Samsung's NC10 netbook has barely been out long enough to get a footing in the market, and already we're learning of its natural successor. The NC20 will reportedly hit the ground running in February, and with it will come a 1.3GHz VIA Nano U225 processor, a 12.1-inch display, 160GB hard drive, 1GB of RAM, Bluetooth 2.0, 80 (Read More)

: Which brings us to the whole "is it a netbook at that size." It certainly is underpowered but a little big for a netbook. Samsung though has some good designs.

Asus has said they will be pushing their price point down in 2009, possibly to escape the overcrowded $300-$400 netbook arena and compete against the far less capable pocket PCs and smartphones that go for two Benjamins. They haven’t said much aside from that, but could it be that the changes they’re making to t (Read More)

The folks over at Laptop have gotten some quality face time with a pre-production model of ASUS' 10-inch Eee PC 1002 HA, and they seem to like a lot of what they're seeing. It boasts stylings reminiscent of both the Eee PC S101 (trackpad) and the 1000H (keyboard), and as such is basically a hybridized version of the two, th (Read More)

I realize that I may not know enough, but does Windows 7 offer any radically different stuff? I mean I am one of the few people who likes Vista, but how exactly is Windows 7 more than a sort of addon? I always feel that instead of a new OS, Windows 7 is what Vista wanted to be. We were promised a completely redesigned and d (Read More)

: Actually, it is - I use Vista because I basically felt I had to in order to get my mindset ready for my clients' eventual transition to it.Mind you, what I know about Windows 7 is only from other people - but those other people are the likes of Paul Thurrott, who talks about it extensively on the Windows Weekly podcast - and his website at www.winsupersite.com. The reason I like Paul? He makes a living talking about Microsoft stuff, but he's no fanboy. I've heard him rail about the ridiculousness (is that a word?) of some of Microsoft's decisions regarding product, development, marketing, any number of topics. In any event, there is apparently no piece of code in this operating system that hasn't been given a "once-over". This is a much needed code tune-up over previous versions - to the extent that it may have even less in the way of hardware requirements than Vista did. I do like my linuxes (Centos/Red Hat for servers, Ubuntu for desktop mostly) but I can't get the vast majority of my clients to go there - so I need to be familiar with the latest from Redmond, no matter what it is. In this case, I'm actually looking forward to it.

: I listen to Leo Laporte's podcasts available on iTunes and on his TWIT podcast recently he had some people on that actually have the 650G HD loaded with Win7. I wish I had it on me right now, but I believe they said it has an amazing new toolbar and used a lot less resources then Vista, so little infact, that it can be used on a netbook. Not bad.....I use Vista on my HP Pavillion notebook, and it runs GREAT...so I don't feel a need to upgrade when it comes out. But as for XP users waiting for a good reason to move up...they may want to wait.

: Microsoft like Apple is taking the time to clean up there code and make things efficient. As we move from powerhouse computers on our desktop to smaller portable machines the more efficient and seamless between platforms they can make it the better. Microsoft got burned by touting new features in vista and not delivering so they may be in a under promise, over deliver mode now. I'm excited to hear they are slimming things down again. Vista and Leopard, though great operating systems, seem to require far to many resources and lots of tweaking to get them to an efficeent level of use. Even XP is tweaked by many to eliminate excess resource usage. I would agree though that it's early and Microsoft may come up with something truly inovative for Windows 7.
