Just yesterday ASUS launched the T91MT over in the US making it available to buy from Amazon.com. If you have your eye on the new Tablet netbook and are not sure how the multi-touch interface works then check out the video below.

The T91MT runs the Windows 7 Home Premium operating system that allows a number of multi-touch functions to work on the device. A look at the video shows that it runs quite smoothly although I’d prefer to see it actually running live than seeing a promotional video. [Read more…]

Netbooks have taken off over the last 18 months or so which is due to their small size and good usability. HTC mentioned recently that they want to be part of this when Peter Chou mentioned the are… “carefully looking into that category and how it can be part of that”. What HTC are not doing is becoming another me-too though by just creating another Netbook. What HTC want to do is something unique that makes their netbook range stand-out from the others.

No dates of release are known yet and it is also unknown exactly what they are working on although I’d say we can expect some good power, storage, a decent touchscreen for perhaps a HTC tablet. [Read more…]

A user over on the notebookreview forums spotted a page on the HP site listed the name of the HP Envy 14. If you are wanting a HP Envy notebook sometime soon then it might be worth holding off to see what the Envy 14 has that the 13 and 15 don’t. The file on the HP site indicates possibly two models as listed below…

SysId62=0x1436
SysName62=HP ENVY 14-1000
SysId63=0x1437
SysName63=HP ENVY 14-1000

Right now there is only speculation on the forums about what will be included in the HP Envy 14 with one user suggesting the following… “Lets hope has battery life that can match the Envy 13 but maybe a dual core i5/i7(hopefully a quad core i7 or if possible a mobile quad core i5?), and i’d be even content with ATI 4330 gpu.” [Read more…]

Designer Je Sung Park has designed a new laptop that is recyclable due to it being made of paper. The idea behind it is that the average laptop could last anywhere from 2 to 5 years and then need to be replaced which ads a lot of harmful waste to the environment.

The laptop is made from pulp and reprocessed materials which when broken down a few years (perhaps weeks if it’s paper based) would then just be taken back down to it’s basic form and re-processed. [Read more…]

Sprint have announced that they are offering an EVDO enabled netbook in the form of the Dell Inspiron Mini 10. The netbook costs $199.99 after a $100 mail-in rebate and will set you back $59.99 on a 24 month contract that will provide 5GB of data per month.

The Mini 10 netbook has a 10.1 inch screen that has a resolution of 1024 x 600 pixels. Powering the netbook is an Intel Atom Z520 processor running at 1.33GHz along with 1GB of RAM and a 160GB harddrive.

Connectivity wise it has wireless at b/g speeds along with the integrated EVDO Rev.A for hooking up to mobile networks while on the move. Separately the netbook costs $349 if ordered direct from Dell, so you do save a bit on the netbook although you are locked in to a 24 month contract in getting the cheaper price. [Read more…]

When working on a netbook you often run in to the problem of not having enough screen estate. To tackle this problem a company have created a dual-screen netbook that allows you to view two 10.1 inch screens side by side that then slide one behind the other when not needed. By giving you an extra screen you get more screen estate, thus making your work on a netbook a little more productive.

Examples of usage could be putting an Excel spreadsheet on the left screen while taking notes on the right screen, or perhaps browsing on one screen while watching a video on the second.

The netbook doesn’t look as flimsy as I expected from what I see in the video and actually seems to work quite well. It is unclear what battery life will be like on a dual screen netbook but if they can get that to be an acceptable level this thing “could” sell. [Read more…]

The Nokia Booklet 3G is soon to launch. Engadget in Spain managed to get their hands on a Nokia Booklet 3G for unboxing to see what it’s all about. Installed on the Booklet was Windows 7 Home Premium which is a step in the right direction from Best Buy which were showing a Windows 7 Starter Edition.

The video is after the jump, but for now a quick run down of the specs shows that the Booklet 3G weighs 1250g max, measures 264 x 185 x 19.9 mm, runs an Intel Atom Z530 1.6GHz processor and has 1GB of RAM. [Read more…]
