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.

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.
Asus has put up a promotional video of its upcoming and highly anticipated nettop – the Eee Box EB1501. In case you forgot already, this nettop boasts of a dual core processor and NVIDIA ION platform.
It could very well be used as a multimedia box that you can place anywhere in your house without occupying too much space due to its small form factor.
The Eee Box EB1501 also features Windows 7 Home Premium, a remote control and two keyboards / wireless mouse. It’s will start hitting store shelves in Italy anytime now. No words yet on its U.S. release.

Except for the graphics this netbook seem pretty prepped up to go up against the big guys right? Regular price of this one is around $580 for the one with 3G and $473 for the model without it.
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.
Laptopmag took the Nokia Booklet 3G for a spin and found that although the said netbook looks great from the top to the bottom, it’s performance doesn’t live up to its great design.
The Nokia Booklet 3G boast of a MacBook-like design with an aluminum-covered body. The only problem that you’d probably find with the netbook’s design is its cheap plastic keyboard. Other than this, the netbook will surely please users who are looking for a great looking netbook.
Laptopmag’s final verdict? While there might be some issues with the performance of the Nokia Booklet 3G, the bottomline is that the netbook’s design and form factor might win you over plus the fact that it is 3G-enabled and can give out 8 hours of battery life.
But then again, you must also consider that there are other netbooks available with equal if not better specs than the Nokia Booklet 3G which is currently sold at $299.
Have you watched Black-Eyed Peas’ latest video for the new song “I gotta feeling?” Some sharp eyes were able to catch a part of the video where the lading lady was holding (or using?) the HP Mini Vivienne Tam Edition.
I’ve watched this video only once, and I don’t remember noticing the said HP Mini netbook.
The netbook appears at around 2 minutes 50 seconds.
Asus adds another Windows 7-powered netbook to its collection, this time it’s called the Eee PC 1101HA-WP. Obviously, it’s just a “re-engineered” version of the previously released Eee PC 1101HA with some enhancement to its specs to make Windows 7 run.
Let’s see – 2GB of RAM, 250GB of HDD, a slower Intel Atom Z520 CPU and GMA graphics – then Windows 7 for OS, and you have a brand new Eee PC.
The Eee PC 1101HA-WP’s battery life suffered a bit, down from 11 hours to 8 hours now.
As for the other features, it practically is the same netbook as the Eee PC 1101HA.
The Eee PC 1101HA-WP will be available in Japan on the 14th and will set you back for around $410. It will don either a black or white casing.
