I love when small companies challenge the big players, just like Netbook Navigator did with its Nav 9 slate type tablet which houses a small netbook inside an already known form factor. What I don't like is when they put price tags way higher than the competition. Unfortunately this is what Netbook Navigator did with Nav 9, which sells for 799$ to 1399$ with all upgrades in place.There are over 25 possible combination but the asking price is way too much, even if you get the illusion you'll ...

It is expected for a lot of iPads lookalikes to hit the market soon for two reasons: everyone is copying the best, that's a fact and the iPad has a simple design so it's hard not to do a slate type PC that won't look like an iPad at least in terms of design. ExoPC is a 8.9 inch (1024 x 600 pixels screen) slate that does the latter, as it features a different hardware inside: Windows 7 Professional powered by an Atom N270 CPU running at 1.6 GHz, 2 GB RAM, a 32 GB SSD drive expandable with the use...

We've presented you the Lenovo S10-3t during CES this year, but now it seems it's already available for purchase online, on Amazon. I say just 499$ because it packs the latest Atom PineTail CPU running at  1.66 GHz, more than your average Atom netbook and also consumes less energy (that's be biggest selling point of the new CPU, not the speed which is marginally better).The Lenovo S10-3t is a 10.1 inch convertible netbook tablet with 1024 x 600 pixels resolution powered by a sluggish Intel ...

A lot of tablets presented at CES this year were powered by Atom CPUs mainly because every manufacturer already has netbooks and other gadgets running on Atom and it's easy to implement them in similar devices (from hardware point of view). It works for netbook tablets and convertible tablets but it doesn't work for slate devices and I'm going to tell you why be looking at the Inkia MID500 slate tablet (handled by Crunchgear) with a 5 inch display, a very similar device as functionality to Dell'...

It's pretty odd to launch a touch tablet now, just a few days after CES has ended and tablets got their 15 minutes of fame but DigitalRise (known for its iPhone clones) did it and it's not that crappy as it seems, packing an Atom CPU with all the connectivity features like 3G (WCDMA-SCDMA, CDMA200 variant), WiFi and GPS into a slate type body.The screen is a 10.2 inch multi touch display (1024 x 600 pixels) but we don't know yet if it's a capacitive or resistive display. But we know about th...

I'm usually confused by Asus, one of the most prolific manufacturers when it comes to releasing new products at short intervals but in the case of tablet PCs they are quite slow as we only have word about T91MT (9 inch convertible netbook tablet) and the T101mt, a 10.1 inch model with upgraded netbook hardware: Pinetail Atom N450 CPU. The rest of the specs remain pretty mainstream: 1 GB RAM, 160 GB hard drive and Windows 7 Starter. There will also be a more high spec model with 2 GB RAM, a 320 G...

Viliv is not a name you hear often when you talk about mobile devices but they intend to make a strong appearance from now on as they've launched at CES a new range of products from which the most interesting is the S10 Blade convertible tablet with 'classic' netbook hardware.We say classic configuration because  we have an Atom Z CPU (1.3 GHz), a swivel 10 inch screen (with 720p resolution), 1 GB RAM, 32 to 128 GB SSD storage (depending on configuration), Windows 7 OS and an estimated 10 h...

CES is on starting January the 7th and already manufacturers have started to show products that makes us believe the Touch Tablet trend is going to skyrocket this year. One of those devices is the Lenovo IdeaPad S10-3t, essentially a netbook tablet with a capacitive screen and multitouch capabilities.It's not surprising to see that netbook tablets are manufacturer's favorite when it comes to converting gadgets to tablet PCs as netbooks already have a pretty low starting price point and addin...

What do you want from a touch tablet? I bet you want it to be cheap, to have multitouch, to be slim and maybe run Windows 7. The LBook T9 is supposed to do all that plus will come in a pretty nice package and a configuration good enough to power your browsing and office software you need to run.The LBook T9 will come next year in March at a price point around 350-375$, will feature a slim 12,7mm profile. All input is done via a 8.9 inch 1024 x 600 screen. Weight is only 670 grams, a little l...
