Iiyama KDU-G1 netbook

Saturday, January 31st, 2009

Iiyama is known for its LCD monitors and the Japanese manufacturer will also release a netbook, the KDU-G1. No real surprises, the netbook offers an Intel Atom N270 processor and a 10.2-inch screen with a resolution of 1024 × 600 pixels. On the other hand, we can see a hard drive of 160GB or 250GB and 2GB of RAM.

The netbook that Apple will never make

Saturday, January 31st, 2009

Because Apple doesn’t decide to enter the world of netbooks, I suggest the work of Isamu Sanada with a laptop/netbook composed of three parts, the whole in a clamshell.

LG Fantasy USB flash drive

Friday, January 30th, 2009

LG Electronics doesn’t make only mobile phones, TVs and computers. There are of course all the general public electronics industry but also appliances occupying the giant Korean. And we often forget the small accessories such as the new USB flash drive with a capacity of 1GB to 8GB, called Fantasy. Nothing special in itself but I like the simplicity of the thing.

Acer Aspire One Linux version

Friday, January 30th, 2009

For those who dream of Acer Aspire One 10″ and like Linux will be pleased to learn that a Linux version is under development, despite an official announcement that it will be just a Windows XP machine. Apart from that, everything is the same: 160GB hard drive or 16GB SSD option, and a slot for SD memory card, among others. The Linux distribution will be the Linpus, but unfortunately, this version, and these options will not be available when the Acer Aspire One 10″ will be launched this mid-February. The price of Acer Aspire One 10″ will start from £299 ($426).
