Windows 7 Netbook Battery Life Sucks Worse Than Windows XP
Yeah, netbooks feel so much nicer running Windows 7 than Windows XP, but you're paying a secret price: Your battery. On average, Windows 7 seem to suck all the life out of it 47 minutes faster than Windows XP. More » -

Disposable Laptop Works Better as a Metaphor Than as an Actual Product
There's no doubt about it: Today, the concept of a disposable laptop is totally ridiculous. But you know what else was ridiculous? Disposable cameras, 60 years ago. And this thing just looks fantastic, so I'll let it slide. Also: symbolism! More » -

Apple Tax Repealed? Comparisons Suggest It's So
Our friends at Laptop compiled a chart comparing the new $999 white unibody MacBook to similarly weighted 13" laptops from Dell, Acer and Samsung within $100. There are tradeoffs, but at least at this price level, Apple fights on even ground, and makes up for lacks (no SD slot, smaller HDD, less RAM) with perks (LED backlighting, multitouch trackpad) and a much longer stated battery life. Feel free to scream it out below, or check Laptop for the full chart and spec rundown. [Laptop] -
