This chip (65nm) seems like the perfect solution for notebooks, netbooks, cellphones and any other device that is intended to contain any of these features. The simplicity that can bring to these devices can be represented in numbers:

• 30% less in production costs.
• 50% space saving, considering that you will need separate chips for each technology.
• Includes internal mechanisms that will prevent for the FM, or any other transmission, to be interfered by other hardware.
• Includes Bluetooth Low-Energy support.

The product will be presented in the Mobile World Congress 2010 (Barcelona, Spain). And the company will have OEM devices built with this chip.

They are expecting to have implemented this chip in some market hardware by the end of the year.

Dell Inspiron Mini 10v Netbook

This is a great little curvy computer running the most popular of OS among netbooks – Windows XP. It has 1GB of RAM which is into laptop territory and is great for surfing the internet and taking care of all those tasks. The reason why this is the best netbook for the home is because of the price. At just $299 it’s a fine purchase to make to fill the gap when someone else is using the family PC or you just want to relax in bed and check you e-mail or RSS. It also doesn’t look and feel cheap like other netbooks for the same price. It can run for over five hours playing video and using software so it’s ideal for entertainment and heavy usage.

School

Asus Eee PC

This one is slightly more bulky than the one mentioned above but it packs more of a punch and it has an extended battery life for those long cramming sessions. The keyboard is also much better for typing on than the DELL.

It has 1GB of RAM but a 1.66GHz processor while running XP.

It weighs 3.4 pounds which isn’t too bad when you compare it to the laptop you could have been lugging around between classes. It looks good and ticks all the right boxes for students. The price tag of $400 isn’t to bad either.

Work

HP Mini 5101

This small netbook is definitely the way to go for work and business. It stylish and discreet with a minimalistic design and has sharper angles than the other too.  Again, it has 1GB of RAM and a 1.66GHx processor doing all the work for you. It’s really sturdy and solidly built however I don’t like how it lost its Express Card slot which was on the previous model.

Nonetheless, the 160Gb hard drive is more than enough to hold any projects (no matter how big) until you make it back to the office and the 10” display is the perfect screen for working on them along with the comfortable keyboard and track pad.

Top 3 Netbooks for Home, School and Work originally appeared on: Crenk

The model I’m talking about is the Swordfish Net N102 that was originally built to provide a cheaper notebook possibility in Latin America (Haleron resides in Colombia).

It is a great idea in the market if you think about it; Latin America does not have the same laptop usability as North-America or Europe, mainly related to costs. And when the netbooks appeared, they provided the best solution for portability and low costs; but resigning processor capabilities.

Haleron guarantees that using this netbook will have the same performance as a regular notebook. Here are some interesting notes about it:

• Swordfish Net N102 works better with XP. The tests executed showed that Windows XP (preferred in the netbook world) shows a better experience and capabilities than Windows Vista, no surprise there; and Windows 7.
• Includes 3G module. Also taking note that the WiFi spots in Latin America are not all that common in some areas, 3G sounds like a good choice to have incorporated.
• 3 cell lithium batteries provide 2.5 hours of normal use. You could see this coming; two processors will increase significantly the power usage. But, to take care of this, they are trying to offer you the possibility to use two 3 cell battery or using a 6 cell battery that will give you 4.5 hours.

If the two processor netbooks becomes a standard, then I guess you will not have an excuse for not buy one.

Shanzai is announcing that the devices with the Loongson-CPU will have Google Chrome OS installed, and released by Lemote hardware manufacturer. And even though these are only rumors, there have been some snapshots available in the web of what seems to be Google’s OS:

The anticipation is increasing significantly, since we don’t have much data around this operating system. We know that it will be focused on netbooks, open source with a Linux kernel and user interface based mainly in a web experience.

Sounds good to me if an Asian hardware manufacturer is taking a chance with this new OS. We are all waiting for the moment to install and use Chrome OS.

What we do know so far about Google Chrome operating system is:

• Targeted to netbooks in their first stage.
• Open-source operating system. Based on a Linux kernel.
• Project source will be available “later” this year.
• Customers will have the OS in the second half of 2010.
• Minimal user interface. Based mostly on web experience.
• Will run in x86 and ARM chips.

Also, another thing that the article mentions is that Android is a a completely different project, so we shouldn’t expect any similarities?
