Gateway EC1803h netbook lands in Canada – Rebranded Acer Aspire 1810T

Acer Aspire Timeline 1810T is being shipped as Acer Aspire 1410 netbook in the US. Gateway EC1803h, seemingly re-branded version of the same netbook packs in a 1.4GHz Intel Core 2 Solo SU3500 processor and GMA 4500 graphics, comes with 3GB of RAM, a 250 HDD and has got a 6-cell battery. No information if it will ever make its debut in the US.

So, compared to the standard netbooks, this is basically a little monster as it has a more powerful processor, more RAM and bigger hard disk. Is there anything to hate about this netbook? Folks, it runs Vista.

The date of the launch and specs of Samsung N510 UK-version disclosed

After the announcement of the launch date of the Samsung N510 in US, now NetbookChoice has received few details from a “reliable and confidential source” about the specs and a launch date of the UK version of Samsung N510.

The source has informed that it would be launched in the same month as it would in the US, that is September. It will be making its debut in the UK in the first week of September and it will be priced at 449 pounds, which is a not cheap for a netbook. But we must understand the fact that this is not a just another netbook with standard specs. It is an ION NETBOOK which is more powerful than the netbooks with standard configurations.

It comes with a 6-Cell battery that will give you 7.5+ hours of battery life. Samsung N510 UK version specs are as follows:

• 11.6” 1366 x 768 Display (Glossy)
• Intel Atom N280 processor (1.66 GHz)
• ION Chipset (NVidia GeForce 9400M)
• 1GB RAM
• 160GB HDD (2.5” SATA)
• Windows XP Home
• 6-Cell Li-Ion 5900mAh Battery (+7.5 Hours)
• 802.11/b/g/n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.1, 10/100 LAN

SONY VAIO P Mark 2 – Second generation VAIO P

Sony is pretty much satisfied by the overall response of VAIO P and is now working on its new version. There is not much known about it other than the fact that it will make its debut at the end of this year. However, it should come with a faster Atom processor and Windows 7, which has been getting “thumbs up” from a lot of tech journalists from all around the world.

To be frank, we were not hugely impressed by the VAIO P ever. It is slow, runs the bulky Vista and crams too many pixels into its small frame to be considered as useful as a netbook.

LG X13 netbook passes through FCC – soon to be launched in US

The LG X13 netbook is very soon going to make its debut in US as it has been recently spotted on FCC’s website. Compared to LG X120, it appears to have wider body, but there is no 3G in this netbook. This means that you have to buy yourself an external USB dongle to get yourself on 3G network.

The LG X13 comes with the usual specs: Intel Atom N270 CPU, 1GB RAM, 160GB hard disk etc.

Oh, did we tell you that we love that texture!

Disney Netbook to make its debut soon – hits the FCC

Netpal, better known as “Disney Netbook” has just hit the FCC and this means only one thing that it is soon going to be launched. Expect it to make its debut at end of July or early August. As mentioned earlier, expect a price tag of $350.

Skytone netbook to cost $250

Remember the Skytone netbook that we mentioned a couple of days back? Some more details are come up about this Android-netbook. The netbook will be named Alpha 680 and will cost $250. It will run on an ARM processor and will weigh just 1.5 pounds which is even less than the EEE 701.

It uses the same chip that is being used in the iPhone too, the ARM 11. The skytone netbook is set to debut in month August or September this year.
Don’t you think that $250 is too much for the Android netbook? By spending a few more dollars, one can buy an Atom-powered netbook. But, the biggest asset that the Android-netbooks will have over the Atom powered netbooks will be better battery life.

Only time will tell, if the consumers will adopt netbooks running Android OS.
