Toshiba Libretto W100 hands-on [Video]
Dual-touchscreens, a clamshell book/netbook form-factor and a custom finger-friendly UI: the Toshiba Libretto W100 has broken the mold, and while the company concedes its resemblance to the Microsoft Courier renders, they’re insisting it’s a very different product. Based around two 7-inch capacitive touchscreen displays, a Pentium U5400 processor and a 62GB SSD, the Libretto W100 is the first such device to run Windows 7 and can be used either as a regular mini-notebook – complete with various on-screen keyboards – or as a digital book.

Intel CULV Celeron U3400 due Q3; 6-Series desktop CPUs in Q1 2011
News of Intel's next-gen processors has emerged, including the supposedly-delayed next generation CULV chips and, slightly further off, their 6-series desktop chipsets.

Intel freeze CULV refresh over Calpella success?
Another rumored blow to Intel's CULV range of ultra-low-voltage processors for ultra-thins, as DigiTimes' sources at notebook manufacturers claim the silicon company have delayed the launch of a new CULV line-up. The decision - which would push the new ultra-thin CPUs back into Q3 2010 - is blamed in part on Acer's decision to eschew the CULV chips in favor of low-voltage Calpalla-series processors for their newest TimelineX notebooks.

Lenovo ThinkPad Edge 13″ Review
Having been reasonably surprised by the baby Lenovo ThinkPad X100e, it’s the turn of its larger, Lenovo ThinkPad Edge 13 to hit the SlashGear test bench. As with the X100e, the Edge 13 trades some of Lenovo’s traditional styling in favor of a cheaper price tag and the possibility of a few more mainstream consumer sales. Has it lost its way in the process? Check out the full SlashGear review to find out.

Hanvon BC10C multitouch Win7 tablet gets tested: premium feel
Hanvon's BC10C (and its BA10E sibling) was a surprising stand-out from CeBIT 2010 recently, a multitouch-capable 10-inch slate running Windows 7. jkkmobile managed to bring one home from the show, and has been testing it out to see whether it's all good news. The upside is that media performance - thanks to the 1.3GHz Celeron ULV processor - is decent; the downside is that CULV notebook style components don't add up to extremes of battery life.

Acer Calpella Slim ultraportables coming Q2 as 13, 14 & 15 inchers
Further details on Acer's tipped range of MacBook Air toasting ultraportables have emerged, again courtesy of DigiTimes' shady sources in the notebook industry. According to the latest information, Wistron and Quanta have been roped in to produce the Intel Calpella based machines, which will be available in 13-, 14- and 15-inch sizes and are expected to launch in Q2 2010. The key selling point will be the extreme thinness of the notebooks: less than 1-inch thick at their narrowest point.
Acer ebook reader plans shelved over segment uncertainty
Acer have apparently shelved their ebook reader plans, with company chairman Wang Jeng-tang telling reporters that the ereader market was not yet big enough and that a proven business model had still not been finalized by the industry as a whole. Earlier this year, Acer had announced plans to release a 6-inch ereader - based on an E Ink e-paper panel - by the end of June 2010.

Lenovo ThinkPad X100e Review
Lenovo’s ThinkPad range has a new baby brother, and while the company is now several generations through its IdeaPad netbooks, the ThinkPad X100e is the first CULV-style machine intended for mobile pros.

Lenovo IdeaPad U150 gets reviewed: disappointing keyboard
You know what could be the kiss of death for any Lenovo laptop review? Someone saying it has a "mushy keyboard".

Lenovo ThinkPad X100e gets reviewed: decent on outside, sluggish on inside
Lenovo prompted a few raised eyebrows when they introduced what's basically a CULV ultraportable into their ThinkPad range with the new X100e, leading to all manner of questions as to whether an AMD Athlon Neo processor could satisfy the business segment. Over at Netbooked they've been reviewing the single-core 1.6GHz ThinkPad X100e, and while the physical design shouldn't cause too many sleepless nights for long-time Lenovo lovers, performance leaves plenty to be desired.
