Let’s put the differences with ChromeOS aside for a litte, and concentrate on the hardware, which is important enough to be looked at. At least that’s what I had in plans for today — giving the Samsung Chromebook the time and attention it deserves. Tech Specs Samsung’s stab at Chrome OS based netbooks will be powered by an Intel Atom N570, Dual Core 1.66 GHz CPU. I wouldn’t expect much…

This friday arrived a bit late thanks to an unforeseeable accident that happened to my scan-HQ MacBook Pro. Nonetheless, it’s going to be one of the more interesting netbook fridays, as Asus (maker of the original netbook) went ahead and reached a spot they seldom venture to; they innovated. Asus EEE PC X101 definitely seems to be the result of a Netbook 101 class held by Acer D255E. It’s slick,…

The following (hand drawn, gets bigger on click) illustration shows what the best netbook is like. A little explanation to each point to let you see their importance, and how they contribute to a netbook…

Lenovo Thinkpad X220 represents this years’ edition of X series ThinkPads. The company tends to release a new laptop with the latest and greatest pieces of technology that recently became available, roughly on a yearly basis. X200 and X201 gave a taste of what the series is going to be like; if those were tasters, X220 is a three course diet dinner prepared by Gordon Ramsay’s non-swearing identical twin brother….

Friday is Netbook day as always. It’s the sixth installment of Netbook weekly if I’m counting right, of which the chance of happening is on its way to reaching zero. That aside, this week I’m going to tackle one of the most compelling reasons to go netbook. Even if not exclusively, a netbook is good to have if you’re a creative type person. Why?
