This Friday is Black Friday, and we already have a number of great black Friday netbook deals for you!

Even though Black Friday 2009 is on November 27th the vast majority of retailers have already got their deals out of the door.

Netbooks seem to be a very popular Black Friday item, so you can expect some great deals this year.

Update: Be sure the check out the 2010 black friday netbook deals page!

Just last week we saw the first netbook using Intel’s upcoming Pineview chipset / processor, the Lenovo S10-3 (FL5-B3) pass though the FCC.

It now looks like there are now two Pineview netbooks planned. The second being Fujitsu MH380 / M380 LifeBook, which is a 10.1-inch netbook from the Fujitsu’s M Series.

Netbooks today are still running on the current Intel Atom CPU generation, and have yet to move on to the new Pine Trail platform and Pineview processors.

But even before netbooks have had time to use the new Pine Trail generation, details of the next generation of the 2011 Atom CPU have emerged.

We are running a Thanksgiving giveaway competition where you can win a 64GB SSD for your netbook, or an 8GB Obama USB drive!

A 64GB Active Media SaberTooth netbook SSD and two 8GB USB drives are up for grabs, and have been generously provided by Active Media!

The Viewsonic VOT 132 is the top of the range model from their latest nettop line up. The ViewSonic 132 is made a lot more interesting than most netbooks on the market as it feature Nvidia Ion graphics and a dual core Atom CPU.

The Nvidia Ion chipset / graphics gives the Viewsonic VOT 132 more than enough power to decode and playback 1080p HD videos and output them to your display / HDTV via HDMI output.

The Lite-On eTAU108 is an ultra slim and light, top loading external USB DVD burner.

Lite-On are calling the eTAU108, “the ideal travel accessory”, while this statement is probably true, for us it has very high hopes of being the ideal netbook accessory!

The eTAU108 is one of the, if not THE, slimmest and lightest, USB external DVD writers on the market today. It’s width and depth measurements hardly measure much greater than that of a CD, and it’s height is less than 2cm.

The Gigabyte Booktop M1305 was shown off over six months ago now, but as it’s getting closer to it’s highly anticipated release, some interesting extra features have been discovered.

The Gigabyte M1305 features a special dock which features the powerful Nvidia GeForce GT220 graphics, giving it plenty more power to power external displays, rather than the M1305′s less powerful internal GMA 4500MHD graphics.
