- I'm typing this post on the Acer Aspire One that I've been using nonstop since Acer sent me a review unit and just read an interesting article in PC World Canada about the potential security risks associated with netbooks. The author calls netbooks a "potential security nightmare," citing a...

- Malibal Veda series
- It seems that boutique notebook builder Malibal (pronounced mal-la-bull) is ready to see desktops die. The company specializes in custom-built desktop replacements. No thin-and-lights. No ultraportables. No "mainstream" models. The Veda series is its largest, with an 18.4-inch LCD that can be loaded with Core 2 Quad Extreme QX9300 (ours...

- Sony announces 11.1" VAIO X ultraportable: Intel Atom, 1.5 lbs.

- Netbooks with Nvidia's Ion wait on Windows 7
- Nvidia's Ion platform may be off to a slow start, but that could change once Windows 7 arrives in late October. To date Ion has been used only in nettops--including two new ones from Asus and Lenovo--but the first netbooks should finally arrive around the time Microsoft releases its new...

- Acer's Aspire 1410 is a notebook in a netbook's body
- We've seen netbooks such as the Dell Mini Inspiron 12 (R.I.P.) and Lenovo IdeaPad S12 in the guise of 12.1-inch ultraportables. Now Acer is trying the reverse--a notebook with the same display size as its Aspire One 751h netbook. Rumors about an Acer 11.6-inch laptop have been...

- Why not all 12-inch netbooks are the same
- I've been skeptical of 12-inch netbooks, especially as prices for real notebooks continue to fall fast. At that size, netbooks start to run up against laptops, so it's no surprise that the PC industry is feeling its way. Acer has been selling an 11.6-inch model since May, but Asus has...

- Acer Aspire One 751h-1545
- The definition of a Netbook keeps getting fuzzier around the edges, with displays growing from the original 7-inch designs, and the selection of CPUs expanding to include Intel, AMD, and Via. If we are to take 12-inch systems such as the HP dv2 and Samsung NC20 as Netbooks (we've so...

- Cheaper ultraportables meet more powerful netbooks
- There are two ways to address the limitations of netbooks: 1.) offer less-costly notebooks, or 2.) give netbooks a little more muscle. Both are now happening. The ultra-thin laptops based on Intel's ULV processors or AMD's Athlon Neo are an obvious alternative to netbooks, and they've already...

- Intel announced its latest ultra low-voltage ULV processors at the start of the Computex trade show in Taiwan this week.

- New alternatives to netbooks (and pricey laptops)
- Intel thinks business may be starting to pick up, but computer makers aren't as optimistic. Sales are slow in all categories and even Intel now concedes that one bright spot, netbooks, is cutting into sales of higher-priced laptops to some degree. That's bad news if you are, say, Dell. But...

- Toshiba Portege R600-ST520W
- Before the influx of low-cost Netbooks, small, thin laptops then called ultraportables were typically very expensive. Now, however, it's a little trickier to slap a high price on something just because it's small and light. Toshiba is banking on people realizing that small is one thing, but small, secure, and...

- Living with a netbook: The performance penalty

- Living with a netbook: Toy or tiny notebook?
- There is no denying the popularity of netbooks, but there's still much debate about who's buying them and for what purpose. Netbooks were conceived for emerging markets--along the lines of the OLPC's XO laptop and Intel's Classmate PC--but they turned out to be more popular in developed countries. More recently,...
