It’s not a proper start to the week if there aren’t a few new Eee PC models to silently weep over, and ASUS hasn’t failed us with the unveiling of the 1000HD XP, 904HD XP, 901 XP and 900 XP (16G). Fresh to the Taiwanese market, it’s unclear whether the four will make it to [...]
Despite the Vista debacle, Microsoft is planning on unveiling some of the features of their upcoming Windows 7 operating system at an upcoming conference. Rumor has it that since Vista wasn’t as successful as the company had hoped, they’re striving to be more forthcoming this time around.
As expected, aigo held a press launch for their P8860 MID today in Hong Kong, at the Mongkok MK1 Super Digital Mall. Sadly SlashGear wouldn’t pay for me to fly there, but UMPC Fever stopped by to watch aigo execs take the wraps off of the 4.8-inch touchscreen Silverthorne device. They also managed to score [...]
After Microsoft and the OLPC project made their OS deal official, we all knew Windows XP was going to end up on the XO-1 notebook. Laptop Mag scored an invite to check out the system, which will begin shipping with XP as a dual-boot option in September. XP runs from a separate SD card hidden [...]

This past week we’ve been able to take a closer look and get a hands-on with the Toshiba Satellite Pro U400. Having already shown you the unboxing, it was time to see just how usable the U400 was in practice. We had high hopes for portability, and we weren’t disappointed; this small laptop hasn’t been hard to carry [...]
Achieving the balance between flexibility and ease of use isn’t straightforward, as Microsoft have found with their Windows Mobile OS. Yes, there’s bags of functionality and a whole army of developers creating add-ons, but the result can be intimidating and actually make completing simple tasks harder. The company appears to be going more context-specific 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 [...]
