However, there is one thing that has stopped most of the manufactures NOT to use it in their netbooks: PRICE.I feel acutely that once Intel and AMD, reduce the prices of the CULV processors a bit, most of the netbook manufactures will opt for equipping their netbooks with these more powerful CULV processors instead of Intel Atom CPUs.Click on read more to read the full article!]]> http://gadgetmix.com/netbook/culv-or-intel-atom-processor-a-comparison/feed/ 1 http://gadgetmix.com/netbook/asus-total-netbook-line-to-be-slashed-to-just-3-netbooks/ http://gadgetmix.com/netbook/asus-total-netbook-line-to-be-slashed-to-just-3-netbooks/#comments Sat, 16 May 2009 13:45:55 +0000 Paul Merak http://gadgetmix.com/index/?p=5520 This is sad, really sad.]]> http://gadgetmix.com/netbook/asus-total-netbook-line-to-be-slashed-to-just-3-netbooks/feed/ 1 http://gadgetmix.com/netbook/no-armandroid-netbooks-until-q1-2010/ http://gadgetmix.com/netbook/no-armandroid-netbooks-until-q1-2010/#comments Fri, 01 May 2009 14:50:50 +0000 Paul Merak http://gadgetmix.com/index/?p=5345

Asus will continue to produce netbooks powered by Windows XP in 2009

According to Asus CEO, X86 processors are more popular due to wide spectrum of applications available

Netprofit decreased by 94% (this includes overall netprofit though)

Netbooks running other operating system will emerge in Q1 2010. Not before that.

I think it is a right more by Asus. I believe the netbook market is still not enough ready for Android netbooks. The Android OS needs to become more powerful and more mature a bit more before vendors start putting it in their netbooks]]> http://gadgetmix.com/netbook/no-armandroid-netbooks-until-q1-2010/feed/ 2 http://gadgetmix.com/netbook/xp-lives-netbook-vendors-will-be-able-to-get-xp-for-an-year-after-the-release-of-windows-7/ http://gadgetmix.com/netbook/xp-lives-netbook-vendors-will-be-able-to-get-xp-for-an-year-after-the-release-of-windows-7/#comments Thu, 30 Apr 2009 19:09:44 +0000 Paul Merak http://gadgetmix.com/index/?p=5341 "OEMs that are using Windows XP on netbooks will have the ability to install Windows XP for one year — 12 months — after Windows 7 general availability,"What a great news this is for the netbook vendors! This means that XP won't be vanishing after the release of Windows 7, which should be out in January 2009. Long live XPOn the other hand, we won't be able to see a lot of netbooks officially running Windows 7 as the Windows XP is available for just $15 to the netbook vendors (some say, it is even lower). This helps them to bundle XP with their netbooks at a pretty low price. It is a quite obvious that whenever Windows 7 becomes availbble, Microsoft will be charging a lot more than $15 licence fee per netbook from the vendors. This would ultimately increase the overall cost of the netbook, which can give free operating systems, say Linux, a pretty good chance to take away some share from Microsoft.]]> http://gadgetmix.com/netbook/xp-lives-netbook-vendors-will-be-able-to-get-xp-for-an-year-after-the-release-of-windows-7/feed/ 56 http://gadgetmix.com/netbook/there-is-no-use-of-using-n280-gn40-combo-if-you-are-using-windows-xp/ http://gadgetmix.com/netbook/there-is-no-use-of-using-n280-gn40-combo-if-you-are-using-windows-xp/#comments Wed, 22 Apr 2009 13:34:35 +0000 Paul Merak http://gadgetmix.com/index/?p=5192 http://gadgetmix.com/netbook/there-is-no-use-of-using-n280-gn40-combo-if-you-are-using-windows-xp/feed/ 0 http://gadgetmix.com/netbook/aware-a-view-netbook/ http://gadgetmix.com/netbook/aware-a-view-netbook/#comments Wed, 15 Apr 2009 11:51:04 +0000 Paul Merak http://gadgetmix.com/index/?p=5006 http://gadgetmix.com/netbook/aware-a-view-netbook/feed/ 40 http://gadgetmix.com/xp/windows-xp-mainstream-support-now-officially-retired/ http://gadgetmix.com/xp/windows-xp-mainstream-support-now-officially-retired/#comments Tue, 14 Apr 2009 14:57:21 +0000 Paul Merak http://gadgetmix.com/index/?p=4988 http://gadgetmix.com/xp/windows-xp-mainstream-support-now-officially-retired/feed/ 0 http://gadgetmix.com/netbook/microsoft-96-of-netbooks-run-windows/ http://gadgetmix.com/netbook/microsoft-96-of-netbooks-run-windows/#comments Mon, 06 Apr 2009 20:07:28 +0000 Paul Merak http://gadgetmix.com/index/?p=4848 http://gadgetmix.com/netbook/microsoft-96-of-netbooks-run-windows/feed/ 0 http://gadgetmix.com/news/windows-7-is-going-to-increase-nand-flash-memory-demand-yes-it-is-more-ssd-friendly-os/ http://gadgetmix.com/news/windows-7-is-going-to-increase-nand-flash-memory-demand-yes-it-is-more-ssd-friendly-os/#comments Fri, 20 Mar 2009 15:37:20 +0000 Paul Merak http://gadgetmix.com/index/?p=4433 RAMdisk in their devices.

The OLPC has finally decided to go for the ARM platform. The current XO-1 is very power-frugal and uses just 5 watts of power on an average, which is really efficient for an X86 machine. That said, if the company opts ARM, it would nearly triple the battery life of these devices with the same capacity battery. ARM has much better power management features and also has built-in WiFi. However, the desktop version of Windows does not support ARM processor, which means no XP or no Windows 7.The OLPC has requested Microsoft to make a special version of Windows 7 that is able to run on an OLPC. In case that happens, this will ultimately kill Windows Mobile as a lot of Windows Mobile devices run on ARM platform. That is why, I feel that OLPC will need a do a lot of persuation to the Microsoft for making an ARM-compatible Windows 7.Note: Windows Mobile fully supports ARM. However, we understand that Windows 7 would be more suitable for the children.]]> http://gadgetmix.com/netbook/olpc-wants-windows-7-for-arm/feed/ 0 http://gadgetmix.com/windows-mobile-software/pe-explorer-suit-review-for-windows-mobile-professional/ http://gadgetmix.com/windows-mobile-software/pe-explorer-suit-review-for-windows-mobile-professional/#comments Wed, 03 Sep 2008 15:43:34 +0000 Paul Merak http://gadgetmix.com/index/?p=709 http://gadgetmix.com/windows-mobile-software/pe-explorer-suit-review-for-windows-mobile-professional/feed/ 0 http://gadgetmix.com/news/documents-to-go-for-windows-mobile-released/ http://gadgetmix.com/news/documents-to-go-for-windows-mobile-released/#comments Fri, 29 Aug 2008 17:18:24 +0000 Paul Merak http://gadgetmix.com/index/?p=701 http://gadgetmix.com/news/documents-to-go-for-windows-mobile-released/feed/ 0 http://gadgetmix.com/windows-mobile/cnetx-flash-format-review-for-windows-mobile-professional/ http://gadgetmix.com/windows-mobile/cnetx-flash-format-review-for-windows-mobile-professional/#comments Thu, 28 Aug 2008 15:29:10 +0000 Paul Merak http://gadgetmix.com/index/?p=699 http://gadgetmix.com/windows-mobile/cnetx-flash-format-review-for-windows-mobile-professional/feed/ 0 http://gadgetmix.com/news/photoshop-mobile-upload-view-and-share-photos/ http://gadgetmix.com/news/photoshop-mobile-upload-view-and-share-photos/#comments Thu, 28 Aug 2008 02:44:30 +0000 Paul Merak http://gadgetmix.com/index/?p=695 http://gadgetmix.com/news/photoshop-mobile-upload-view-and-share-photos/feed/ 0 http://gadgetmix.com/news/kinoma-play-released-for-windows-mobile-smartphone/ http://gadgetmix.com/news/kinoma-play-released-for-windows-mobile-smartphone/#comments Tue, 26 Aug 2008 22:27:02 +0000 Paul Merak http://gadgetmix.com/index/?p=690 http://gadgetmix.com/news/kinoma-play-released-for-windows-mobile-smartphone/feed/ 0 http://gadgetmix.com/windows-mobile-software/storagetools-reviewed-for-windows-mobile-professional/ http://gadgetmix.com/windows-mobile-software/storagetools-reviewed-for-windows-mobile-professional/#comments Mon, 25 Aug 2008 15:30:40 +0000 Paul Merak http://gadgetmix.com/index/?p=674 http://gadgetmix.com/windows-mobile-software/storagetools-reviewed-for-windows-mobile-professional/feed/ 0 http://gadgetmix.com/windows-mobile-software/ftp-browser-for-windows-mobile-cedeftp-25/ http://gadgetmix.com/windows-mobile-software/ftp-browser-for-windows-mobile-cedeftp-25/#comments Mon, 25 Aug 2008 15:09:50 +0000 Paul Merak http://gadgetmix.com/index/?p=670 http://gadgetmix.com/windows-mobile-software/ftp-browser-for-windows-mobile-cedeftp-25/feed/ 1
