OQO dazzles us with their updated e2 UMPC, with added HSDPA
Alex actually got a preview of the e2 from OQO a few months back, but on Monday, the company updated it with HSDPA capabilities.
Still running on Windows XP, and with a 120GB HD, 1.6GHz VIA C7M ULV processor, it measures 142mm x 84mm x 25mm and weighs just 0.5kg.
The Ultra Mobile PC (UMPC) is not only compatible with UMTS/HSDPA (at 2100MHz), but also at the slightly lower GPRS/EDGE connectivity (specifically…

Toshiba aims on saving the environment with their Carbon Zero offset scheme
A few weeks back I criticised Sony for donating just 1% of the profits made on their Vaio FZ Graphic Splash Eco Edition laptops to green charities, of which I got lampooned by a reader for doing so. He probably thought I am a Microsoft/Toshiba/HD-DVD fangirl, which is obviously why I spoke negatively of Sony (typical Sony fanboy mentality).
Well, admittedly I am the aforementioned fangirl, but had it been any company, I still would’ve pulled them up on being stingy. And I’m going to prove so, by slagging Toshiba off for just the same reasons.
From today, Tosh is now offering customers the option to offset the carbon dioxide produced when making their laptops, by asking for £1.18 which will go…
Review: ASUS Eee PC 4G is the little laptop that deserves to be huge
You gets what you pays for, right? Which is why if you want an ultraportable laptop with a decent battery life and wireless capabilities, you pay through the nose. Until now, anyway. The ASUS Eee PC is a small, light Linux-based laptop selling in the UK for £219, but with features you’d expect to see in something double its price.
The question is whether its small size means a too-cramped keyboard, whether it’s powerful enough to run all the applications you’d want, and whether its battery life is up to the job. Does it deliver? Read on for my verdict on the 4G model.
ASUS denies 10-inch Eee PC reports as OS X Leopard squeezes onto 7-inch model
I could rhapsodise for hours about the new ASUS Eee PC, and I will in my full review early next week. But suffice to say I’m sold on the pint-sized Linux laptop’s charms. So are plenty of other people, judging by the blogosphere buzz.
Sony to give a MASSIVE 1% of their Vaio FZ Graphic Splash Eco Edition laptop sales to green charities
Nice product photography doesn’t detract from just how lame Sony’s claim is that they’re helping the environment with these Vaio laptops.
They’ve just announced the Vaio FZ Graphic Splash Eco Edition laptops to help quench Greenpeace’s rumours that they’re the least green company around save the environment, and admittedly are completely reaching for ideas. Claims that the ‘slim design for minimum use of natural resources’…
