It is a netbook with 10-inch display with a marvelous 1280x720 resolution. It runs the Intel's new Pineview N450 processor that runs at 1.66GHz clock speed. Another great news for the GMA 500 haters, it packs GMA 3150 graphic chipset which will replace both GMA 500 and GMA 945 that was prevalent in the N270/N280 basd netbooks.It will ship with Windows 7 Starter operating system.The Aspire One is currently listed at Lithuanian reseller site with a price tag of £297/$483/€328 but we suspect that the price might even be lower once this one is released and shows up at e-tail.The Intel's Pineview N450 CPU has integrated DDR2 memory controller and graphics core built into the CPU itself, rather than the chipset.]]> http://gadgetmix.com/netbook/acer-aspire-532h-netbook-details-uncovered/feed/ 2 http://gadgetmix.com/netbook/malata-tablet-netbook/ http://gadgetmix.com/netbook/malata-tablet-netbook/#comments Wed, 18 Nov 2009 10:23:56 +0000 Brooke http://gadgetmix.com/index/?p=11742 R108T.

Secondly, the machine is over-priced for what it offers. 160GB HDD, 1GB RAM coupled with N270 makes the overall deal look awful[HP store]]]> http://gadgetmix.com/netbook/hp-mini-110-studio-tord-boontje-runs-windows-7/feed/ 0 http://gadgetmix.com/netbook/new-atom-n450-for-netbook-to-be-released-in-january-20-more-than-atom-n270/ http://gadgetmix.com/netbook/new-atom-n450-for-netbook-to-be-released-in-january-20-more-than-atom-n270/#comments Sat, 17 Oct 2009 05:51:50 +0000 Twinkle http://gadgetmix.com/index/?p=10451 aging Atom N270, but the money is worth it.

Look at the audacity of Samsung: Releasing a netbook with the Atom N270 processor in the Q4 of 2009! The N130, that has an Atom N270 processor and a pitiful 1.5W mono speaker comes with a 3-cell (2300 mAh) or 6-cell (4000mAh) battery. This is the same company that released the revolutionary Samsung NC10 netbook an year ago which sported a marvelous 6-7 hours of battery life.The higher end Samsung N140 has an Atom N280 processor though. It also has Bluetooth 2.1, 3W stereo speakers and higher capacity 6-cell batteries (5200 or 5900 mAh). Gratifying, I must say. You can get one in white, black or dark blue color.
