Asus Ditches Subtlety, Uses Underwear-Clad Model to Sell New Subnotebook

Just so we're all clear on this, there is no way that purchasing a computer or gadget of any kind, regardless of price, brand or size, will get girls like this to talk to you. I'm sorry, but it's the truth. Spend that money on some new clothes, a haircut and a gym membership. You are too smart to be taken by these base tactics, my friends. [CNET Taiwan via The Raw Feed]

New York Times: Analysts Aren't So Big On The Netbook Movement

Today's New York Times has a trend piece on ULPCs/Netbooks/Nettops/Subnotebooks/Mini PCs/*Insert Buzzword Here* and analysts who fear their low prices will spell doom and gloom for the PC industry. They cite the already low profit margins for PC sales as an example of what could drive computer companies into the red. Naturally success stories like the Asus Eee, and the next wave of products like the CherryPal were name dropped as potential threats, but it hardly seems time to worry. More »

AMD Developing Low Power CPU for Tiny Cheap Laptops

The cheap, low power processor space for stuff like lil' notebooks is just about the hottest one around, so AMD would be silly to pass it up, especially when it preached the benefits of efficiency long before Intel came around to that school of thought. (Oh, those were the days.) A leaked slide shows AMD might have one up its sleeves—64-bit, 1GHz, and an 8W thermal power design, which puts in more in range of Via's Nano processors than Intel's Atom, meaning it's not quite ultra-ultraportable appropriate. Course, it could be (and very probably is) just one a family, meaning there might be more sprightly versions. [EeePCNews.de via Electronista]

Crazy Talk: Why Small Laptops Are Going to Save Windows XP

Windows Vista hasn't been adopted joyfully by the masses, but consumers don't always have a say when it comes to the next Windows OS they'll be using. Most of us have to run whatever comes preinstalled on our machine of choice. And according to Microsoft, starting June 30th of this year, that OS will be Windows Vista only. More »
