MSI Wind Second Generation Goes on Sale

wind120

MSI’s updated and prettified, Wind Netbook is finally available to buy. It has the usual 1.6 GHz Intel Atom processor, a GB of RAM, a 160 GB hard drive, Bluetooth 2.0 and Wi-Fi expansion to n-speeds.

In fact, the only difference is the case design – that is brighter, has sharper edges and is generally grown to look more than the original U110. Also ships as standard with the longer duration of six cells, at least for a very portable machine. And even MSI has a MacBook Unibody-a-like black screen bezel.

No word yet on how hackable is. The original wind was the perfect machine on the install Mac OS X, with plenty of drivers for almost all the internal hardware. If this really nothing more than an updated chassis, this version should be just the same.

Rumor: 10-inch Acer Aspire One to replace 8.9-incher

http://www.dvhardware.net/news/acer_aspire_one.jpg

We heard some noise today that Acer planning to replace its current 8.9-inch Aspire One with the previously seen 10.1-inch Aspire One (of 103), a gradual withdrawal from the former. The new model will pack an Intel Atom 1.6 GHz CPU and 1 GB of RAM, optional 3G, SDHC card slot, 3 USB ports – fairly standard fare, to ensure that – if it is to come into a some sexy colors we make sure you like the look of course, Digitimes (the source of the rumor) is not necessarily the most reliable paper we read in the morning with our coffee, but the special delicacy not strike us terribly far-fetched. We have the (supposedly) to wait until sometime in the second quarter to find out for sure when. In the meantime: calm down.

Reasons why the Sony VAIO P Series may, or may not, be a netbook

Sony is at pains to point out that its new VAIO S-series is not an ultra-portable Netbook – he said at the CES, and now it’s back to say on the Sony Electronics blog. The Post goes with “We had a lot of fun … tell people why the new P-series VAIO lifestyle PC is not a so-called Netbook computers,” but we feel a few teeth.

Sony Blogger Rick differences between the lists of the VAIO S-Series and other netbooks, but they are not all together …

http://www.mobilecomputermag.co.uk/images/stories/news/2009/01/pseries/p_a06_w_withheadphone.jpg

First, Rick called the keyboard – “much closer to a notebook keyboard larger than what you see on most netbooks.” It is true that the P-series has been designed keyboard, but there are many 10in screen netbooks with 90-odd percent of full-size keyboard.

The 1600 x 768 screen is certainly a distinguishing feature for the P-series, but the HP 2133 Mini-Note had a 1280 x 768 display, which is not far off. Also, the nuclear-Z processor that different from the nuclear-N processors other netbooks, even if we admit that the P-Series is the first fanless, he un-Netbook we’ve seen.

We dismiss the P-series “Wireless” for obvious reasons – all netbooks have Wi-Fi, and some have HSDPA. The new Asus Eee PC T91 has GPS, so that Sony has not stolen the march on that one either.

High-capacity SSDs aren’ta USP either – the Asus Eee PC S101 is similar to – and still is an instant-on Linux mode (ditto).

But we also think Rick and Sony protest too much here. Although there is a risk of VAIO S-series are classified as poor if it attracts a “Netbook” day, one thing is cetain – it is a class for itself. Yes, it’s over prices in the United Kingdom, but it is not to deny that it is a stunning ultra-portable and no matter how many netbooks sure you will not find anything remotely comparable enevn.

Toshiba NB100 available in colours

The Toshiba NB100 laptop is not really that exciting piece of computer equipment provided by an Intel Atom N270 processor and an Intel 945GSE Express chipset is not to shake up anyone’s views on class laptops.
