Asus Eee PC 901 and 1000 are not even in the retail market yet for North America and other places, reports are surfacing that Asus is prepping Eee PC 904 and 905. The report also indicates that Asus will be using similar chassis and keyboard that are on to Eee PC 1000 while keeping the [...]
Good news and bad in MSI Wind world. After the recent delay, with MSI blaming battery shortages and claiming the budget ultraportable would ship today, the notebook has made it to the FCC for the usual round of photos and prodding. Unfortunately the company has missed another shipping date; pre-orders were meant to hit customers today, the [...]
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 [...]
If the ASUS Eee 900 basically amounted to a larger-screened version of the 7-inch original, then the Eee 901 marks its graduation into a distinct model. Packing Intel’s latest 1.6GHz Atom N270 processor, in place of the 900’s Celeron 900MHz, ASUS could reasonably have left the rest of the notebook the same and simply added [...]
Kohjinsha are no strangers to the pages of SlashGear, and given their track record of producing interesting ultraportable tablets it’s little surprise that they’ve had a try at Atom-based ultraportables. The SC3 and SX3 are two compact convertibles, the former with a 7-inch 1024 x 600 touchscreen and the latter with an 8.9-inch 1280 x [...]
The lure of modifying the Eee 1000H was already too much for the TweakTown boys - after all, they’d hardly had ASUS’ largest budget ultraportable in the building for a few days before wiping XP and trying out Vista - but they’ve since taken things one step further and cracked open the casing to take [...]
We weren’t expecting much in the way of a release from e-detail, despite them showing the Prezenter PSR dual-display Tablet PC at CES earlier on in the year. The concept is that you have a large screen which faces your audience and a poseable 7-inch mini-touchscreen that flips down at the back to let you [...]
Hopefully VIA know - and sanction- what their marketing team is up to, as Tim Brown could be in some trouble otherwise for taking apart the company’s OpenBook reference budget ultraportable and filming the whole operation. Tim’s intention is to show off the flexibility of the design; rather than soldering all of the connectivity options [...]
Lenovo’s upcoming ThinkPad X200 ultraportable, which was recently tipped in a company presentation, has been spotted and profiled by 51nb, a Chinese notebook forum. Not only did they dig up two new images of the ultraportable, but the spec sheet too; we now know that it uses a 45nm Intel Centrino 2 + VPro Core [...]
The Flybook V5 ultraportable Tablet PC isn’t exactly new - in fact we first saw it reviewed this time last year - but it’s so far only been available in the US through importers such as iCube. Now manufacturer Dialogue are officially selling it, with a top-whack price tag of $2,900. For that you get [...]
