Subnotebook vs. UMPC vs. Netbook: WTF Is the Difference?

When Blam broke the news on Dell's mini Inspiron, there was one he was stuck on: How to categorize it. Is it a subnotebook? A UMPC? A netbook? (Knowing the specs might have helped, but probably not much.) Part of the problem is that the category names themselves are very new and pretty vague. Here's a mini-compendium of the most popular terms for dwarfish laptops being tossed around, where they come from and what they're trying to say. Help us decide which ones to keep, and which to ditch. More »

Is This the Intel Netbook?

Tech Corner claims these are photos of the upcoming Intel Netbook (not to be confused with its stationary Nettop counterpart) that runs Windows XP Pro "like a champ." The small, low-cost device is said to be Intel's education-centric answer to products like the Asus Eee PC and OLPC. Judging by the photos and Tech Corner's writeup, the laptop is about 10 inches in size with a 9-inch screen, under three pounds, has 512MB RAM, 40GB HDD and standard internet connections. But there are a couple of info bits that don't quite line up with previous reports. More »

Further Confirmation On Flash-Based Sub-notebook Has Apple Fanboys Wetting Their Pants

Following up on the Sub-Macbook rumor, American Technology Research analyst Shaw Wu says now that Apple may introduce a new notebook based on Flash NAND chips «in the second half of the year». It's unclear if Apple will also finally introduce the personal teleporter with cold fusion engine in the same time frame, but that quote alone, coupled with Samsung announcing the first shipment of their hybrid NAND hard drive to OEMs, will probably fill Apple's fanboys' wet dreams for months to come. Myself included. – Jesus Diaz More »

Sony to Ship VAIO TX3 Next Month

Sony is set to ship its VAIO TX3 laptop, a one-inch-thin and light jewel with an 11.1-inch display at 1366x768. The smart-looking 2.75-pound subnotebook is running a power-sipping 1.2GHz U1400 Intel Core Solo processor, giving it seven hours' worth of battery life on a single charge. Its light weight is due to its carbon fiber construction, which Sony says is 230% stronger and 30% lighter than the materials used in the laptops of mere mortals. More »
