Dell Mini 10v clone – packs bigger display
Here is a Chinese clone of Dell Mini 10V (1012) netbook that comes with a good ‘ol Atom N270 processor. But, it does packs a HD display (1366×768) and that mean it does have something to ponder on. The netbook is bigger than the original and reason of boasting a bigger frame is its 11.6-inch display.
Other specs include Intel 945GSE chipset, 1GB DDR2 RAM, 160GB HDD, GMA 950 graphics and 1.3MP webcam. The netbook features a 3-cell 2400mAh battery, 3G SIM slot, LAN, BT and 2x USB ports. It also offers a less stressful keyboard.

There is even a memory card reader and standard output jacks, something which are not found on the iPad, unless buy yourself those clumsy accessories. Ekoore is giving you the choice to get one with either Windows XP installed or Ubuntu.
Unfortunately, it is available only in Italy at a price of 479 Euros
Netbook Navigator – Too Pricey
There is a new slate tablet in town, called the Netbook Navigator. Comes outfitted with a 8.9-inch multi-touch display, built-in 3G, 32GB SSD and runs Windows 7 Home Premium. For some reason, its manufacturing company went for the Intel Atom N270 CPU (1.6GHz) which will soon be axed by the Intel few months from now.
That is not the only weird feature about this ‘netbook tablet’, it is its base price tag of $799. Complete FAIL. Still want to have it? Hop over to the company’s website to pre-order one for yourself

On the funny side, Asus is going to launch their EEE keyboard that will be carrying the N270 processor which will be phased-out after 4 months from now.

MiniPC Japan launches Atom-Powered Desktop – GF27
MiniPC has unveiled their new Atom-powered desktop, GF27, which used Intel Atom N270 processor. You have the option to get one with one 3.5-inch HDD or two 2.5-inch HDDs, Dual-LAN and DVI. It has 4 USB ports (2 in the front and 2 at the back). Strangely,earphone and microphone ports are placed at the back of the it, which may not liked by a lot of people.
It is odd that MiniPC used N270 Atom processor in GF27, which is meant to be used in netbooks. They could have easily used Atom 230/330 which are considered more suitable for desktop hardware.
Sony now offering Z530 proccessor for VAIO P
Sony is now (finally) offering the ‘faster’ Atom Z530 processor to the US consumers. The Z530 runs at 1.6GHz as compared to 1.3GHz Z520 processor. The ‘new’ Atom will be offered in the new P698E model, in which Sony has also bundled the 128GB SSD. Keep in mind that Z530 is still slower than N270/N280 processor, but offers better battery life.
I don’t think that it would be appealing enough for the consumers to shell out so much. Anyway, if you have $1500 lying around, then you should give this little thing a shot!
Atom N270 and N280 processors will not be offered upgrades to Windows 7
Most of the Netbook vendors have decided that they won’t be offering upgrades to Windows 7 to the netbooks running Windows 7. Currently, the netbook vendors have to pay just $25 for each XP license. And there are reasons why Windows 7 won’t be offered to N270 netbook users. Microsoft will be charging $45 per license for Windows 7 and thus, vendors will be forced to increase the cost of the netbook. If they keep the prices same, it may hurt the profits.
Right now, plans are to introduce Windows 7 to the netbooks that will be equipped with Atom N450 processor, which will be introduced in the month of October this year.
Although, I’m sure that there are many of us who are just not bothered whether our netbook vendors give us the option to upgrade to Windows 7 till we are able to get everything working ourselves.
