Adamo XPS, an 13-incher just 9.9mm thick is the thinnest notebook in the market. Sporting very smart and stylish looks and costing $1799, this is something you will love to flaunt around.
The Adamo XPS has a Intel Core 2 Duo processor that runs at 1.4GHz, GS45 chipset, 4GB of DDR3 and a 128GB SSD. No matter how nice it looks, the biggest question is: will its design allow the user to use it on his lap?
Since Zune HD drive, Tegra attained popularity very fast, and according to fudzilla, some high ranking industry sources has confirmed that after its so much demand and popularity the company has decided to launch a new chip in 2010. The Tegra 2 will be equipped ARM 9 which is a dual core ARM CPU. Smartbook market is the main focus of Tegra 2.
According to ASUS market specialist, Judy Wu, company’s first smartbook which was planned to be launched in Q1 2010 with a price tag of $180, will now be launched in Q2 2010. No reason was given for this delay.
Interestingly, they are now considering Google Chrome as OS too (along with Android OS)
Earlier today, we posted about the rumored Lenovo X200e. Well, it is actually Thinkpad X100e and it will be launched in the January 2010.
Here are its specs:
- 12.1-inch screen (1280×800)
- 1.6GHz Noe Processor
- 3GB RAM or SSD
- 6-9 cell Lethium-ion battery
- Matt Kohut design
- Windows 7
‘AMD has targeted this sector with its new Athlon Neo chipset which has more cache, an integrated memory controller and the 1.6GHz Neo is partnered with either ATI Radeon X1250 graphics, or ATI Radeon HD3410 graphics.
The higher-end option runs the Windows Vista Aero interface very well, handles some basic 3D gaming, and most importantly can play back full 1080p video. I think that it’s a master stroke by AMD from the price performance view point.’
According to thinkpadtoday, it will have Athlon 1.6GHz Neo processor with ATI Radeon HD3410 graphics or a CULV processor with the Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 4500MHD. I just hope Lenovo does NOT screw up the specs by putting in an Atom processor like what SONY did to the, otherwise wonderful machine, VAIO X

ASUS has delayed the launch of its EEE keyboard that was originally scheduled to make its way to the market in the month of October 2009. The reason behind this delay is that the EEE keyboard has not YET passed the wireless regulation testing.

HTC has received pretty good recognition and is now considered one of the most reputed smartphone manufactures. Now, according to the latest news bits, there are chances that it might try it hands in the (over-saturated) netbook market.
According to HTC CEO Peter Chou, they are very much interested in this category and they are looking forward to enter the netbook market.
I am pretty sure that we will see something very unique and exiting, if, in case, HTC does enter the netbook market. We have seen some really great MID-like smartphones from them. To name a few, HTC TOUCH PRO 2 and the latest one featuring a capacitive display like iPhone, the HTC TOUCH HD 2
Note that HTC did enter the UMPC market and they were not able to sell a lot of these UMPCs. HTC’s UMPC known as the HTC Shift was a disaster; costing more than $1000; ran Vista on a 800MHz processor!

Ubuntu 9.10 was released on Oct 27, 2009 and was greeted very nicely by the Linux fans all around the globe. Just like Ubuntu introduced NBR (Netbook Remix) edition with the 9.04 version, a special NBR version based on 9.10 released was also unveiled. But what is the difference between them?
Well, they both are same except for the fact that the NBR comes with a Netbook Remix launcher. This launcher just takes away your start menu and gives you an easy-to-use interface where you are presented with a grid of icons. Also, tabs of running apps appear on the top bar itself instead of utilizing space on the bottombar. In fact, there is no bottom bar at all! This gives you even more free vertical pixels in your apps.
Driver support is same in both versions
