The AC100 smartbook by Toshiba was initially unveiled in June and now the company have released the AC100 in the UK. The AC100 is the first Android powered device for the company and will come with Android 2.1 as well as the company’s own custom UI on top of Android. Specs wise, it features a 10.1 inch display, with a resolution of 1024×600, the same as most other 10 inch devices. It will also feature an NVIDIA dual core Tegra 250 chip and HDMI output. It falls short with regards to RAM and hard drive space though. It features only 512MB of RAM and 8GB flash storage.

The AC100 also features WiFi b/g/n and Bluetooth, however the company are working on a 3G model, the Toshiba AC100-10U. Unfortunately there isn’t any release information or pricing for the 3G model yet. Pricing for the non 3G model, the AC100 is £293. It’s also listed at Amazon but, they’re showing shipment delays of 1-2 months.

Today Dell have launched their latest variant of the Dell Mini 10. As expected, the design is very similar to the original Dell Mini 10. Dell have added the Intel Atom N455 processor to this netbook. The other change on the netbook, is that the touchpad appears to have separate left and right buttons, instead of being intergrated. The netbook is also one color, instead of two. The rest of the specs remain the same. You get the standard 10.1 inch display with a 1024×600 resolution, 160GB hard drive, 1GB of RAM and Windows 7 Starter as the OS. This will retail for £279 in the UK, or 279 Euros in Italy. The UK seems to be getting a raw deal, as while 279 Euros is around $357, £279 British Pounds converts to around $434.

For £20 or 20 Euros more, you can upgrade the hard drive size to 250GB. The battery capacity is also larger with the 250GB HDD model. Unfortunately, Dell won’t be selling the Dell Inspiron Mini 1018 with the HD screen, providing a resolution of 1366×768, or adding the Broadcom Crystal HD video accelerator. Instead Dell will continue to sell the Inspiron Mini 1012 for users wanting those added features. Dell have also said the 1018 will be released in other regions during the Fall.

A little later than expected but, the Nokia Booklet 3G is now available within the UK. Unfortunately the pre-order price of £649 is correct and the booklet will be retailing for this. Specs of the Nokia Booklet 3G include a 10.1 inch display, Windows 7 Starter, 1GB of RAM, 120GB hard drive and 3G connectivity of course. The battery lasts for up to 12 hours. What makes this netbook/booklet more expensive than the rest, is the ability to display video in 720p.

Shipping is free on the item if you choose the standard delivery (3-5 days) but, if you want it quicker it’s an extra £10 on top for the express service (1-3 days).

The Sony VAIO W11S1E was previously available from PC World in the UK for delivery only. Collection from store wasn’t possible and now ordering it, isn’t at all. Not from PC World anyway. Those following the direct link to the 10 inch netbook from Sony will find themselves redirected to the netbook page, with no sign of any Sony netbook in sight.

It is however, still available from Amazon.co.uk. All color models are still currently in stock from £330.

Said to be on track for a release in the UK next month, the 9-inch touchscreen-equipped Asus Eee PC T91 has been caught in pictures yet again, this time by UK tech site Electric Pig. Looking at what the Eee PC T91 is now, before its official release, it appears as if Asus has nearly perfected the 9-inch form factor, and considering how good the Eee PC T91 looks as both a netbook and a convertible tablet, the 10-inch Eee PC T101 is bound to be better by leaps. If you are holding off buying any more netbooks before the Eee PC T91 and T101 from Asus, then maybe the latest Eee PC T91 hands-on pictures will be enough to tide you over. See them all at the link below.

Yet another company has delved into the netbook market and this time it’s UK manufacturer The Stone Group. The Stone Group will launch their Stone Neo 101 from the start of May in the UK for around £316 including VAT.

The Stone Neo 101 comes with the specs you’d find on most netbooks for that price including 160GB hard drive, 1GB of RAM, Intel Atom processor and a 10.1 inch display. It will also feature a 1.3 megapixel web camera, WiFi, option of adding 3G support and a 4 cell battery. Unlike other netbooks on the market though, the Neo 101 comes with a 3 year warranty, making it cheaper than many other netbooks with extended warranties.

Another week, another “small” company adds a netbook to their computer line up. This time round it’s Zoostorm, a UK computer manufacturer, who are releasing their Freedom netbook. The Freedom doesn’t follow the usual specifications of a 10 inch screen and 1GB of RAM, but will instead feature a 8.9 inch screen and half the RAM of your usual netbook, coming in at 512mb.

Other features on the Freedom include a 1.6GHz Intel Atom processor, 8GB of flash memory, Wifi, web cam and will run Windows XP. The battery life is said to last for 4.5 hours. The netbook is available to buy from PC Nextday for £241.61.

Hungry for more info about the upcoming Asus Eee PC T91? Luckily, we have some. Recently, this convertible touchscreen netbook got its first showing in the UK, and it was demonstrated to members of the press. Pocket-Lint was there to cover the event and while they didn’t get to do a full review of the said netbook, they did get to snap several photos and have made a gallery which the above embedded photo is taken from. Pocket-Lint mentioned that the Eee PC T91 could hit the UK by May for somewhere around £500 or about $690 USD. However, that information is not final yet, so we’ll have to wait for official word from Asus to confirm. In the meantime, head on down to see more photos of the Eee PC T91 via the link below.

As expected, O2 UK has finally launched its own free netbook/cheap laptop data plan bundle, and new subscribers can avail immediately of the offer. In total, O2 UK will give customers a choice between three laptops, but these only come in two models. One is the Samsung NC10, which has been hailed by many as the best netbook ever (before the Asus Eee PC 1000HE), and then there’s the Samsung R510 (and a “multimedia version” of the same).

The basic data plan comes with 3GB of download and costs £30 per month, with which either the Samsung NC10 or R510 can be availed for free. A £40 per month plan is also available and gives 10GB download, and both plans last two years on contract. So if you’ve been waiting for these deals ever since they were first announced, don’t be left out and contact your nearest O2 branch now.
