Pink Eee PC S101 First Impressions
Jan 3rd
PixieStash have managed to get their hands on one of the new Asus Eee PC S101 netbooks, the new pink version that is and have posted up their first impressions and a handful of photos of their new aquisition.
Overall the S101 seems impressive with what seems to be a very high quality of finish on the Asus netbook which is described as being “sleek, shiny, and all grown up” and the photos below certainly give that impression.
The pink Eee PC was launched in December in Japan, as we previously reported and shipping has now begun on the S101.

Details are appearing regarding the new 10″ Acer Aspire One netbook. The new Aspire One will be unveiled at the computer show CES 2009.
“The Storage Expansion slot has been removed, and a multicard reader put in its place. The functionality of the current Storage Expansion in Linux is entirely software based anyway. No onboard memory. There is only a single DIMM slot now, with a maximum capacity of 2GB. The screen is 10.1″ with the same resolution as the current screen. 3G and Bluetooth 2.0+EDR are optional.

A few changes were made to the design as well. The area around the keyboard has a brushed metal finish and the seamlessly integrated touchpad resembles a more traditional touchpad, compared to the current one, with what appears to be a single button at the bottom. The new AA1 will be available in three colors: white, black and red.”

Sony Continous to Tease Us with the Vaio “Netbook”
Jan 3rd
Following our report about the placeholder at the Sony site for a new lightweight VAIO netbook or notebook which eventually vanished after a couple of days, here we now some new teasers regarding the said new Sony Vaio machine.
UMPC Portal posted about this new teaser somewhere in Hong Kong about a new Vaio laptop. The teaser (see image) was hinting on a lightweight Vaio unit with reference to an envelope. Although it may seem an outright attack on Apple’s MacBook air, we couldn’t help but wonder how Sony is going to market this rumored machine. As a MacBook Air rival or a netbook entrant?
Anyway, Netbooknews.de managed to get some more specs of the new Sony Vaio from a reliable sources. These specs include, 1.33GHz Intel Atom Z250 CPU, 2GB RAM, HDD with optional SSD, GPS and UMTS. This mysterious Sony Vaio is expected to retail for around $970!
