It’s just freaking amazing what technology and a little time on your hands can do. Like French tech company ExoPC, for instance, which produced the ExoPC Slate — we figure this is a cross between a netbook and some other small multi-touch tablet with black bezels whose name we just cant place right now. Go Continue reading Netbook + iPad = the ExoPC Slate Ok, away from the iPad for a bit, and on to what might serve as Apple’s competition for their newest baby. Steve Ballmer, Microsoft CEO, was holding a tablet thingy in his CES 2010 keynote, and it apparently was the HP Slate, the iPad killer. This might, or might not, be the tablet you’re all Continue reading The HP Slate: iPad killer? The freaking thing hasn’t even shipped, and the Apple iPad has already divided the Internet community into believers and haters. We won’t join in that direction — as far as MacPCWiz is concerned, jury’s still out on whether in the Apple tablet is a “gadget to beat” or not. Steve Jobs' newest baby – the Continue reading The Netbook does, what the iPad can’t We put this here, because this is one of the first drool-worthy things we have seen launched this year (pending the launch of Apple’s tablet).

Saw it here first at DigitalTrends.com: Boutique high-end PC maker Continue reading Maingear F1X Gaming PCs Are you a big Dell fan?

There, we just had to get that out of the way, so you know what to expect out of this article. The the end of the age of netbooks may Continue reading ASUS’ Eee PC 1201N blows the netbook competition away (as expected) Barely a week into 2010 and techies all over the world are already proclaiming the downfall of 2009’s favorite gadget — the netbook. Black Friday’s hottest item is going RIP, says all my fellow tech nerds while sipping their designer coffee and hunched over their work terminals. A blog at NYTimes.com says it this way: Stuck Continue reading 2010: The “death of the netbook” and the “year of the tablet”? nVidia’s ION graphics chip is looking more like a winner by the moment. We talked about the nVidia ION’s graphics capabilities at length, and what a boon they can be to netbooks. But now, David Ragones, product line manager at Nvidia claims here at a CNET.com article that nVidia ION for netbooks supports blu-ray playback. Continue reading nVidia ION allows Blu-Ray viewing on a netbook If there are characteristics that should be expected from a netbook — to be lightning FAST is not one of them. A netbook is portable, trendy, affordable, mobile, light, and undeniably cute. So if what we hear about the ASUS Eee PC 1201N is all true, that is not such a bad thing at all. Continue reading ASUS Eee PC 1201N — Fastest Netbook of the moment?
