What Is This Miniature Laptop?

So you open up your weekly sales ad and notice that they are selling these miniature laptops called Netbooks. You might be wondering what these are and why would people even want them? Well there are many reasons why people might purchase these.

For starters a Netbook is a mini laptop with a screen that is usually no bigger than 10″. They are very light in weight and are very portable. Their primary functions are surfing the web, checking email, and they also work good for people that do powerpoint presentations.

Typically most have 2 USB ports, an Ethernet port, and VGA out so you can connect it to a projector where the powerpoint presentations would come into play, or a bigger monitor at home. They also usually have wireless cards in them that make it even easier to get online.

They are becoming very popular and it seems like every manufacturer is hopping on board to make one these days. Even Apple is going to bring one out.

Currently they come with either Linux or Windows XP with very few coming with Windows Vista. Even then it’s only Vista Basic which is missing all the best features.

These are also supposed to be a cheaper alternative to a regular laptop. That doesn’t seem to be the case as you can find descent laptops with similar specs for around the same price. So unless you are looking for an extra computer for the coffee table or something that’s ultra portable, you might want to stick with a normal laptop where you get more bang for your buck!

[BREAKING NEWS] New Apple iPhone 3G S released

Dick — Mon, 08 Jun 2009 22:33:20 +0000

Apple had their keynote address today, which is fancy for saying “a meeting where they come out and show off their latest and greatest stuff to the media”, and the biggest news of the day was the introduction to the new iPhone touted the iPhone 3G S in which the “S” stands for “speed”.

First, off, it looks exactly the same as the last one. The ad campaigns (see below) have hit the ground running and are already addressing that fact because they simply know it’s gonna get mentioned a bajillion times. It looks the same. Which shouldn’t bother anyone really because there’s just simply nothing wrong with the design right now….it’s still pretty much the best design out there. So don’t fix what ain’t broke I guess.

So whats new? Why do you care?
It’s faster….”much faster” they are telling us. Some applications will be up to 4 times faster. Even though they haven’t released any specs on the new processor. Plus the camera is much improved (3.0 megapixles compared to 2.0 on the old 3G). And now it has video too. It comes with an actual magnetic built in compass…for I guess, when the GPS fails? Someone needs to explain that to me more. The biggest news though seems to be the better battery life, which on paper sure doesn’t look all that better, but anything is better at this point. One things for sure…all this iPhone news has got me hyped up for the new Nokia N97!

So what do you guys think?

Here it is on the official site -> Apple iPhone 3G S
