On the hunt for a new Netbook? Well, if you have a Linux-based, you can forget that with HP’s latest range.

The company against the release of all the Linux machines in the United Kingdom, rather than for Windows. Indeed, the Mini 1000, announced at the rear end of the year 2008, is only to be released, as the Vivienne Tam Edition flowers – nice if you have a spare bag, not good if you are male and want to prevent that the center of Office gossip.There is the way to more subdued Compaq Mini 700, but even this only in the Windows flavor. If you want Linux, you’re looking at 2133 Mini-Note, but as this is almost a year old, you can elsewhere.

The embattled OLPC program, already hard hit by job cuts and salary decreases, makes a last attempt to hold: Open source everything and hope that enough companies to copy the design, to be profitable.

The news was front man of OLPC Nicholas Negroponte himself, during the speech this week the TED conference 2009

Blogger Ethan Zuckerman, reporting of TED, said Negroponte hopes that the new open-source hardware design is referred to as “something that all the copies.”

“Commercial markets will go to no end to stop. This is a kind of tragedy,” said Negroponte. “The future of One Laptop Per Child is to go from large to small letters,” to “build something that all the copies. ”

According to Negroponte, the open architecture will enable companies worldwide to create 5 p.m. to 6 a.m. million units per month in three years. That is a lot of little green mean machine, with the strange alien WiFi antennas.

And while this sounds rather technical, licensing as a real “open source”, it will be interesting to see what companies cook with the help of the OLPC design in the next few years.

Cheap, small Netbook is to provide a little more powerful.

Intel this week confirmed it is shipping a new version of the low-power Atom processor for Netbook.

Dubbed Atom N280, the processor, the main improvement is in the high-definition video playback. The N280 is coupled with a GN40 chipset, a hardware-based HD video decoder for displaying 720p HD video.

This seemingly minor upgrade could significantly change the Netbook experience by using the device only in a much more expensive machines to play back videos. A common complaint about Netbook is choppy video playback, and the N280, this issue should be. Heck, you can buy to use as a portable video player – a device between a video iPod and a full-size notebook. (Think about airplanes or family road trips.)

With the N280, the Atom processor is also a slight increase in speed: 1.66GHz compared to its predecessor, the 1.6 GHz Atom N270.

Panasonic Toughbook notebook is the Jason Statham of the PC industry – a robust, star, only to reject measures that, although the car to the stomach.

If it is found that the Toughbook has some soft corners. Panasonic Toughbook-52-model comes with a 13.3-inch touchscreen display. The standard version of this model is equipped with a 15.4-inch widescreen.

Apple’s iPhone has a standard touch-screen mobile phone at fixture. But notebook makers have been slower to get to that trend.

Rival Fujitsu has a touch screen in a dual-screen notebook. In addition to the regular laptop screen, Fujitsu is an embedded 4-inch touch screen on the keyboard. Most touch screens were on the Tablet PC as a rapier-style notebooks.

Usability analysts say touchscreens are the limit for most notebook users, and offer little additional benefit over the mouse and keyboard. Touchpad unlikely to make a dent interfaces are in the way users with their computers, Anthony Andre, professor of human factors and ergonomics at San Jose State University, told Wired.com before.

It could be one reason why Panasonic takes it slow. It has the optional touchscreen Toughbook buyer.
