Netbook Reviews

The very impressive new HP Pavilion DM1z series ultraportable notebook has just gone on sale on the official HP estore.

The 11.6-inch ultraportable HP DM1Z series can now be ordered and customized at the official HP store, with prices starting at just $449.99.

The dm1z is a new variation of the popular dm1 model with AMD Vision technology. It is certainly no slouch, and can be configured with up to a massive 5GB of DDR3 RAM, a 500GB hard drive, or 128GB SSD.

Two new Lenovo Ideapad S10-3 netbooks have just shown up for order at Amazon featuring the latest generation Atom N455 processor with DDR3 support.

We have of course seen the Lenovo S10-3 before, but these two new models make use of the faster DDR3 supporting hardware.

Both of these 10.1-inch netbooks have the same design and hardware, but come with either a 160GB hard drive, or a 250GB hard drive for an extra $30.

At first you would probably think the Gateway LT32 Series is a brand new 11.6-inch netbook / notebook on the market. But the Gateway LT32 is in fact just a simple re-branding of the Acer Aspire One 721.

This comes of no real surprise as we have seen Gateway do this a number of times, and especially as Gateway is owned by Acer.

The external design remains the same as the Acer, but of course with Gateway branding in its place.

The new 10-inch Acer Aspire One D255 netbook has just been revealed by reliable source Macles.

The Acer Aspire One AOD255 builds on the AOD260 (slightly confusing giving a higher spec’ed model a lower model number), by giving it the new Intel Atom N550 dual core processor.

The external of the Acer AOD255 is very similar to that of the AOD260, but it looses the chrome elements, and adds a number of extra color options.

On the outside the new 11.6-inch Acer Aspire Timeline X 1830T and Acer Aspire One 721 are pretty much identical to each other with the same chassis. But when you take a look at the price, the 1830T is between $599 and $699, while the Aspire One 721 costs only $430.

So why the price difference? The 1830T as reviewed here features the Intel ULCV processor and hardware, where as the One 721 makes use of the latest AMD hardware and CPU.

The wait is almost over! Two out of the three great new Eee PC netbooks from Asus are finally coming our way and can now be pre-ordered!

These netbooks caused somewhat of a stir when they were unveiled at various recent trade shows. With higher build quality than we are used to seeing on netbooks, and a great looking aluminum finish.

For those of you patiently waiting for the Asus Eee PC 1015P, one of Asus’ latest 10-inch netbooks to come our way have some good news.

The Asus 1015P has just passed through the US FCC, which means it should be available very soon, as the FCC is the last port of call before its release.

Also, the FCC has gone one step further, and have publish a number of disassembly photos along with their documents.

The very new to the market Acer Aspire One 721 and Aspire One 521 mini-notebooks / netbooks take a slightly different path than most devices currently on the market.

For starters they both use AMD hardware and ATI graphics, rather than the very common Intel hardware and Atom processors.

The Acer Aspire One 521 has a 10.1-inch LCD with a standard 1024 x 600 pixel resolution, while the Acer Aspire One 721 is the larger at 11.6-inches with a 1366 x 768 pixel resolution.

It looks like Asus are bringing two new 10-inch Eee PC models to the market very soon.

The Asus Eee PC 1015PD and 1015PED have been spotted at a number of places on the Internet already, including a Hungarian store and also on the official US Asus support site.

I don’t remember hearing anything about the “Samsung Netbook Bundle” which I have seen showing up at Amazon UK for a little while now.

The official Samsung netbook bundle consist of a netbook sleeve, Panda Antivirus 2010 for Netbooks, and Ability Office v5 Home Edition USB stick. Which Samsung says will ensure that “your netbook is always safe, secure and as productive as it can be”.

Samsung are of course aiming this bundle at users who are purchasing a new (Samsung) netbook.
