Velocity Micro Announces the NoteMagix M10 Netbook
Jan 10th
Velocity Micro, a popular boutique PC maker also announced a new netbook for its product line – the NoteMagix M10. Expected to start shipping by Spring for an SRP of $379, the NoteMagix M10 will have the following features:
- 10.1-inch screen
- Intel Atom processor
- Windows XP
- 1GB RAM
- 160GB HD
- 3 USB ports
- 3-in-1 media card reader
- 1.3 megapixel webcam
- VGA and audio outputs
- Wi-Fi
- 2.6 pounds
- 4 cell-battery (up to 5 hours usage time)
The NoteMagix M10 seems like your ordinary 10-inch netbook with all the stardard features but then you got to take a second look at its price which I think is pretty cheap for a 10-inch netbook with Atom processor. Plus of course all the other specs.
Hopefully, Velocity Micro will release some more information about the NoteMagix 10 before Spring arrives. Specifically regarding its design and form factor.

Dell Offers the Inspiron Mini 9 for $99
Jan 10th
Before you get to excited about this new promotion from Dell, read on first since you probably know by now that Dell won’t just give away their Inspiron Mini 9 at such a low price.
Well, here’s the deal. The $99 price comes after a mail-in-rebate amounting to $350. But to get the Dell Inspiron Mini 9 for $99, you have to sign-up to AT&T’s Laptop Connect agreement which would require to pay a $60 monthly subscription fee plus other additional charges. There you go, there’s the catch.
Now this might seem to be a good offer, especially if you don’t have a decent Internet service at home yet and you go online most of the time and you are willing to pay around $1,440 of two-years internet connection. But if you already have a reliable ISP which puts you online at home, then it would be more practical to skip this promo and wait for the Inspiron Mini 10 instead if you want to own a Dell netbook.
If you don’t mind paying extra $60 a month and still would like to take this offer, well hurry up as the promo runs only until January 31, 2009.
