Beefcake Netbooks

Introduction. Fed up with desktop and laptop computer owners kicking the proverbial sand in the screen of your netbook – well check out the following beefcake netbook with plenty of muscle.

Is The iPad Fired

Introduction. Two weeks after the launch of the Kindle Fire is it time to ask – is the iPad fired?

Introduction. OK, so we’ve been here before with the sub $200 netbook – where poor build quality and a lack of processing power, storage and memory made them netbooks you wouldn’t ask a kindergarten kid to use. Well all that could be about to change with the introduction of the Asus Eec PC X101. Sounds like something out of science fiction, priced like something out of science fiction – but this Asus netbooks performance and capability is no fiction – science or otherwise. Asus Eec PC X101 – under $200 but worth ...
