Bangu Baijian introduces convertible netbook – bigger version of EEE T91

Bangu Baijian has unveiled convertible netbook that comes with a touchscreen display. This unit will be launched in US with a reasonable price of about $440. It has 10.2-inch display which is commonly found in an average netbook. It comes with the (very) familiar 1.6GHz Intel Atom N270 CPU, 1GB of RAM and a 160GB HDD. It sports 2 USB ports, a VGA ports, SDHC card reader and an Ethernet jack as-well-as 802.11b/g WiFi. You can get one with Bluetooth too.

Specs-wise and features-wise, this Bangu Baijian convertible netbook looks very familiar to the ASUS EEE T91, which sports an 8.9-inch display instead of 10.2-inch display. However, ASUS has done a great job of adding useful utilities to utilize the touchscreen feature. We are right now not aware of any such (useful) utilities for the Bangu netbook

Archos 10 now with Ubuntu Linux, 500 GB Hard Disk and 2GB RAM

Archos has unveiled a special edition of its Archos 10 netbook that runs Ubuntu 9.04 Linux. Archos wants its new netbook to be a little different from rest of the netbooks by not only bundling it with different OS, but also equipping it with 2GB of RAM, and a 500GB HDD! That is a lot of storage to store your media.

All Archos 10 models come with an 10.2 inch 1024 x 600 pixel display, a 1.3MP camera, 802.11b/g WiFI, 3 USB ports, and 6 cell battery. It weighs 2.9 pounds and measures 10.2″ x 7.4″ x 1.1″. Best point to note is that Archos has kept the price same for both Windows and Linux models: 375 euros

Most of the traditional netbooks run Windows XP; come with 160GB HDD and 1GB RAM and it is definitely a good strategy by Archos to bundle their netbook with 500GB HDD and 2GB RAM.

MSI U200 launched, another 12-inch netbook

After 10-inch netbooks, 12-inch netbooks are on rage right now. MSI U200 is decent looking netbook, which comes with an impressive resolution: 1366 x 768. You do not see that resolution on a netbook often. Rest of its specs are pretty much netbook-ish:GMA 4500M integrated graphics, 802.11b/g/n WiFi, 2GB of DDR2 memory, and 250GB HDD. It weighs 1.4kg and comes with a 3-cell battery. There is no information on the price as of now

I love the fact that it comes with such a decent resolution, perfect for doing stuff which requires high resolution such as running Visual Studio. Also, 2GB RAM should make processing even more smooth.
