The U1 hybrid tablet/notebook that Lenovo showed at CES in 2010

Lenovo today officially denied any definite timetable or operating system plans around tablet PCs to be shipped outside of China, while confirming that an Android-based LePad tablet will be released in China later this year.

"We plan to introduce our consumer slate the LePad in China later this year and intend to expand to other parts of the world with slate-based products in the future. While the LePad is based on the Android platform, we are evaluating all options for operating systems to address different customers in different markets," Lenovo said, in an e-mail to TabletPCReview.

Lenovo issued the e-mail in response to requests for confirmation of a flurry of press reports over the past few days, giving varying accounts of where Lenovo is heading with tablets in 2011, including the company's intentions to completely drop Windows 7 from its future tablet lineup.

In reports popping up all over the Web, Xiong Wen, Lenovo's senior business director, has been quoted as telling attendees at a trade show in China that Lenovo will deliver two tablets in China this year, and the same two devices in the US next year.

These two PCs include the LePad consumer tablet, along with the IdeaPad U1, a tablet first demo'd at CES 2010 running both Windows 7 and a Lenovo-devised version of Linux dubbed Skylight.

In other reports, executives of the US arm of Lenovo have been quoted as suggesting that Lenovo will deliver the LePad in the US during 2011, but that the release of a hybrid U1 gadget running Windows 7 as one of its OSes could be growing less likely, due in part to touch interface issues.

While not specifically denying any remarks reportedly made by Lenovo executives, a Lenovo PR rep told TabletPCReview that some publications have been "misconstruing" Lenovo's intentions.

"Lenovo Remains Committed to Windows 7"

In its e-mail response, Lenovo refrained from commenting very specifically about which OS will be supported on its tablets, except to state that the LePad released in China will run some edition of Android.

Lenovo also replied "No" when asked whether plans have been scuttled for a UI hybrid laptop outfitted with both Skylight (or Android) and Windows 7.

"Lenovo remains committed to Windows 7 and for any future products we will make our decision on which operating system is used based up what's right for our customers," according to the e-mail.

In addition, the U1 hybrid isn't an "announced product," anyway, according to Lenovo. "The U1 hybrid is [a] tablet/notebook that Lenovo showed at CES in 2010. Availability has not been announced for this product, and it's not our practice to discuss details of unannounced products," Lenovo told TabletPCReview.

Acer Netbooks to Dual-Boot with Windows 7, Android

Over the past few months Acer has released two Netbooks that provide dual-booting for Windows 7 and Android, the Aspire One D250 and Aspire One D260. But according to DigiTimes, the company isn't stopping there.

At a launch press conference for the new devices, Acer reportedly said that all of its upcoming dual-core netbooks will be running the two OSes.

The idea behind this dual-boot system is to give users the flexibility of having the Microsoft OS and all the desktop apps with which they are familiar, while also providing the Android OS as an option when they want to use their netbook for Web surfing, messaging, and multimedia. These rumored netbooks apparently will be running an Intel Atom N550 processor, DigiTimes said.

There's no telling if this adoption of the Android OS on Acer laptops will be successful; Dell tried something similar with Linux Ubuntu OS on some of its laptops, with mixed results. However, the Android platform certainly does have more popularity and less of a learning curve.

"Since adopting Google's operating system does not cost much, but will provide more efficiency to its consumers, the strategy is expected to stimulate demand," Acer reportedly told DigiTimes.

Lenovo ThinkPad X100e with Low-Octane Performance review

In the old days, buying an ultralight ThinkPad meant cashing in the kids' college fund. Designed for executives looking to make a statement, the lightweight machines were showy, expensive, and hardly designed for serious, all-day computing.

With the X100e, Lenovo hasn't addressed the performance issues that plague mini notebooks, but it has at least taken a serious stab at the price concern while keeping the elegance and sophistication of the ThinkPad line intact. Typically, a top-of-the line X-series ThinkPad will easily run more than $2,000, but the newest sibling in the X family will set you back just $500 or $600.

The X100e may be stripped down (how could it not be?), but mind you, it's still a ThinkPad, not a lower-end IdeaPad. A step up from a netbook, the machine features a basic graphics card (an ATI Radeon HD 3200), 2 GB of RAM, and a 160-GB hard drive. Powering the thing is a 1.6-GHz AMD Athlon Neo, a chip that's generally thought to be a step up from Atom if still a long way from Intel's Core series.

But more importantly, the X100e looks like a ThinkPad, with the executive lines and no-frills design indicating this isn't somehalf-baked laptop with a ThinkPad logo stuck to it. The only noticeable design departure is the X100e's chiclet keyboard — and it quickly proves to be a smart one. For an 11.6-inch laptop, the X100e has one of the best keyboards we've ever used, with great response and substantial stroke depth.

Sadly, performance is remedial-level as opposed to honors-class. Benchmark scores are only modestly (10 percent) better than those on Atom-based netbooks and are a bit worse than the cheapie Core 2 Solo machines we've tested, though graphics scores were in the usable range. All told, it can get the job done for basic tasks, which is probably all anyone would be using a laptop of this size for, anyway.

WIRED ThinkPad looks at Aspire prices. Outstanding keyboard for a machine this small. Red shell option provides 20 percent more bling for the buck.

TIRED Lackluster screen, with washed-out colors. Difficult to open (and impossible with one hand). Some troubling bugginess: Machine occasionally wouldn't reboot without removing and replacing the battery. Uninspired performance.

MSI Wind U135 Netbook add Pine Trail

Acer has a prime competitor in the ultra-affordable Netbook market, and that's MSI. The just-announced MSI Wind U135 doesn't add much that's new to the Netbook equation, swapping out the previous Atom N270 processor for a next-generation battery life-extending N450, nicknamed Pine Trail. Starting at $309.99, the Wind U135 comes with a 160GB or 250GB hard drive, plus 1GB of RAM.

The very Netbook-looking Netbook comes in charcoal, silver, ruby, or sapphire, aka black, silver, red, or blue, with a film-printed shiny coating. New to the Wind U135 is a raised chiclet keyboard, so that the Netbook joins the ranks of nearly every other laptop nowadays. A new, larger touch pad has also been added. Five different power management settings are built in--not that we have ever had to concern ourselves with power efficiency on a Netbook.

A 10-inch screen with a standard 1,024x600-pixel resolution, three USB ports, a 1.3 megapixel Webcam, and 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi round out the features. And, of course, for a price this low, the Wind U135 runs Windows 7 Starter.

Acer Aspire One 532h performance review

Acer Aspire One 532h Performance

Powered by the new 1.66-GHz Intel Atom N450 processor and 1GB of RAM, the 532h scored 1,332 on PCMark05, which is 145 points below the netbook category average, and about 50 points below the Toshiba mini NB305. On Geekbench, the 532h saw a score of 896, which is close to 60 points above average, but nearly 30 points below the NB305. Still, the 532h performed well for a netbook; windows opened quickly, and we had no problem browsing the Web, watching videos, or listening to music.

Compare PCMark05 results with similar laptops

Using HandBrake, the 532h was able to transcode a 114MB MPEG-4 video in 29 minutes and 18 seconds, about 15 seconds faster than average. When we performed the same test using Oxelon Media Converter, which handles multiple threads, the task took just 5:50, about 10 seconds faster than the NB305.

The 5,400-rpm, 250GB hard drive booted into Windows 7 Starter Edition in a quick 51 seconds, and duplicated a 4.97GB folder of multimedia at a rate of 22.4 MBps, 6.6 MBps faster than the netbook average. That places it between the NB305 (20.6 MBps) and the Eee PC 1005PE-P (26.4 MBps).

The performance of the 532h’s Intel GMA 3150 graphics chip was about the same as other netbooks of its ilk; on 3DMark06, its score of 153 was nearly identical to that of the NB305 and the 1005PE. Hulu videos, such as The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien and an episode ofHeroes streamed fairly smoothly, but not at full screen.

Nokia Booklet 3G netbook gets pricey UK pre-order

The Nokia Booklet 3G netbook is finally available to pre-order in the UK although it won’t come cheap. It’s already released in the US and parts of Europe and the high price has carried through to UK shores. It is available for pre-order on the Nokia store for £649.00, which thankfully includes shipping. It is due to ship in January 2010.
Back when the first details of the device came through, we opined that it is more likely to be closer to the £600 mark than the £500 mark quoted at the time. We called the £600 price point ridiculous so hearing that it will actually cost £650 causes disbelief.
Yes, it’s a nice looking netbook and it has great battery life, but personally speaking there is much better value to be had if you’re not too bothered about looks. Go for a Toshiba NB200 or Asus Eee PC 1008HA instead, at least that way you’re getting a 10-inch netbook that still looks great, has good performance and is significantly cheaper. We’d stay well clear from that outrageous UK price-point.
The Nokia Booklet 3G will come with Windows 7, has a 10.1-inch (1280 x 720) display, measures just 20mm thick and is powered by a 1.6GHz Z530 Atom CPU. It will also come with a 16-cell battery that should last for 12 hours. Other features include HDMI-out and a 1.3MP webcam.

HP Mini 311 complete Review

Build and Design
The HP Mini 311 looks like an obvious evolution of the HP Mini design. In fact, if it weren't for the larger size of the 311 you could easily mistake this netbook for the old Mini 1000. In short, nothing substantial has changed in terms of the build or design of the latest generation of Mini netbooks. That said, this isn't a bad thing. HP engineers did a lot of things right with the earlier Minis, and the Mini 311 likewise offers a nearly fullsize keyboard, large touchpad, and acceptable build quality at a low price. The clamshell-like design gives the Mini 311 a very clean look and the "Black Swirl" Imprint finish features a nice spiral pattern design that looks like either a bunch of black/silver galaxies bumping into each other or a bed of black roses. This Imprint design not only gives the lid a distinct appearance, but also helps protect the lid from scratches.When open, the glossy black plastic extends around the glossy 11-inch screen. The entire exterior of the chassis is a combination of glossy black plastic, glossy silver plastic, and matte black plastic. Obviously, whenever we look at a laptop with this much plastic we're concerned about build quality ... and the Mini 311 was a bit of a mixed blessing. On one hand, the keyboard feels nice and firm with no flex. Likewise, the screen and rear of the netbook feel quite solid even under significant pressure. On the other hand, the front of the netbook suffers from some annoying "creaking" in the plastics of the palmrests. if you pick up the Mini 311 from either palmrest you will hear some unpleasant creaking sounds and feel some uncomfortable flex in the plastic. That said, we suspect the Mini 311 will hold up about as well as any plastic netbook priced below $400. The various parts of the chassis come together with tight seams and good attention to detail. The Mini 311 is also available in white just in case black isn't your color of choice.

Screen and Speakers
The new 11.6-inch screen on the Mini 311 is a nice LED-backlit display panel with a 1366x768 native resolution. The glossy screen surface helps to improve color and contrast, but we noticed the colors look a bit "washed out" or "pastel" compared to what our test desktop background looks like on other laptops. Although the 1366x768 resolution is a nice step up from the 1024x600 resolution seen on most netbooks the washed out colors made the viewing experience less than perfect. Vertical viewing angles are average with some color distortion when viewing from below and some over-exposed colors when viewed from above. Horizontal viewing angles are better with colors remaining unchanged at extremely wide viewing angles; you won't have trouble sharing a YouTube video with friends using this display.

The built-in speaker performance on the Mini 311 is extremely good for an 11-inch netbook. I'm not a fan of the location of the built-in speakers since they're located on the bottom front edge of the netbook, but the audio quality is quite good. The speakers produce excellent volume (enough to fill a small room) and there is minimal distortion even at higher volume levels. The speakers lack much bass, but the range of highs and midtones are perfectly enjoyable.

Granted, most audiophiles will want to use external speakers or headphones for a better listening experience ... but the built-in speakers work well in a pinch. The audio output from the dual-function headphone jack/microphone jack produced some high frequency background noise/distortion with some of the headphones we used during testing, but other headphones worked fine with no distortion.

Keyboard and Touchpad
As previously mentioned, the HP Mini 311 features a nice and large keybaord that is 92% of full size. Most of the primary keys are the same size as the keys you'll find on a typical notebook and the spacing is likewise normal, but the space bar and some of the keys that are used less frequently are smaller than normal. If you prefer the shape and feel of traditional keys then you'll probably like this keyboard. That said, I personally prefer the "Chiclet" style keyboard used on many netbooks and ultraportables since there is more space between the keys to prevent me from accidentally hitting the wrong key when working in tight quarters. Still, the keyboard on this netbook is quite usable and should be perfectly fine for typing quick emails or editing documents while traveling.

The ALPS touchpad used on the Mini 311 is a multitouch gesture-enabled model that allows you to use multi-figure gestures such as "pinching" your fingers together or "pulling" your fingers apart to zoom in or out. The ALPS control panel in Windows also allows you to customize these gestures as well. Sensitivity and tracking seemed accurate even when you move your fingers quickly over the touchpad surface. Speaking of which, the touchpad is covered in a glossy smooth surface that sometimes makes it east to slide your finger across the surface and other times causes your finger to "skip across the surface because of the lack of texture/traction. The left and right touchpad buttons are located beneath the touchpad and each button has shallow feedback with loud clicks when pressed.

Input and Output Ports
In terms of port selection the HP Mini 311 offers a few more bells and whistles than your average netbook. You get three USB 2.0 ports, a 4-in-1 media card reader, dual-function headphone/microphone jack, Ethernet port, and two video out ports in the form of VGA and HDMI.

Here is a quick tour around the HP Mini 311:

Front view: No ports here, just clean lines.

Rear view: No ports here either, just the hinges and battery.

Left side view: Security lock slot, power jack, vent, USB 2.0 port, and HDMI.

Right side view: 4-in-1 card reader, dual-function audio port, two USB 2.0 ports, VGA, and Ethernet.

Toshiba's mini NB205 netbook with a great keyboard

Like many of the netbooks out there, the Toshiba mini NB205 has an Intel Atom N280 processor, 1GB of DDR2 memory, a 10.1-inch display that runs at 1024 x 600 pixels, a 160GB hard drive and Windows XP. It weighs in at 2.93 lbs. (the power cord adds another 10 oz.), and offers three USB ports and an SD card reader, along with headphone jacks and an Ethernet port. It's available in three colors: sable brown, frost white and royal blue.

What's cool about it? Let's face it; a lot of what distinguishes today's netbooks are the externals -- the display, the keyboard and the look. The NB205 has all three.

First, the 10.4 x 7.6 x 1.3-inch Toshiba is very stylish, with a sleek, textured skin (which resists fingerprints, something that other netbooks could do well to copy) and a slim, streamlined design. The power key, located in the center of the hinge between the keyboard and the display, glows a rather eerie but pleasing lavender.

But more importantly, the NB205 has one of the best keyboards I've ever used on a netbook. Not only are the keys larger than those you usually get with netbooks, but they have a nice range of give, and appropriate space between the keys. It's not perfect -- the keys are completely flat, rather than slightly concave, so your fingers tend to slip a bit -- but aside from that, it's about as close to a regular keyboard as you can get.

The touchpad is also a bit larger than most, and very comfortable to work with, with nicely sized right and left mouse buttons below it.

The display is bright and extremely clear. The six-cell battery, which is rated by Toshiba has having a life of up to 9.08 hours, lasted 6 hours and 30 minutes while I continually ran Hulu movies -- not bad at all. It does interfere a bit with the style of the product; the battery sticks out from the back at bit, ruining the elegant line of the machine. But it's worth it for the extra battery life.

What needs to be fixed? I was surprised by the audio, which was very tinny -- I actually preferred the sound of my old Asus EeePC 701. Headphones or a good headset is the order of the day if you want to hear decent music.

Final verdict: If you're looking for a reasonably priced netbook that works well and looks good, the Toshiba NB205 should certainly be on your short list.

Acer Aspire One 11.6" netbook review

The first generation of netbooks comprised little more than overpriced toys that gave us a glimpse into the future of this emerging mobile market. Tiny screens, even smaller solid state storage and an overall cheap look and feel initially kept many users at bay.

Then a second wave of these mobile computing solutions came, bringing larger (mostly 10-inch) screens along with traditional spinning hard drives that significantly increased storage capacity, a near exclusive adoption of Intel’s mobile Atom processor and more solid, non-childish looking designs.

Today we'll be looking at what I consider a third generation netbook, the Acer Aspire One 751h. This new model from Acer features a larger, 11.6" HD resolution screen and a full size keyboard - among other improvements. A more generous 6-cell battery combined with a slightly slower clocked Atom processor promises increased battery life as well.

* The 1.6GHz Intel Atom N270 Processor combines performance, power and efficiency to explore the Internet and stay connected while mobile.
* 6-cell battery provides up to 6 1/2 hours of battery life for extended use and productivity when away from an AC outlet.
* Windows XP Home with SP3 gives you the freedom to do what you want at home and at work - simply, reliably and more securely
* 160GB Hard Drive, 1GB RAM, Integrated 802.11b/g Wi-Fi Certified
* Acer Crystal Eye webcam delivers smooth video streaming and high quality images for your on-line chats and business video conferences
