Archos‘ attempts at traditional notebook/netbook form-factors hasn’t exactly been a runaway success so far, but they could have better luck with the new Archos A13PS. Set to go on sale in April 2010, the A13PS distinguishes itself by using Intel’s D510 processor, more commonly found in nettops than notebooks.
Someone at Acer US should check their calendar, because while the company’s TimelineX notebooks aren’t expected to make their official debut until March 22nd, they’ve already shown up on the company’s site. As expected, along with the 13.3-inch TimelineX 1830T from yesterday, there’s also a 13.3-inch TimelineX 3820T, 14-inch TimelineX 4820T and a 15.6-inch TimelineX 5820T.
Update: Looks like whoever is responsible for the site has spotted the error – the new machines have been taken down.

Remember yesterday's Acer Aspire TimelineX 1830T leak, the first of the company's so-called Calpella series using Intel Core i3 and Core i5 processors we've been hearing about lately? According to DigiTimes' sources, we shouldn't have to wait too long to find out about its siblings; the rest of the TimelineX line is expected to get official on March 22nd, with 13, 14 and 15-inch models.
ViewSonic’s latest notebooks and all-in-one desktop have finally gone on sale after being unveiled at CES 2010 back in January. The ViewSonic VNB132 ViewBook and VNB141 ViewBook have 13.3- and 14-inch displays respectively and use Intel’s CULV processors, while the ViewSonic VPC190 All-In-One has an 18.5-inch display and an Intel Atom D510 processor.
Details of Acer’s first Calpella-based ultraportable have emerged, ahead of the notebook’s expected announcement in the last week of this month. The 11-inch Acer Aspire TimelineX 1830T eschews the CULV CPUs of its predecessors and instead reaches for Intel’s Core i5-520UM, with a basic clock speed of 1.06GHz but the potential for 1.86GHz with Turbo Boost. Meanwhile battery life is rated at up to 8hrs.
A new Consumer Reports survey has put Apple comfortably ahead of Lenovo, Toshiba, Dell and other computer manufacturers for after sales care, with consistently strong performance in phone support, online support and general problem-solving ability. The results lend further weight to Apple’s all-encompassing hardware and software experience, reducing the amount of bounce between companies that PC notebook owners are often faced with.
There’s no mistaking Viewsonic’s design inspiration. From the Apple-style packaging to the brushed-metal finish of the VNB131 itself, this is most definitely a MacBook wannabe. Still, if you’re going to base your product on a rival, you could do far worse than choose Cupertino’s finest, so the question has to be whether the Viewsonic VNB131 lives up to the standard. Check out the full SlashGear review after the cut.
Acer have confirmed their rumored Calpella ultra-thin plans, paving the way for a range of speedy yet ultraportable notebooks launching later this month. Acer CEO Gianfranco Lanci announced the decision at the firm’s investors conference recently; the outspoken exec confirmed that notebooks using Intel’s latest Core i-Series processors were on their way, faster than their SU-Series predecessors yet without impacting on the 8+ hour battery life.
iBuyPower surely didn’t expect a name could really be so, well, striking. One of the brave reviewers at Laptop Magazine has been left a nasty cut by the company’s Battalion laptop, (the Touch CZ-10), due to the peeling off of the computer’s sharp-edged aluminum logo.
HP have announced the EliteBook 2740p, a 12.1-inch ultrathin convertible tablet which supports multitouch together with pen input. Inside there are Intel’s latest Core i7 and Core i5 processors, along with up to 8GB of DDR3 memory, Intel HD graphics and a choice of up to 320GB HDD or 160GB SSD. Check out more details and some hands-on first-impressions after the cut.
