Computing is absolutely essential these days. It is an absolute competitive necessity both in this country and in many developing countries to have a computer in order to be able to excel in school, research new information, and stay on the cutting edge. Not having a computer can shut all sorts of doors as many business and bill based activities have now primarily migrated online, most research and news is now disseminated online, and many jobs are exclusively available online. In addition many employers are specifically looking for computer skills and so if you do not have your own computer odds are you will be disadvantaged in computer proficiency. Given this it is very important for everyone and particularly children in this country to have access to computers. For this to be the case we definitely need options beyond the expensive laptops and desktops out there as these are cost prohibitive for some of the most disadvantage people. As such the EEE PC provides an incredibly pivotal role by making computing accessible and available to those with lower income. This is a very important step in giving them the tools needed to begin getting ahead. This device can surf the web and do all the basics of computing needed to get ahead.

But about which one to buy.. Asus is the marked leader but the netbooks from Acer – including the Acer Aspire One  – are equally good in most points. Most Eee PCs and Acer One’s use the same hardware, so the main concern is the battery and form factor., Choose the one that looks better for you – or have the most cells and Amps in the battery, so it will last longer. Concerning battery the Asus EeePc’s er typcially better than the Acer One Aspire.. E.g. the Asus Eee PC 1000HE has very good battery where the Acer Aspire One 120 and Acer Aspire One 150 only last halv as long.. So go with the Asus Eee PC to be on the safe side

Now you can buy a Dell Netbook for direct delivery in IE through Dell’s own website!

It costs 3600, –
which will not work crazy cheap compared to Asus Eee PCs, or so many other Netbook. But it must probably have a nice bit of mini-note market anyway, purely in the good name of Dell are among many. The quality of Dell’s machines have generally been volatile the last year, but everything suggests that it remains above average – so it probably applies also to mininote’n Dell Inspiron Mini 9.

The new addition to the shift from VIA for Intel CPU – so now they are more like everyone else. In this case it is an advantage to be as boring as everyone else, since Vista was hard diet of the little VIA cpu, which was the brain of the old HP Netbook. NOW available on both Vista and XP with and I would clearly go for XP model, though I opposed many others have nothing special to Vista – but it’s just too heavy for a sleepy miniput CPU that Intel Atom is purely actually.

The old mini-note was highly commended for the keyboard, which would be the best in class. It is of course unchanged – if it aint broke, do not fix it!

Moreover, one could get the high resolution of the screen – and it can also still – in fact even higher than the old Netbook, along with the cheaper model with the ordinary, small opsløning ..

Asus Eee Top looks rather cool off – both design and in terms of price / setup.

It builds on the Eee hardware, so it’s not exactly a force karl, like Asus’ Eee PC does not it – or any other Netbook / mini-notes, for that matter. But it only cost 5000, – for a complete setup with 15 “touch screen with embedded PC and smart mouse / statatur. So you can already begin to dream kitchen machine or family bulletin board in the digital way.

Specs on the Asus Eee Top is:

• 1.6 GHz Intel Atom N270
• Windows XP
• 15.6 “touch screen with opløsnign 1366 × 768 px
• 1.3 MP webcam
• Intel GMA 950 grafikchip
• 1 GB RAM
• 160GB hard drive, 5400 RPM
• 802.11b WiFi
• External power connector
• Power consumption idle / load: 35/37, 9 watts

PcWorld has written a lengthy review in which they writes:

Niche Product or every cool?

A final assessment of the Asus Eee Top is difficult to come to because the computer puts itself between two stools.

On the one hand, Eee Top a somewhat half-hearted bid for a touch-PC, where you quite regularly will experience frustration that you are forced to keep a keyboard and mouse on a string.

Moreover the obvious hardware limitations, which means that the PC is only suitable for very basic needs.

Showing good rates
If you and / or your family already holds one or two computers, the Eee Top, however, be an entertaining and different expansion of home computer equipment.

But otherwise, there is good reason to let our eyes dwell on alternatives that something near the same price offers better expansion options and more horsepower.

We reward Asus Eee Top with a 3-figure since it is a means of product without the big gestures.

The touch-sensitive computer displays good rates to the price, and a more consistent user interface in the future might mean that HP will take the competition very seriously.

So far remains Eee Top nevertheless a very interesting PC supplements that appeal to a relatively limited audience.

The XO laptop machine “$ 100 laptop” from OLPC

From today you can buy an XO PC, which is the OLPC project’s current model !

The project originally called the “$ 100 laptop”, but was later renamed to “One Laptop Per Child” because the vision to keep it under $ 100 are not met.
Since OLPC started the hype around a super cheap PC, somalle developing countries could afford (or other we could afford to donate to them), who began the wave of research at the various PC manufacturers around the world with the aim of low ultra cheap laptop. Intel had originally with the OLPC project, but sprang from and started their own development but with a slightly different focus developing countries: cheap laptop for classrooms. While no one other than directors are familiar with the background, there are many who believe that the OLPC project in this way was to shoot the entire NETBOOK / mini-note market in time, not least, Asus Eee PC is actually done well selling regularly.

The purpose of the OLPC’s XO-computer is still charity by bringing PCs to the developing world and thus make them competitive in the modern world. Therefore we can not just buy an XO from OLPC, but will donate one to buy one himself. It costs around 2500, – for 2 machines , One of which therefore donated for the good purpose!

What about the specifications of XO’en? On paper, is at the very first glance nothing to boast of. BUT purpose is completely different than the general Netbook. OLPC’s XO is stable and reliable and with long battery life. The screen is 7.5 “are great, unique, and can both serve as a fairly standard color as well as a black-white monitor with high resolution of 1200 x 900i 200DPI! Super sharp and as one of the few screens as possible to read in direct and strong sunshine. Then you must prove your latest rock climbing or jeep-safari in the desert, it is an XO from OLPC you must ha ‘get in. Battery life has also had to be good, since the screen for example only uses max 1 Watt, by that I mean when you need to have the backlight turned on and there are no moving parts, which sucks power, such as a standard hard drive .. The whole is much more durable than we usually know, including with plastic in a little less than double thickness.

Bluetooth and bigger HD welcome improvements over the Medion Akoya they had for sale earlier this year. They also writes: “Li-ion battery with high performance” .. Arhhh … See IT is enough to take your mouth a little too full! The emphasis suggests that this is just a 3-cell battery on this machine. And it is clearly the biggest drawback to using it ..

I am “obviously” Eee PC fan – but the reason for choosing Medion Akoya offer of Asus Eee PC 901′eren should be screen size and possible. use too much hard disk space (which, however, is the unsustainable ordinary kind, rather than the shock-SSD model as most Asus Eee PC’s running with). An extra inch does not sound much, but look out more – so dependent on using the COULD be important. For mail, and Word is I do not care. Should I rather read a very, very much text on the train or correct a bit graphics (NOT design – that you must not fool yourself in that you can be on any of them), then I would like to have the extra inch to “get magnified image up “..
But the extra inch does so only 3-cell battery even more miserable, because the screen is a vicious bloodsucker. So my guess is that battery last for approx. An hour of concentrated use, while Asus Eee PC should keep 4-5 x as much time ..

Are you looking for one of the slightly larger Netbook / mini-notes – in other words. with 10-inch display, you can check out a notification, I just fell over. Here is Asus largest NETBOOK Asus Eee PC vs. 1000h. MSI Wind. The specifications are very similar, as are the price. Still, there is a difference between the two machines – which hiver a scant victory home to the MSI Wind in the following notifier.

Note: Denmark is currently the only Asus Eee PC 900 and Asus Eee PC 701SD, which is on the market – Asus Eee PC 1000h So parallel imported from England for example. It should also be relatively easy to do. So if you go in thinking, you can read the full notification here (which are related to an earlier case):

LG’s Eee PC “killer” known as the LG X110 just looks like a MSI Wind – and rumors are also that MSI stands for (most of) production.

Unlike previous rumors, believe Engadget, however, only the machine as standard comes with the standard 1GB of RAM ..

I fell over this comparison of UMPC’er in sunlight. Unfortunately, the Asus Eee PC, MSI Wind and Acer One can not – so dramatically interesting, it is not .. But you will go into purchasing thoughts on the UMPC market and want something more powerful than our loved ones, small netBook, so may it be interesting to check the possibilities for outdoor use here:

UrbanMax is as far as I can løæse me to just basic concept, but is Intel’s bid for a future laptop that can go into production now.

We must give pøblen right, it could resemble an amalgam of the good old Compaq / HP TabletPC and HTC X7510.

The user interface looks rather cool off, but check it at this video:
