The NSW Department of Education and Training has whittled its shortlist of would-be netbook suppliers for its $200 million state-wide deal down from 21 to just six.
The Ubuntu project has published a 'release candidate' or final testing version for the upcoming 9.04 version of its popular Linux distribution.
Fujistu has released details of its first netbook, the M1010, which is available in Australia from today with a price of $700.
NEC announced today it had entered the netbook market, with the release of its 8.9-inch Versa N1100 based on the Intel Atom processor.
The return rate on Linux-powered netbooks may be higher than that for Windows netbooks, but this isn't necessarily a bad thing for Linux, according to Linux vendor Canonical.
Sure, better 3G coverage is good for competition, but it's what you do with the 3G that will ultimately make the difference. As Vodafone expands its network footprint, the practice of selling 3G-enabled netbooks like mobile phones should really resonate with end users.
By choosing the safe Windows XP choice for student laptops, the NSW Department of Education and training is turning its back on the chance to turn hundreds of thousands of students into armchair developers and handcuffing itself to a rocky Windows 7 upgrade path.
Intel fans got together this week in Taipei, Taiwan to attend the Intel Developer Forum, where the company planned to tout its designs on faster, more power-efficient chips and platforms as well as talk about technology trends.
Swelling the ranks of 11.6-inch netbooks, the Asus Eee PC 1101HA impresses with its design and battery, but having to overclock a slower version of Intel's Atom CPU is a dodgy workaround.
Asus hits nearly all the marks in the 1005HA-H, the latest version of its iconic Eee PC, highlighted by a six-hour-plus battery life.
Asus does a good job of combining a netbook and a touchscreen in the Eee PC T91, even if the system hits a couple of first-generation snags.
You'll pay a bit more for the privilege, but the Asus N10 is unique amongst netbooks for its discrete, switchable graphics and extra ports.
Asus packs the same basic components found in other Netbooks into a stylish, slim chassis for a modest premium in price, with some unfortunate keyboard-layout compromises.
