Netbook Reviews

The Manli M3 netbook might not be a name that comes to mind in the world of netbooks swamped by Asus, Acer and many others.

The team over at Netbooknews have done an interesting video review of the Manli M3 netbook.

The Toshiba NB200, which is also known as the Dynabook UX has been available for a few weeks now, in white, brown and black color options.

Now, Toshiba have announced two new color options to the Toshiba NB200, bringing five color options in total. It’s now available in Blue, and Pink options.

Gateway recently announced their first netbook, the LT3100, which was AMD powered. Today, they have announced the Gateway LT2000 netbook, which is makes use of the more common Intel Atom processor.

The Gateway LT2000 has the same external design as the LT3100, but features the popular Intel Atom N270 1.6 GHz CPU, along with a 10.1-inch LED backlit LCD with a 1024 x 600 resolution.

There are very very few netbooks on the market which feature an optical drive of some sort, whether it be a CD or DVD burner, in fact, it’s one of the common features which separate netbooks from laptops.

Not having a DVD drive in netbooks, saves room, weight and cost in the production of netbooks, and most users will not have a problem with this.

Sony’s very first official netbook, the Sony Vaio W has shown on up Amazon for pre-order!

The very attractive 10.1-inch netbook is currently available for pre-order from Amazon for $499 in, White,  Brown and Pink colors.

Acer have announced and released the new Acer Veriton N260G nettop to the European market.

The Acer Veriton N260G is pretty much the impressive Acer Aspire Revo nettop, which was released a few months ago, but without the most impressive feature of the Revo, the Nvidia Ion chipset / graphics!

An Apple Netbook has been rumored for some time now, with Apple claiming to refuse to give the netbook market any attention.

Recently China Times is reporting that a 9.7-inch touchscreen netbook will debut in October this year. They are claiming that Dynapack, and Wintek have received orders from Apple, with Foxconn being the main manufacture.

The LG X130 has just shown up on the FCC website, revealing some key information along with a view of the netbook.

Although it is currently being called the LG X13, if the previous LG model names are anything to go by (X120, X110), we assume that on it’s release it will be called the LG X130.

The current best selling netbook on the market is the very impressive Asus 1005HA “SeaShell” netbook.

When it was first made available, just a few short weeks ago. There were only two color option, black and blue.

If you want to be able to watch HD videos on your netbook, including 1080p HD video, you currently really only have two choices. You netbook must either feature the Nvidia Ion platform, or the Broadcom Crystal HD video accelerator.
