Dell's Inspiron Mini series gets a bit bigger: the Mini 12
Dell seems quite content to put its new 12.1-inch screen computer in the Inspiron Mini category, even though there are plenty of standard notebook computers with similar sized screens.
An upgrade in size and specs from last month’s Mini 9, it features an Atom Z520 running 1.33GHz or Z530 at 1.6GHz, 1GB of RAM, 60GB hard drive, and Vista Home Basic operating system…

Apple beefs up MacBook Air with more storage and better graphics, but it's still thin
The original MacBook Air launched just over eight months ago, claiming to be the thinnest and lightest laptop available.
It came with either 80GB hard drive or 64GB solid state drive (at a price), 2GB of RAM, 13.3-inch widescreen display, and Core 2 Duo processor.
Today, Apple unveiled its successor, offering more memory and beefier graphics for around the same price. It’s still bank-account-drainingly-expensive, but chic always costs…
Turn your iPhone into a netbook with OLO Computer
Are you ready for the unholy matrimony of two of the year’s biggest technology trends? That’s right – soon you’ll be able to turn your iPhone into a Eee PC-style netbook. Simply slot your iPhone into the space where the trackpad normally sits, and then enjoy all your applications with a full mechanical keyboard and 8.9″ screen.
It’s a little bit reminiscent of the ill-fated Palm Foleo, which could have been the first netbook, but was instead cancelled after a wave of criticism along the lines of “but no-one would want to carry a tiny notebook computer around!”. I bet Palm are cursing the Eee PC every day…
Sony launches VAIO NS1 notebooks and JS1 all-in-one desktop PCs
Sony continues to speed ahead with the rollout of its new VAIO range of PCs, with the introduction of the NS1 Series of notebook PCs and the JS1 Series of all-in-one desktops.
Sony states that the PCs are designed for everyday home use, which would suggest that they’re not the most powerful systems the company has ever produced. They’re no pushovers either.
The NS1 Series of notebook PCs feature an Intel Core 2 Duo T5800 processor, 4GB RAM, 320GB hard drive, a Blu-ray combo drive, 15.4-inch X-black 1,280 x 800 LCD, and ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3430 graphics unit…
Sony unveil the Vaio TT – the world's lightest laptop with Blu-ray
This is the 11.1″ Sony Vaio TT notebook PC. Nice, isn’t it? Sony reckons it’s the world’s lightest notebook PC that has a Blu-ray option. I’m not going to test them on that – I’ll just take them at their word. You’re not lying to me, are you Sony…?
Samsung X460 14" laptop – portable, but not a mobile phone
Doesn’t anyone at Samsung search for their product names on Google before releasing them? The Samsung X460, as well as being a new laptop, is also a mobile phone. It’s not even a good mobile phone…
Shiny Video Preview: HP HDX16 and HDX18 Premium Laptops
As well as getting a look at the HP TouchSmart IQ800 yesterday, I also got to have a sneaky peek at HP’s new series of HDX Premium laptops, and gosh they’re swish. Very sleek design, Apple-style light-up logo, titanium casing, and swooshes across the trackpad below the keyboard. Beautiful…
Samsung R610: 16" Blu-ray multimedia laptop
Given that we were talking about the difference between ‘traditional’ 16:10 displays and “full HD” 16:9 displays just last week, it’s rather convenient that Samsung have decided to announce the R610, a 16:9 Blu-ray multimedia laptop with a 16″ screen. Not the Samsung R610 mobile phone. I hate it when companies do that…
HP Elitebook 6930p with 24hr battery life is the Jack Bauer of laptops
That’s right – 24 hours. What could you do on a laptop in 24 hours? You could listen to 432 songs, or watch 11 films, or even make money on the internet. Except you probably couldn’t do those things, because published battery life always assumes a computer just sitting there, not doing anything. Using speakers, WiFi or the DVD drive, or anything will drain that battery faster…
