HannSpree Hannsbook S10 Netbook Hands On – IFA 2010
Sep 3rd
The first netbook over at IFA gets handled and sadly it’s nothing to get excited about. nDevil shows us the HanSpree S10 10-inch netbook powered by an Atom N470 processor, 1GB DDR2 RAM,3G, SIM card slot and a 5,200mAh 6-cell battery priced at 400 euros.
Apart from the matte display, 3G and large access panels on the back there’s nothing here that’s going to wow you. The chassis is rather glossy with “wobbly” trackpad buttons and the keyboard has a little bit of flex to it. Don’t expect to see this netbook outside of Europe.
Dell Chrome OS Netbook?
Jun 21st
A little while ago Lee Mathews over at Download Squad spotted some clues in Google’s Chromium respository revealing that HP, Dell and Acer are very likely candidates to come out with the first Google Chrome OS netbooks later this year (who’d have guessed, right?) Well, today a Dell rep has stated that it is in talks with Google about using their Chrome OS (and Android for that matter as well) but no announcements were made – so we’re basically back where we started.

Jun 10th
Chalk up another notch for the availability of HD netbooks – well, if you live in Japan that is. Mouse Computer has just announced and launched the Luvbook M series netbook which features a 720p 1280 x 720 10.1″ display and some higher end specs not normally seen on your average netbook.
The base model, priced at 39,800 yen (sub $300) has run of the mill specs: Atom N450 processor, 1GB RAM, 120GB HDD and Windows XP Home. The higher end model, priced at 49,980 yen (under $400), gets 2GB RAM, 320GB HDD and Windows 7 Home Premium. There’s a 40GB Intel X25-V SSD model that adds an additional $100 over the high end model.
Other specs: 2x USB 2.0, Ethernet, 802.11b/g/n Wi-FI, Bluetooth 2.1+EDR, VGA, card reader, 1.3MP webcam and audio jacks. 3-cell battery lasts 3.25 hours. Weighs 1.03 kg or 1.01 kg for the SSD model.
No idea if there’s any possiblity of inserting a Broadcom HD Crystal Accelerator card inside.
