Acer AO751H REVIEW (same as Acer LT3000) (Acer Aspire One 751)

With so many netbook manufactures now breaking into the 10-inch+ screen limit, Acer was no way going to left behind in the business where it actually rules.The Acer A0751H is the first Acer Aspire One to sport an Intel Atom Z 520 processor that is clocked at 1.3GHz. However, the best part of this netbook is its resolution: 1366 x 768 px, which gives it an obvious edge over its competitors. So, was it able to impress us?

ASUS EEE S101H REVIEW – Detailed!

After the sweet success of ASUS EEE S101, ASUS rolled out a hard disk version of it, the EEE S101H. It is built along the lines of S101. It is just 2.5cm thin; weighs just 1.1kg and its metallic finish makes it perfect for making a style statement. But, do not go swayed away by its looks, it is pretty powerful too.

MSI WIND L2100-036US – 12.1-inch netbook with AMD NEO processor

MSI WIND L2100-036US – 12.1-inch netbook with AMD NEO processor

MSI has silently unveiled yet another netbook. This time, it is the MSI WIND L2100 which sports an AMD Neo processor instead of some random Z-series Atom CPU.

Following the recent trend of equipping netbooks, the L2100 also comes with 250GB hard disk and 2GB RAM. It has 12.1-inch display with 1366×768 resolution. It also has an HDMI port which is still a novel feature in netbooks. There is a dedicated GPU (ATI Radeon X1250) too to that nice HD content.

Other specs: 3 USB 2.0 ports, VGA port, microphone jack, headphone jack, 1.3MP webcam, 4-in-one card reader, LAN and 2 Speakers. Weighing at 1.45kg (3.2lbs), it is certainly not that light to carry around like SONY VAIO X, but then the MSI costs 3-times less too

It comes with a 6-cell battery which should give you 4-5 hours of runtime as the AMD Neo is not as power-sipping as Intel Atom.

Prices start at $459

ASUS EEE T91MT has palm rejection feature!

ASUS EEE T91MT has palm rejection feature!

ASUS EEE T91MT one more exiting feature: Palm Rejection. This feature is hidden inside Touch Gate’s tools (IntelliWrite). You can two options to choose from:

  • Pen Mode
  • Finger Mode

This feature only works with Journal and Sticky Notes. Sadly, this feature is not available in all the apps which means that in those apps, you will be a bit more careful more writing or scribling anything as Palm Rejection feature won’t be active in those apps.

VAIO X more complex than Macbook Air

VAIO X more complex than Macbook Air

We all knew that SONY did some serious engineering behind the scenes to make the VAIO X (review here) so slim and still somehow kept the overall feature-set attractive. However, that did not stop few tech geeks from Japan to take apart the whole unit. They came to a conclusion that VAIO X is, infact, harder to assemble than the Apple’s Macbook Air which happens to be its direct contender.

“By the way, it would be very difficult to come up with the assembly sequence for the Vaio X,” an engineer said. “Are the components mounted all at once after connecting them with one another? There must be a correct procedure, but it must be very difficult. That’s why Sony manufactures the PC at a plant in Japan.”

AMD Yukon CPU – for sub notebooks and ultra-thin laptops

AMD Yukon CPU – for sub notebooks and ultra-thin laptops

AMD (Advanced Micro Devices) is soon going to launch its next generation processor meant for the slim-notebooks. AMD made clear that it is (still) not interested in the mini-notebook market, by which he actually meant netbooks. The Yukon, its upcomig mobile processor will target notebooks having 11-13 inch displays.

“To be clear, Yukon is targeting ultraportables and not netbooks/mini-notebooks,” the AMD spokesman said.

Whether they admit it or not, but many netbook manufactures have started using the AMD Neo processors in their netbooks. So AMD is indirectly active in the netbook market.
