Netbook Reviews

I have just attended Asus’ Eee Pad Transformer and Eee Slate EP121 tablet showcase in London, where they have shown off the very impressive devices and announced the official UK prices and release dates.

Prices range from £379 for the 16GB model (pad only), £429 for the 32GB model (pad only) to £429 for the 16GB with dock / keyboard.

All models will be available from 6th April. And they will be available for pre-order from Amazon from midnight tonight.

Hands on video and demonstration. Including HD video streaming via DLNA output via HDMI to a HDTV will be added to the site later today. (Along with non-super blury photo!)

The device is indeed very impressive, with excellent build quality and IPS display. I think Asus have a winning product here.

As most of you are probably already aware, Asus have two new AMD Fusion based Eee PC netbooks coming our way very soon.

We have know about the Asus 1015B and 1215B for a few months now, but we have just heard official word on their release and price.

Both the 10.1-inch Asus Eee PC 1015B and the 12-inch Asus Eee PC 1215B will be available in early April, with the Asus 1015B priced at just $289.99 and the 12-inch Asus 1215B at just $379.99.

Asus has just updated it’s range of nettop PCs and have been showing them off at CeBIT 2011.

Their latest Eee Box mini PC’s have the same design as previous models but they have been updated to make use of the latest AMD Fusion processors.

Two new models have been announced, the Asus Eee Box EB1020, and the Asus Eee Box EB1021.

The Acer Aspire One AOD255E is the very latest netbook from Acer, and the first one available to feature the new dual core 1.66GHz Intel Atom N570 processor.

Intel has only just today officially announced their latest Intel Atom N570 processor to the world, stating that new netbooks will be shortly available from Asus, Acer, Lenovo and Lenovo. But on the very same day, the Acer AOD255E is already available and shipping out to happy customers.

The Samsung NC110 was announced along with the NC210, and the NS310 netbook at CES 2011 at the start of the year.

We have just noticed that the Samsung NC110 is now available to purchase from Amazon for $342 or less from their thirdparty stores!

The Samsung NC110 and NC210 are very similar and have the came design, but different chassis material and specifications. The NC110 featured here is the higher end model.

The MSI Wind U160 has been a popular netbook for MSI for over a year now. But now MSI is back with the MSI Wind U160MX.

So how does the new MSI U160MX differ from the original U160? Well firstly the main difference is that the U160MX is available with either a single or dual core Intel Atom processor rather than just the standard single core.

LG have just announced their latest, and we must admit, very impressive new netbook. The LG XNote X170 is a 10.1-inch netbook, but it does standout from the crowd.

Firstly it is available with the the new dual core Intel Atom N550 processor, or the standard single core Atom N455 processor. Along with a choice of processors the LG X170 comes with a choice of either the standard 1024 x 600 pixel resolution LCD, or a 1366 x 768 pixel HD display. Upgrading to the HD display model gives you extra screen space, which makes everything feel a whole lot less cramped.

The Acer AO522 was one of the few new netbook to have been announced at this years CES 2011.

The 10.1-inch Acer Aspire AO522 appeared on Amazon for pre-order just days after it’s announcement, and we are now very pleased to inform you that it is now shipping out. It can be purchased directly from Amazon for just $329.99.

Just like the the other netbook manufacturers at this years CES, Asus has been pretty low key with their netbook releases. But along with their new AMD Fusion netbooks, the Eee PC 1015B and Eee PC 1215B they did announce the Asus Eee PC Sirocco netbook.

Now that the Asus Eee PC Sirocco has been announced it turns out that the Asus Sirocco is a special designers edition of the Asus 1015PW which was previously announced in Europe.

The Asus Eee PC 1018P has been one of the most popular netbooks on the market recently, and it has just been given up upgrade, now being powered by the Intel Atom N550 dual core processor.

The Asus 1018P has been a great seller and features a very sleek and stylish design. Rather than releasing a whole new model, Asus has decided to give the Asus 1018P a power boost by throwing in the Atom N550 processor.
