Netbooks Attacks the Amazon Market
Sep 25th
It will only be a matter of time before our traditional notebooks are wiped out from face of the consumer PC market. Everybody seems to be so into netbooks lately that 9 out 10 most popular laptops in Amazon are netbooks. The remaining slot filled up by a notebook belongs to Apple’s 13.3-inch MacBook.
Yes folks, we might be seeing the demise of the notebook PCs right infront of us. Contrary to a Digitimes report where it claims the the boundaries between notebooks and netbooks may disappear in 2009, it looks like it’s not the boundaries, but the notebooks who might disappear soon.
Well, if we will take into account this Amazon listing.
Anyway, going to the Amazon listing for the most popular laptops, we are looking at the Acer Aspire One Sapphire Blue model, finally beating the Eee PC. The A1 is sitting comfortably at the number one spot, closely followed by the Eee PC 1000H 80GB model, MSI Wind U100, Eee PC 1000H with 160GB storage then going back to Aspire One again only this time it’s the Whiteversion.
Completing the cast of Amazon’s top 10 list of laptops are; the MacBook, Aspire One with 8GB SSD, Eee PC 900, MSI Wind with 120GB SSD, and the Aspire One with 160GB hard drive.

Asus Adds HSUPA (3.75G) Capability to the Eee PC
Sep 25th
Asus just announced that the Eee PC models will soon have 3.75G (HSUPA) connectivity. Starting off with the Eee PC 901, the 3.75G will enable high-speed Internet access anytime, anywhere. This practically means that users can now have access to the Internet even if there are no Wi-Fi hotspots since, connection will be enabled through mobile broadband network.
Mobile broadband network can give as much as 7.2 Mbps downlink and 2 Mbps uplink speeds. And users don’t have to worry about draining their battery life as well, since the Eee PC 901 is capable of providing 7.5 hours of good use. But of course, this will still depend on the users location, if HSUPA is already available.
The Eee PC 901 with 3.75G will be available sometime in October – onwards and will have the following specs:
- Windows XP OS
- 8.9-inch display
- Intel ATOM CPU
- WLAN, Bluetooth
- 1GB RAM
- 16GB SSD
- 20GB Free online storage
- 6 cell battery
