      <title>Netbooks, Netbooks, Netbooks!</title>
      <description><![CDATA[
<p>Since I’ve attended 3 conferences over the past month and a half, I have become acutely aware for the need of a smaller, lightweight notebook. However, with 3 computers in my house (and not being made of money), it’s hard to justify the expense of a brand-new
 top-of-the-line desktop PC or laptop. But a netbook, on the other hand, is both inexpensive and lightweight. The question now isn’t whether or not I should get a netbook, but which one? Once I started looking into this, I discovered there are tons of them
 out there. It’s a bit overwhelming, to be honest. What I needed was a comprehensive resource. Not finding any to suit my needs, I decided to build my own based on the ones I’m considering.
</p>
<p>Here’s what I have so far:</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://on10.net/Link/c79d1b27-f97b-4fe4-b461-5ebdd88a7a2c/"><img width="132" height="99" title="asus-eee-pc-901" alt="asus-eee-pc-901" src="http://on10.net/Link/0a0fff29-0fa9-4ab4-a3ee-ac6353e15c5a/" align="left" border="0"></a> Asus Eee
 PC:</strong> Asus is responsible for starting the whole netbook trend in the first place. The current version of Eee PC, the 901, can run either XP or Linux and comes in 6 colors. The screen is 8.9” and has a resolution of 1024x600 pixels. The hard drive is
 a solid state drive (SSD) and is either 12GB (XP) or 20GB (Linux). Other features include a 1.6 GHz Intel Atom processor, 1 GB of RAM, integrated webcam, 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth 2.0. Weight is 2.43 lbs and battery life is “up to” 8 hours, but
<a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/13/asus-eee-pc-901-priced-reviewed/">Engadget</a> says they only got 4.38 hours out of it.
<strong>Price: $599</strong></p>
<p><strong><a href="http://on10.net/Link/6be2db15-89d7-4d42-b512-99afa6c79123/"><img width="240" height="103" title="asus_s101" alt="asus_s101" src="http://on10.net/Link/bfa1be24-9cd1-4573-9b2e-a72958acd06a/" align="right" border="0"></a> Asus S101</strong>:
 Another Asus netbook is the slim 0.7” thick, 2.2 lbs Asus S101. This portable has a 10.2” screen backlit with LEDs and a resolution of 1024x600. The XP model has a 16 GB SSD and Linux models offers both 32 GB and 64 GB models. Other features include 802.11n,
 Bluetooth, 1 GB of RAM, an Intel Atom processor, multitouch trackpad, 4-in1 card reader, 20GB free online storage, high quality speakers, and a 5-hour non-replace battery. It’s available in brown, champagne, or graphite. People are calling this one the ‘Macbook
 Air you can afford.’ Bingo. <strong>Price: $699 (XP), $699 (32 GB Linux); $799 (64 GB Linux)</strong></p>

 Mini 9: </strong>This one is Dell’s first attempt at a netbook. Let’s see how they did. The Mini 9 is only 2.2 lbs and 9” long. The screen is a glossy 8.9” with an LED-backlit 1024x600 resolution. Like other Dell computers, you can get Ubuntu or XP pre-installed
 on either a 4, 8, or 16 GB SSD. Other features include an Intel Atom N270 1.6 GHz processor, 802.11 b/g Wi-Fi, a 3-in1 card reader, Bluetooth, either a 0.3 or 1.3 megapixel webcam, and 2 GB of free online storage from Box.net. Battery life is only 3 hours.&nbsp;
 Comes in black or white. Here’s <a href="http://www.notebookreview.com/default.asp?newsID=4578">
a great review</a>. <strong>Price: $349 (Ubuntu), $399 (XP)</strong></p>
<p><em>Note:</em> If you’re looking to buy a Dell, it might be worth waiting for the upcoming
<strong>Dell E Slim</strong>, rumored to sport either an 8 GB SSD or 40 GB HD with Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and
<a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/dell-e-and-e-slim-revealed-taking-on-eee-and-air-in-one-fell-swoop/859923/">

 The 120 is the latest in MSI’s netbook PCs, but won’t be out until December. The netbook will replace the older model, the U100. Specs are still somewhat speculative, but most are in agreement that the U120 will have the following: a 120 GB hard drive or 20/40
 GB SSD, 802.11n Wi-Fi, and a built-in 3G modem that accepts a SIM card. Beyond that, the U120 should be very similar to the U100: 1.6 GHz Intel Atom CPU, 10'’ 1024x600 display, 1 GB DDR2 RAM. Will it still have the U100’s 3-cell battery? Unknown, but the 3G
 might be worth waiting for. (img credit: Fudzilla) <strong>Price: Less than $600 (rumored)</strong></p>

 and include a 1.6 GHz Via processor, 2 GB DDR2 SDRAM, a 120 GB hard drive, a VGA camera, and a 6-cell battery ($799). However, one of the mid-range offerings might be the best fit like the 1 GB RAM/120 GB HD/XP option for $499. The prices on these just dropped,
 so they might be in for a refresh soon.</p>
<p>This isn’t a comprehensive listing, but just a few that I’m looking at now. I have to admit, this is a tough choice! Feedback appreciated.&nbsp;

Since I’ve attended 3 conferences over the past month and a half, I have become acutely aware for the need of a smaller, lightweight notebook. However, with 3 computers in my house (and not being made of money), it’s hard to justify the expense of a brand-new
 top-of-the-line desktop PC or laptop. But a netbook, on the other hand, is both inexpensive and lightweight. The question now isn’t whether or not I should get a netbook, but which one? Once I started looking into this, I discovered there are tons of them
 out there. It’s a bit overwhelming, to be honest. What I needed was a comprehensive resource. Not finding any to suit my needs, I decided to build my own based on the ones I’m considering.

Here’s what I have so far:
 Asus Eee
 PC: Asus is responsible for starting the whole netbook trend in the first place. The current version of Eee PC, the 901, can run either XP or Linux and comes in 6 colors. The screen is 8.9” and has a resolution of 1024x600 pixels. The hard drive is
 a solid state drive (SSD) and is either 12GB (XP) or 20GB (Linux). Other features include a 1.6 GHz Intel Atom processor, 1 GB of RAM, integrated webcam, 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth 2.0. Weight is 2.43 lbs and battery life is “up to” 8 hours, but
Engadget says they only got 4.38 hours out of it.
Price: $599
 Asus S101:
 Another Asus netbook is the slim 0.7” thick, 2.2 lbs Asus S101. This portable has a 10.2” screen backlit with LEDs and a resolution of 1024x600. The XP model has a 16 GB SSD and Linux models offers both 32 GB and 64 GB models. Other features include 802.11n,
 Bluetooth, 1 GB of RAM, an Intel Atom processor, multitouch trackpad, 4-in1 card reader, 20GB free online storage, high quality speakers, and a 5-hour non-replace battery. It’s available in brown, champagne, or graphite. People are calling this one the ‘Macbook
 Air you can afford.’ Bingo. Price: $699 (XP), $699 (32 GB Linux); $799 (64 GB Linux)

      <title>Dell&amp;rsquo;s New Studio Hybrid PCs</title>
      <description><![CDATA[At long last, the new “green” PCs that have been under development at Dell have finally arrived. The <a href="http://www.dell.com/content/products/productdetails.aspx/desktop-studio-hybrid?c=us&amp;cs=19&amp;l=en&amp;s=dhs&amp;%7Etab=bundlestab&amp;redirect=1">Dell Studio Hybrid PC</a> is 80% smaller than the conventional desktop mini-tower while also using 70% less power than typical desktop PCs. Their small form factor lets them fit almost anywhere and the optional wireless keyboard and mouse help kill the clutter. The PCs are Energy Star 4.0 compliant (of course!)and can be customized with 6 interchangeable color sleeves or even a sleeve made of environmentally- friendly bamboo. Despite their small size, the Studio Hybrid still finds room for a CD/DVD drive, analog and digital sound ports, a gigabit networking port, and HDMI and DVI ports. The PCs start at $499 and go up depending on your customizations like selecting a Blu-Ray drive, more memory, or a larger hard drive. <img src="http://m.webtrends.com/dcs1wotjh10000w0irc493s0e_6x1g/njs.gif?dcssip=channel9.msdn.com&dcsuri=http://channel9.msdn.com/Tags/pcs/RSS&WT.dl=0&WT.entryid=Entry:RSSView:60bc7f8eb1df4102a9399e0e0097c279">]]></description>

      <title>Microsoft&#39;s Holiday Preview</title>
      <description><![CDATA[Robbie Bach and Kevin Johnson hosted an event for Microsoft employees showing us some of the products that will be available this season and let us sit in and talk to them afterwards.&nbsp;The presentation was over an hour long and it really didn't even scratch the surface of all the new products Microsoft plays a operating system role in. There were high-performance desktops, laptops, phones, Xbox games, and the Ford Sync. One product that caught my eye was the <a href="http://www.samsung.com/he/products/monitor/photoframe/index.asp">Samsung digital picture frame</a> which is able to <a href="http://mpalermiti.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!E81EB1B10436284C!146.entry?wa=wsignin1.0">pull photos</a> from RSS feeds and Windows Live.
