NEC announced today it had entered the netbook market, with the release of its 8.9-inch Versa N1100 based on the Intel Atom processor.
Taiwanese chip manufacturer Via Technologies has released a new energy efficient CPU, the Via Nano, which will go head-to-head with Intel's latest mobile processor the Atom.
Asus packs the same basic components found in other Netbooks into a stylish, slim chassis for a modest premium in price, with some unfortunate keyboard-layout compromises.
HP may have arrived late to the consumer netbook game, but by lifting the generous keyboard from last year's business-oriented model, the Mini 1000 easily joins the category's top tier.
The Dell Inspiron Mini 9 is a prime example of the netbook form factor, and the best 8.9-inch one available.
The Eee is now faster, looks nicer, and has better battery life. It's also heavier and the keyboard is still too small, but we like it. A lot.
What a difference a year can make. Toshiba's R400 made quite the impression when it was launched a small, lightweight, brilliantly sensitive tablet that packed in features with some serious style. Now, it's boxy and large for what's offered inside, and is seriously out of style and overpriced.
