Shenzen based E-Benton Laptop Co. Ltd have sent the E-Benton MiniNOTE to the FCC to be put through it’s paces. In most aspects the MiniNote is considered a netbook. The screen size however puts it just above “traditional netbook” but, more and more companies are seeing 11 inch devices as netbooks as well and the E-Benton MiniNOTE is no exception. The netbook features an 11.1 inch display with a resolution of 1366 x 768 which is better suited for day to day tasks. It measures 10.8″ x 7.1″ x 1.2″ and weighs in at 3 pounds.

The specs of the netbook include a 160GB hard drive, with 1GB of RAM. The operating system of choice is Windows XP, which is soon to cease being pre-installed on netbooks. Like other netbooks, it also features 3 USB ports, 1.3 megapixel web camera and integrated WLAN. It’s likely to be rebranded when it’s released in the US. Although it is noted, that just because it has been passed through the FCC, doesn’t necessarily mean it will be released into the market, as there’s no information on release date, or pricing.

A filing by Intel to the FCC reveals that the Lenovo ThinkPad X100e has once again made it’s way to the FCC. What’s different this time round however is that this model lists an Intel 622ANXHMW card. This means it’s a WiMAX card with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. Other details show that the netbook is manufactured by Lenovo’s OEM partner Quanta Computer Inc, which comes as no surprise.

The listing also notes the the ThinkPad Mini 10 and 11 next to the X100 series. Both are listed under “Lenovo (Japan) Limited” which WirelessGoodness note, could mean they’re just regional variations of the X100 platform. Release information on the WiMAX models is currently unknown, nor is shipping information.

Following on from the LG T280 being introduced in Korea, it seems the T280 CULV will also be making it’s way to US soil. The T280 has been spotted on the FCC website, which includes internal photos of the netbook, a user manual and specs. The T280 is listed as having a 1.3 megapixel web camera, bluetooth, WiFi, optional 3G, 1-2GB of RAM, and 11.6 inch display and a 2.5 inch hard drive. Processor wise, it’ll be equipped with an Intel Pentium or Core Duo processor.

RAM will also be easy to upgrade but, the hard drive will be harder to get to to upgrade. Again, release info isn’t known or pricing. The FCC listing does however say, that the netbook will have different names for different regions, including TD280, TB280 and T28.

A recent filing at the FCC shows a Dell Inspiron Mini 1012 with WiMAX. Other information from the filing, indicates the other features of the netbook will be pretty much the same, as the other Dell Mini 10 models, including 10.1 inch display, 1GB of RAM and a 250GB hard drive. It’ll also come with Windows 7 Starter and the new Intel Atom N450 Pine Trail processor. Likewise, WiFi and Bluetooth will also be included.

It’s not clear at the moment, whether Dell plan to sell the netbook unlocked, or if they will partner with a WiMAX provider, such as CLEAR or Sprint. How soon we can expect to see WiMAX as an option is also unknown for now.

While MSI, Asus, Samsung and Dell have all announced upcoming netbooks powered by Intel’s new Atom N450 processor, Toshiba was missing in action. The company’s real plans with regards to releasing any Pinetrail Atom-equipped netbooks in the near future isn’t very clear, but based on documents posted on the FCC’s web site, it looks like Toshiba is planning to release an updated version of its NB205 netbook just like how Dell is doing with its Inspiron Mini 10. If not fitted with an Intel Atom N450 processor inside, you can at least expect the refreshed Toshiba NB205 to have a Qualcomm Gobi chip for wireless communication, which will enable it for use with EVDO or HSPA 3G networks. Perhaps it won’t be long before we hear word about this same netbook getting a carrier subsidy when it gets announced. Nothing is confirmed for the moment, though, so stay tuned for updates.

The Asus Eee PC 1008HA was officially announced a month ago as the newest ultra-thin 10-inch netbook from Asus, and is scheduled for a still unspecified release date during this month. It has just recently passed certification at the FCC, so it most certainly is free to be released in the U.S. market any day now. The FCC didn’t provide any detailed photos of the device (much less any teardown shots), but this one photo of the netbook’s underside showing the FCC certification sticker was available among the Test Reports and other documents. If you’re in the U.S. and are in the market for a new ultra-thin netbook, remember to put this one on your list.

Announced recently, Gigabyte’s M1028 is one of the more interesting netbooks to come out of the woodwork. Aside from typical netbook specs, it comes with a 10-inch convertible screen, which sort of makes it like a tablet. The overall design isn’t that bad, too. In case you were feeling a bit antzy about when it will finally come out, don’t fret. The said netbook has just passed through the U.S.’s FCC, and events like this is usually followed by the device finally going on sale. In any case, it’s clear to be available as a wireless device in the U.S. in the future.

The Asus Eee PC 1004DN made its first appearance during CES 2009, and while Asus specified that they won’t be launching this netbook any time soon, it has just cleared testing at the FCC, which means it can now be used inside the U.S. The FCC certification also gives Asus a reason to finally release this new netbook, provided that it is ready for the market. The most interesting part of the Asus Eee 1004DN is its built-in optical disk drive, squeezed in on the side, which makes it the first Asus-made netbook that’s got a disk drive. It will also have Intel’s new 1.66GHz N280 Atom processor. No word yet on official sale release date or price, but we’ll be waiting for it and will update you when it comes out.
