Malata, a popular IT company in China has release a new tablet netbook called the R108T. From the way I see it, the Malata R108T looks pretty good in terms of form factor and you could say that attention was given to its design.

The tablet netbook sports several designs including Ferrari Red, Piano Black, Coffee, Gold and Champagne. So that pretty much gives you several options on which design to get.

Specs wise, here’s what you should expect from the R108T tablet netbook – 10.1-inch rotating screen with touch feature, Intel Atom N270 1.6GHz CPU, 1GB RAM, 160GB HDD, 1.3MP webcam, and pretty much the usual netbook features.

An nice feature was added to the netbook for Chinese users – the  Hanwang handwriting software making input of Chinese characters very convenient.

Price of this netbook according to Shanzai.com is a bit on the pricey side. But the site didn’t mention how much though.

Samsung Go Goes to AT&T

Also, it’s going to be sold only on the Web. So clearly Michael Arrington knows what he’s getting into with the somewhat ridiculously high pricing, considering how much already existing mobile Internet devices like the iPod touch and Archos Internet tablets cost (clue: somewhere around half the price of the CrunchPad. Right now, the CrunchPad isn’t available anywhere online or offline but expect a big announcement to come out about it soon.

But for you who still has the Eee PC 1000H who wants to upgrade your system to Windows 7, are in luck as Asus has release a guide on how to do so.

Before upgrading your Eee PC 1000H’s OS to Windows 7, you need to upgrade its BIOS first and also upgrade a set of drivers.  You might also want to partition your hard drive to make it a dual booting machine. Why? Because upgrading from XP to Windows 7 is actually a fresh install. So it’s like starting anew with your netbook – meaning your system data settings will not be imported.

Sounds scary? It is definitely not for the weak of heart. But hey, it’s Windows 7 so don’t expect it to be an easy way in.

Now, I’ve got a better suggestion. Google Chrome OS is rumored to come out in a week’s time, you might want to wait for it and install it instead on your Eee PC 1000H.

You got to love the Kivu G-Five KTNO2 when you see it. It’s not like your ordinary 10-inch netbook in terms of form factor. Why? Apparently it was so designed after an aircraft wing. Why is that so? Possibly for air ventillation so as to dissipate heat coming from the netbook. Well, it only says one thing this netbook probably heats up fast.

Here’s how Shanzai.com explains how this netbook looks like:

“… the key feature is the teardrop shaped hinge that allows the netbook to open well past 90 degrees, and when closed operates like an aircraft’s wing (on which it was modeled) providing lift when it is being carried, thereby reducing the effective weight of the device…”

Specs-wise, it’s you usual 10-inch netbook loaded with – 1.6GHz Intel Atom CPU, 1GB of RAM, 160GB HDD, 10.2-inch LCD, 2 USB ports, 3G SIM Slot, Card Reader, RJ45, Bluetooth, 1.3MP camera.

Xitrix TravelPro M10 Netbook on Sale in the Philippines

We recently reported that the very popular NC10 by Samsung had been spotted for 299 Euros, down from 375 Euros. This time round, it’s the UK’s turn to see the netbook reduced.

Originally just Argos had the netbook for a lower price at £249.99 compared to £329.99 at Currys and PC World. Now the netbook is available from PC World and Currys for £239.99, even less than Argos. Unfortunately it’s not quite as simply as going in to the store and picking the NC10 up for that price. The companies have put a £70 reduction on the netbook but the other £20 saving, is claimed via redemption from Samsung. Still, if that doesn’t bother you, go ahead and pick the NC10 up from PC World or Currys for £259.99 and get £20 back.

UK sees Samsung NC10 reduced

MSI is not going to give up easily its major netbook model the MSI Wind U100. While everybody else is coming up with new netbooks loaded with Windows 7 and all the works, MSI decided to upgrade the Wind U100’s specs to make it run on Windows 7.

So now the Wind U100 is loaded with Intel Atom N80 with 1.66GHz speed and a 250GB HDD, just about enough to effectively run Windows 7 starter edition.

All the other specs and design features remain the same though. Price? This new Wind U100 will most likely go for around 349 Euros.
