Toshiba have announced a new version of the PortégéR500 ultraportable, which neatly takes the crown as the world’s lightest laptop with a 128GB SSD and DVD SuperMulti drive. Weighing in at 2.4 pounds and just 0.77-inches thick, the 12.1-inch notebook is apparently the first to market with 128GB solid-state storage. In the search for increasingly [...]
MSI’s Wind ultraportable, which had been looking all the more tempting after ASUS revealed pricing for their larger Eee PC 1000-series, was set to launch on June 16th but has obviously experienced some sort of delay. According to MSI’s online store, the new estimated ship date is June 27th. Priced at a lower-than-expected $479.99, MSI [...]
The RazorBook 400 looked to be yet another budget ultraportable consigned to the “Eee rival” pile, until 3K Computers grabbed a niche by slashing its launch price to just $299. That perked some interest, even if the spec sheet wasn’t all that impressive. GottaBeMobile are one of the first sites I’ve seen with [...]
We already know how much it’ll cost (read: plenty) and that its smaller 901 sibling holds up well performance-wise, but so far in-the-wild footage of ASUS’ Eee PC 1000H have been pretty rare. Having gone on sale in Taiwan last Wednesday, TweakTown managed to find someone with stock and have shot an unboxing video together with [...]
Microsoft Origami Experience 2.0 combines four programs that make your ultra-Mobile PC (UMPC) running Windows Vista even easier to use. Origami Experience 2.0 is available as a free download to UMPC owners. Back in January, Origami Experience 2.0 was released to OEMs for potential inclusion in their units and the HTC Shift is probably the [...]
Unsurprisingly the iPhone 3G has overshadowed just about all other news this week, with Steve Jobs taking to the Keynote stage at WWDC 2008 on Monday and announcing Apple’s updated cellphone. Packing 3G, GPS, improved software and more into an only slightly thicker (and curvier) chassis, the iPhone 3G is destined to make waves when [...]
There’s still no official announcement, but an ASUS PR rep has revealed pricing for the Eee PC 901, 1000 and 1000H in the US. We now know that the 901 will come in at $599, the 1000 at $699, and the 1000H at $649. Aside from the 1000H, they’ll be available with Linux or Windows [...]
Back when MSI first announced their Wind budget ultraportable, one of the snarkier parts of the press release was their justification for using a traditional hard-drive rather than flash or SSD storage. MSI described rivals as having “compromised the memory capacity to decrease [their notebooks] in size”, picking instead a 2.5-inch 80GB HDD. Since then the company [...]
According to the latest set of leaked slides, Dell appear to have ditched their “Inspiron Mini” moniker for the company’s upcoming budget ultraportable, and instead picked “Dell E”. The 8.9-inch device will come in three versions, and there will be a “Dell E Slim” notebook with a 12.1-inch display and a chassis just 0.8-inches thick. [...]
It would help if you could understand Italian, but this video from PC Professionale speaks the universal language of “break out the screwdrivers” as it dismantles Acer’s new Aspire One budget ultraportable. There’s good news and bad in terms of upgrade potential; looks like networking and connectivity are most flexible, with storage lagging behind.
