MacBook Air 11.6″ Review
Steve Jobs’ views on budget ultraportable are pretty clear. “We don’t know how to make a $500 computer that’s not a piece of junk,” he told investors back in 2008, and so the new 2010 MacBook Air is neither of those things. Instead, it’s a $999+ slice of instant-on notebook and, if you believe the hyperbole, pulls together the best of Apple’s MacBook range and their best-selling iPad. It doesn’t hurt that it’s almost indecently fabulous looking, too. Check out the SlashGear review of the 11.6-inch MacBook Air 2010 after the cut.
Toshiba AC100 Review
Companion devices come in all shapes and sizes, from big-screen smartphones through tablets to netbooks and ultraportables, but Toshiba is hoping that by borrowing a little of each they’ll find a gap in the market. The Toshiba AC100 looks like a netbook but runs Android, an OS we’re more familiar with on smartphones or, more recently, tablets. The company reckons a traditional keyboard and NVIDIA’s Tegra 2 processor should make the AC100 the best multimedia, browsing and communication ultraportable around, but is Android being asked to do more than it’s currently capable of? Check out the full SlashGear review after the cut.
11.6″ MacBook Air 2010 unboxing
If our hands-on time with the new 2010 MacBook Air models told us anything, it’s that we had to have some for ourself; happily Apple obliged, and so we thought we’d share the unboxing experience with you. As ever, Apple’s packaging design is minimalist, slick and beautiful – just like the new 11.6- and 13.3-inch ultraportables themselves, in fact.
MacBook Air 2010 hands-on
Apple’s “one more thing” today was the company’s new MacBook Air 2010 models, 11.6-inch and 13.3-inch slices of unibody aluminum promising up to 5hrs and 7hrs respectively of wireless browsing time. We’ve just gone hands-on with the pair, and they’re slick, beautiful machines that will likely persuade many Apple Store shoppers just from a quick play in-store.
13.3″ MacBook Air official: 7hr super-slim ultraportable
“What would happen if a MacBook met an iPad?” Steve Jobs asked, with the instant-on, solid-state storage, amazing battery and standby time and thin & light build from the tablet crossing over to an ultraportable. The result is the new MacBook Air, “one of the most amazing things we’ve ever created” according to Jobs: an ultraportable measuring 0.68-inches at its thickest and 0.11-inches at its thinnest. Like the existing Air it has a 13.3-inch LED backlit display, this time running at 1440 x 900.
ASUS Eee PC 1215N Review
The line between a netbook and a notebook used to be pretty straightforward, but with Intel’s increasingly powerful Atom processors and NVIDIA’s ambitious Ion-powered Optimus graphics, the distinction is more blurred. Typifying this new breed of netbook is ASUS’ Eee PC 1215N, a 12.1-inch Seashell-series machine that could well be considered a true ultraportable despite its roughly $500 price tag. Check out the full SlashGear review after the cut.
