Acer is indeed in no mood to abandon netbooks as yet as recently they have launched the 24mm thick Acer Aspire One E100 which is loaded with few new and many standardized features. In addition to the typical netbook features like 10.1 inch screen, 1024 x 600 pixel resolution and Atom processor, the “aha!” feature of this netbook that makes it unique is the dual booting compatibility. With Acer Aspire One E100 you get the choice of either booting Windows 7 or Google Android. It also comes up with the 8 hours long battery life and that we all know is quite impressive for the price!

Targeting specifically the students, this netbook comes with rubber coating for bump protection. The netbook also has a special slot for the student name card. All in all, Acer Aspire One E100 seems to be a good buy for young people.

Dell has caught the eye of many Indian technology aficionados by launching yet another masterpiece – Latitude 2120 netbook.

Tailored and priced specifically for the Indian market, Dell has made sure that Latitude 2120 remains an irresistible offer for the Indians. At just Rs.19000, Dell has packed in various, not perfect, but quite reasonable features in this netbook. It is a mindboggling offer for young professionals and students as at such a low price this netbook provides ultimate pleasure of mobility with a number of intelligent features in the package.

Evident features include 1 GB DDR3 RAM, dual core Atom processor (N550), 10.1” HD screen supporting 1366×768 resolutions and rubber protection cover which prevents damage in case of any accident. The buyer may add more features to the netbook by adding more money to the price. Still, it is mindboggling if you think of all the features that are offered with this product for its low price.

Toshiba never likes to stay behind while others are showing off their new gadgets at the CES 2011, thus we shouldn’t be surprised to see the NB505.

However, what was surprising about this 2.9 netbook was that it offered Toshiba’s new rubberized EasyGrip Finish on the cover, numerous colour options, baseline specs (Windows 7 OS, 10-inch display, 250GB hard drive, 1GB RAM and an Atom processor) for a very affordable price – £192.60! Over the years, Toshiba has always offered it good netbooks for more, which is why this comes as a pleasant surprise. Let’s just hope that the netbook finds its way here quickly.

Acer just can’t bear being behind anyone, can it? The recently launched Aspire One Happy Netbook is just another of its amazing masterpieces. With its long-lasting battery life, slender and compact body structure, and amazing finishing, Acer’s new netbook is a guaranteed style statement among the youngsters. Easy to carry off and its small size makes it another happening device. It is not just the outer look that is outstanding, but its performance is also very amazing. It is incredibly fast for a netbook, as it uses dual core processors and 1GB memory RAM. Furthermore, we have parallel running operating systems on this piece as it uses Android alongside Windows 7 Starter Edition. Also, this new masterpiece has really good graphics, memory, storage space; everything way out of Netbook boundaries and at a moderate cost. So hurry up and grab this new wonder.

The Vodafone K3565 Mobile Broadband USB modem is among the most popular connections supplied by Vodafone for immediate and trouble-free wireless mobile access. This connection comes in with flexible pay plans. This means that you can enjoy the liberty of the “pay as you go” system or plain “Top up”.

The device is quite simple to install and connects right away without confusing the user. This broadband also serves the additional purpose of storing user data. This feature ensures that Vodafone not only targets customers who need an Internet connection, but also those who require a memory stick for data storage reasons. The Vodafone K3565 Prepay USB Mobile Broadband is perfect if you don’t desire a permanent service, but just require access to the internet on the go. Vodafone provides good coverage, and the speed is enough for checking emails and browsing.

With Samsung’s name slowly rising in the tablet makers’ list, the company comes to venture into a new territory – the hybrids. Samsung exhibited the prototype of a sliding PC which combined a tablet and netbook into one.

The Samsung device looks like a tablet and even comes with a touch-enabled LED screen, but since a QWERTY keyboard slides from the bottom, it looks just like a netbook. This offers people who require word processers with an ideal setup. In fact, this is what Samsung aims at since the device is expected to come with a Windows 7 operating system and its office suite. Though this is just a prototype, everyone’s abuzz with expectation and competitors are heading back to their drawing boards.

Mobile broadband has been a revelation for many of us who need to stay connected while we’re on the move. Thanks to an improving mobile network and competitive prices, it’s now cheaper and more convenient than ever to stay online while we’re out and about.

There’s a wealth of options open to you when considering cheap broadband deals from the mobile networks. The best way to weigh up your options is to use the services of a free comparison website, such as Broadband Genie, which will give an overview of all current offers and deals.

What’s more, a simple comparison allows you to pick through the often-confusing package options, so that you can more easily see the sort of deals that suit your needs. So, if you’re a reasonably heavy internet user and, say for instance, enjoy watching the latest TV episode of your favourite soap or download music on your laptop, then you may want to go for a package that has a more generous data allowance.

Having a mobile broadband deal that is generous on the data allowance front means that you won’t have to worry about being penalized if you overstep the limits imposed by providers. However, when it comes to speed we are all, unfortunately, susceptible to the same issues, such as network traffic and coverage, which can all slow down connectivity.

Nevertheless, mobile broadband is still a great way to get online while you’re on the go. Some mobile providers even throw in a free laptop and dongle with selected packages. These are generally contract based options, but they can make a lot of sense if you’re looking to get a nice new bit of shiny kit.

If you’re aiming for true simplicity though, and don’t want to have a contract, then try the option of pay-as-you-go mobile broadband. All you need do is buy a dongle, put some credit on it, plug it into a laptop or netbook and away you go… you can access the web and email while only paying for the time you’re connected.

Another option worth looking at is a mobile broadband tablet computer, such as the Apple iPad or Samsung Galaxy. They’re not cheap to buy, but these amazing new gadgets, besides looking extremely cool, allow portable internet on the move, without the bulk that you sometimes get with a laptop or netbook.

Whatever route you decide to take, by doing a quick comparison, you’ll definitely stand a better chance of getting a better deal. Not only will you save a bit of money, but you can search and compare deals in the comfort of your own home, tea and biscuits at hand without spending a penny too.

With the holiday season so near, you must be wondering what you should gift yourself this Christmas. Well, 3 Mobile has made this choice a lot easier because it has brought forth some new laptop deals with their mobile broadband dongle. The new deals offer the Samsung RV510, Compaq Presario CQ56, and the latest Samsung R540. Along with 3 Mobile’s dongle, this is definitely a treat for individuals looking for flexible internet access and a new laptop. Once you sign up for 3’s services, you agree to consolidate your laptop’s price and monthly internet bill into a single payment. Thus, for a minimum of £35, you will be able to get a new laptop and use it to surf the World Wide Web.

Just as all netbook manufacturers started relaxing and dreaming of awards for their masterpieces, Toshiba surprises all with releasing two netbooks that promise to redefine users’ experience as we know it. The Toshiba NB500 and NB520 are bound to hit the market soon in 2011; however, here’s a word of advice – if you really want to get the best value for your money, consider buying the NB520.

The NB520 brings forth a new advancement in the world of netbooks with its stereo Harman Kardon speakers. Even the latest netbooks can’t offer great sound since their speakers are of mediocre quality. Yet, that isn’t the case with NB520. The speakers can literally rock you in your shoes wherever you are. Aside from that, both netbooks offer 2GB of DDR3 memory, a 250 GB HDD, 10 hours of battery life, and a 10.1 inch LED display.

No news about the price yet, but once that’s in, you will be the first to know.

If there is one thing Orange won’t accept, it would be to be behind the times. The company recently released its own Wi-Fi device which runs on batteries. This USB Modem router is a very strong contender to the MiFi moniker produced by other telecommunication companies. Its main strength lies in its ability to function as a Wi-Fi device to connect different gadgets such as laptops and tablet PCs.

To make this new device even more attractive, Orange offers new mobile broadband plans which promise to be very enticing. You can easily buy the dongle at a fee of £49 and then pay as low as £5 a month for 500MB anytime. There are more plans which you can choose to access the web, so make sure to check out what Orange has in store.
