The budget ultraportable trend showed no signs of slowing this week, as Acer’s Aspire One hit US shelves priced from $379. Meanwhile, sources close to Dell’s suppliers tipped the company’s upcoming ‘E’ netbook as carrying a mere $299 price tag, and perhaps even landing as early as next month.

AMD isn’t letting their disappointing financial performance slow them down; fresh CEO Dirk Meyer has revealed that the company is preparing to reveal their rival to Intel’s Atom CPU in November.

AMD may be quiet right now on the “grown up” ultraportable chipset front, but expect all that to change as the company rolls out its Shrike platform. Intended for full-power ultraportables, such as Lenovo’s X61, rather than budget notebooks (which would be served by the Puma chipset), Shrike is built on AMD’s Fusion chip; that includes [...]
