Amazon to Start Selling the OLPC XO Laptop on Nov. 17
Finally, the OLPC XO laptop will soon be accessible to individuals who have been wanting to take part in this worthy cause. OLPC has announced that it will start selling the XO Laptop through Amazon.com on November 17. The XO Laptop will sold through Amazon the G1G1 program where individuals will have to pay for one laptop for the price of two units. The other laptop will be donated to a corresponding child in a developing country.
This would certainly help the OLPC in getting more mileage on their worthy project. However, there seems to be one glitch on this deal. The OLPC XO laptop that will be sold in Amazon will only have the Linux OS. No Windows XP version will be sold. I wonder how easily the recipient kids would be able to adopt to Linux as an OS for the XO?
The XO Laptop will initially be sold through Amazon’s US storefront only but there might be chance that it would also be available in other countries later on.

Apple may be developing smaller MacBook Air
about 1 week ago - No comments
Apple has spent much of the last two years explaining that the company has no interest in launching a netbook. Instead, Apple launched the iPad this summer. Sure, it costs more than most netbooks, and lacks a hardware keyboard. But like a netbook, the iPad is a light weight, portable device with good battery life,

One of the easiest ways to bump the speed of your netbook is to replace the hard drive from the platter-based HDD to a flash-based SSD. It gives you a speedier boot as well as faster application launching to keep its performance at par with your main computer.
Kingston announced that they will be including a [...]

Samsung’s All In One PCs Looks Stunningly Beautiful and Thin!
about 6 months ago - No comments
We don’t normally cover all-in-one PCs here at Eee PC Blog especially if it’s not from Asus or Acer (don’t ask me why, it’s just the way things are). But then, Samsung’s latest all-in-one PCs that were just launched in Korea are too beautiful not to report about it.
If you’re planning to get an all-in-one [...]

But it’s not all about branding though. Asus has definitely [...]

Qualcomm just showed off a new device called the Snaptop, which is basically a slate tablet with a kickstand and a Bluetooth keyboard. While it’s not anything new, the concept is quite appealing and looks similar to MSI’s Windtop or Asus’ Eee Top at a smaller scale.
The prototype unit has a 9″ resistive screen and [...]

FIC netbook sports unique design

Here’s a wacky little netbook from FIC Taiwan. The most striking feature as you see above is that the screen is smaller than the chassis. It’s actually a 10.1″ display riding on a chassis for an 11″ one. Maybe they got a great deal on the smaller screens, I dunno.
