Netbook Reviews

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.

Ever since the announcement of the Asus Transformer Prime (aka. Asus EEE Pad Transformer 2), everyone has been on the look out for more information on the highly anticipated tablet.

Some relief comes today in the form of a leaked benchmark. The graph shows the Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime sitting proudly at the top of the chart, scoring a very impressive 12872.

The ultra thin (3mm-9mm) Asus UX21E 11.6-inch laptop / ultrabook was first announced back in June where it certainly gained its fair share of attention.

When it was first announced as part of Asus’ very impressive Zenbook range it was instantly compared to the MacBook Air, but with a promised price point of 80-90%.

Over in Japan, Asus have announced a number of new laptop models to the market. One of which caught our attention, the Asus U24E.

The 11.6-inch laptop / ultrabook was first reported over on the Notebook Review forum, but since then we have heard from Asus via an official press release at Japanese website Asahi.

The Sandy Bridge powered Asus U24 can be considered a mid range laptop or even an ultrabook as it shares a number of ultrabook features.

Amazon have shaken up the tablet world with their announcement of the Amazon Kindle Fire tablet PC, just as they did with their very first ebook reader.

The kindle is extremely well known and easily the market leading ebook reader. Now Amazon have taken the Kindle brand to a whole new level. The new Amazon Kindle Fire more than just a color Kindle. It is a powerful dual core tablet PC which can easily compete with the other tablets on the market, including the iPad 2, and less than half the price of the iPad 2, at just $199.

Samsung have just put out official word that their new Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus tablet will be available from November 13th.

Officially the pre-order started yesterday (October 23rd), Amazon jumped the gun and opened their pre-order pages a few days ago, only to pull them a few hours later. Now that the 23rd has passed you can now find these pre-order links live on Amazon.
