Netbook Reviews

LG have just announced an new ultra slim 13.3-inch notebook over in Korea. It’s part of the X-note range and has the slender frame and specifications for it to be classed as an ultrabook.

The thin and light LG Z330 Ultrabook is based on Intel next generation platform ultrabook specifications and and powered by the Intel Core i7 2637M or Core i5 2467M processor with 4GB of RAM.

The Acer Aspire One AO722 is currently one of the best selling netbooks on the market today. And it is easily the best budget 11.6-inch netbook by a long way.

The popular Acer Aspire One AO722 has recently been given a power boost and is now available with the more powerful AMD C-60 APU rather than the C-50.

While the C-60 has the same clock speed as the C-50 (1GHz) the C-60 offers a short Turbo core overclocking to 1.33GHz.

Black Friday is now just two short days away. Normally by this time of year the net is alive with loads of black Friday deals, and a fair few netbook deals.

But this Black Friday 2011 the netbook deals seem to be more few and far between.

We will be sure to update you as more deals are announced closer to Friday.

As of right now the best deals we have found come from trusty black Friday supporter Amazon.

With the Kindle Fire tablet, Amazon have achieved what many thought impossible. They have produced and released a high quality, powerful tablet at less than half the price of the leading tablet.

With many people not willing to fork out $500 for an Apple iPad 2 tablet, but also not wanting to by a cheap low quality tablet, Amazon have come to the rescue offering an ultra affordable tablet ($199), which is far from “cheap” in any means.

The Kindle Fire also offers a huge advantage over all other tablets currently on the market, by offering integrated access to Amazon’s vast collection of digital film, tv, music, magazine and book services.

Although the Kindle Fire keeps the “Kindle” name from their highly successful range of ebook readers, the Kindle Fire is less Kindle / ebook reader and more so pure tablet.

The Acer Aspire S3 Ultrabook is one of the most impressive notebooks / ultrabooks to come our way recently, and we have just received official word that the Asus S3 has just revived a powerboost upgrade how packing the Intel Core i7 processor.

A new highly appealing upcoming laptop has just been uncovered by Pierre over at Blogeee. The Asus U32U is a 13.3-inch laptop which looks to be priced between $449 and $509.

We expect the upcoming Asus U32U to be announced at the beginning of next year at CES 2012. It looks like it is based on the 13.3-inch chassis of the U36, but will be powered by the AMD Zacate E-450 (1.65Ghz Dual core) and Radeon 6320 graphics chipset.

Just a few short days ago Lenovo’s latest line of upcoming products were leaked. This leak included the Lenovo ThinkPad X130e which we will be covering here, and the X1 Hybrid, and an $800 Ultrabook the HP Folio.

Today we have found out some more information on the Lenovo X130e thanks to a product page found on Taiwan’s PCHome website.

The Lenovo X130e builds on the success of the X120 and delivers a tough laptop with rough-and-tumble keyboard, strengthened hinges and toughened corners.

With the upcoming release of the Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime tablet / convertible netbook, we are starting to see more and more accessories but unofficial and official coming our way.

This time it’s the official Asus “Smart Cover” for the Transformer which has shown up. This is probably the most popular and essential accessory you can get for the tablet.

It’s design and finish are similar to that of the original Transformer Smart cover, but the design has been changed on this model.

A new tablet from Acer looks to be heading our way shortly. The Acer Iconia Tab A200 has just broke radar cover over on the FCC website confirming its existence.

The FCC report doesn’t provide us with a whole lot of information apart from letting us know it exists and a few basic specifications on the device.

Barnes & Noble have just announced their Nook Tablet computer.  This announcement comes just weeks after Amazon launched their own tablet the Amazon Kindle Fire.  Clearly the Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet is in direct competition with the Kindle Fire more so than with other tablets such as the iPad 2 or Samsung Galaxy Tab.
