (for example, they’re smaller and sturdier), they’re also more expensive at the moment, which means you’d have to […]
