1) PcMag.com Dell Inspiron Mini 9 Review

The Mini 9 is similar in build to its peers. It measures 6.8 by 9.2 by 1 inches, a bit bigger than the ASUS EeePC 900 (6.6 by 8.7 by 0.8 inches) but more compact than the Acer Aspire One (6.7 by 9.7 by 1 inches). Its 2.3-pound frame is in line with the other UMPCs. The MSI Wind is slightly heavier because of its 10-inch screen, while the HP 2133 Mini-Note’s 3.2-pound weight can be attributed to a bigger battery and a glass screen.

“…the 8.9-inch 1,024×600-pixel screen shares space with a Webcam above and two small speaker grilles below. The display offers just enough space for displaying Web pages and Word documents, and we think the 9-inch size is the perfect fit for Netbooks, rather than the smaller 7-inch or larger 10-inch screens on other systems.”

“The Mini 9 comes preloaded with dozens of useful applications for everything from work and email to listening to music and watching movies. Unlike the many free applications that come pre-installed on Windows-based computers, almost none of the applications on the Ubuntu operating system should be considered “bloatware.” In fact, almost every application on this netbook is both useful and easy to use.”

I will try to maintain these roundups in next weeks, if you any suggestion for me do not hesitate and leave me a comment.

Three days ago, according to PC Word, Lenovo comfirmed that they will announce a new smartbook at Consumer Electronics Show in January.

The smartbook basically has a ARM processor and it will not have a Microsoft Operating System. The price and other things still do not known but we know that we can het more info at CES 2010 from Lenovo.

For more details reat it on PC World.

The HP Mini 311 lets in a criterion set of associations for a $399 Netbook (entry-level models under $300 perhaps tempted to drop one of the USB ports or HDMI output). Still, extras such as 802.11n Wi-Fi and Bluetooth will price extra. Although not as customizable as Dell’s Netbook line, there are alternatives for the CPU, networking, and mobile broadband.

At tasks which are not graphics-intensive, the Intel Atom N280 CPU executed as anticipated, approximately matching other Netbooks. As all of the time, we conceive Atom-powered systems to be fine for basic tasks such as Web surfing, email, and office tasks, and even basic Photoshop work–as long as your expectations are kept modest.

Putting the Nvidia Ion to the test, we did the unthinkable, loading a handful of fully fledged PC games on a Netbook. Most Netbooks can hardly deal with occasional games such as Plants vs. Zombies, to say nothing of full 3D graphics. In spite of the hype, this is definitely not gonna be your main PC gaming rig, however Unreal Tournament still managed to get 23.2 frames per second at 800×600, which is borderline acceptable. Tweaking the settings could likely squeeze a bit more out of that game. We also installed Call of Duty 4, and during a particularly intensive firefight sequence, we ran into some stuttering at the same 800×600 resolution, but overall found it to be fairly playable (though your definition of playable may alter).

The main triumph for Netbooks is still to be useful all-round devices, and as the Nvidia Ion parcels much of its DNA with the GeForce 9400 graphics found in the 13-inch MacBook (which is fabulous for a merged graphics solution), the real bottleneck to accomplishing this aim is the 1GB of RAM and the single-core Atom CPU. We would be very concerned in seeing how the same gaming tests run under Windows 7 with double the RAM.

I guess netbook market will continue to grow, while the economic recession maintain and people will love to use small ultra-portable devices which have also better battery life. What do you think can you share us about your thought about netbooks ?
