Motorola reinvents the smartbook with the Atrix 4G webtop
A few years ago Qualcomm tried to convince the world that the future wasn’t netbooks or tablets… it was “smartbooks,” which combined some of the best features of netbooks and smartphones. You’d get a large display and touch-typable keyboard, but also a low power, always-on system with all-day battery life. That never really panned out, […]

Acer has unveiled a new 4G LTE capable tablet which it will show off at the Verizon booth at CES this week.

Hands-on with the Lenovo IdeaPad S100
The IdeaPad S100 is Lenovo’s fourth generation netbook, and to be honest, it’s not all that different from the models that came before it.

Hands-on with the Lenovo IdeaPad S205
The Lenovo IdeaPad S205 is one of the first laptops to sport a shiny new AMD E-350 chip which offers high performance graphics and moderate performance everything else with a total power draw of just about 18W. While I haven’t had a chance to really test the laptop yet, I did get a few minutes […]

First look at Lenovo’s 10 inch Windows 7 tablet
I got a chance to check out the new Windows 7 tablet that Lenovo is showing off this week, and it looks pretty nice. The only problem is it’s not a real product yet. Don’t get me wrong. It has a decent screen, runs Windows nicely, and even gets halfway decent battery life — but […]
