- i'm very interested to see how much the t91 ends up costing.
- Problem with speakers/sound when putting it on your Lap (laptop) is that you should be putting in on a Net (netbook). Nets have holes, and this helps with the sound transmission from the speaker!
- This is the most comprehensive and user friendly review I have seen. Thankyou. You have sold me on the merits of this Netbook whilst being aware of its minimal downfalls.
- " ... but a better deal is unclicking the GPS for a HD netbook with 6-cell battery and good keyboard for only $329." All good things come to an end when the corporations discover them....
- That out-sourced forum is just not my style - I am not a "social networking" person. Maybe someday I'll set up my own - but I have spent too much time on Netbooks these past 18 months...

You might want to know about this re-branded MSI WIND that should be available here in the Czech Republic in August:
http://www.mivvy.eu/index.php?page=m310
Even though the site is in Czech, the specifications should be clear.
Let me just point out that compared to MSI, Mivvy will have 2GB of RAM and 120 GB HDD !
At first it should come with a 3-cell battery, but a 6-cell battery is already listed as an optional accessory.
From what I have gathered, the price (Linux/3-cell batery version) should start at around $630, which is about $130 cheaper than the Linux/3-cell battery version of MSI Wind available here (plus double the RAM and 120 GB of HDD space!).
This seems to be quite a competitor for MSI Wind in the Czech Republic ;-)

With 2 day air, my total was $591.40. Yep, that's a bit expensive. But, with the Wind sold out everywhere, demand is apparently high, so price goes up - Econ 101. I want time to try XP and experiment with Linux before school starts.

2. More columns to separate data for better sorting:
Ex: Separate Min & Max values into two columns.
Ex: Separate display size and pixel count.
Ex: Separate connectivity into columns by type.
Ex: Separate storage type and size.
3. When various models are available show on separate lines.
Ex: Storage type SSD and HD

i have been reading your liliputing posts and got a lot of information.
2 weeks ago i purchased a Bestlink Alpha-400 unit, i have prepared a file using the Abiword software pre-installed on the unit then i tried to PRINT OUT the file using a Epson Stylus PHOT 830 but the print did not response (no movement) and there was no window appeared on the Alpha-400 indicating what was wrong or what else was lacking/required in order to PRINT.
May be you or an one among your subscribers have experienced this same problem before and might have a solution to my problem.

There is a "control panel" to set Networking, Sound, Date+time and User ; but nothing about adding a printer. Moreover, there does not seem to be any UPDATE SOFTWARE manager of any kind.
The practical thing would be to email the manufacturer as adding a printer does not seem an option.
Obviously your printer needs software to operate, pluging the USB does not suffice. If a kernel module is needed, it will have to be specially prepared (compiled) for the MIPS processor.

I had an interesting find at NCIX.com (they're a big electronics retailer in Canada and ship worldwide). The have the MSI WIND u90 in stock, all 3 colors, for 342.00 with shipping to NY (for me) just 20.00...and no tax. This is cheap WIND alternative if you like to experiment with this little netbooks like myself. It comes with Novell SUSE as the OS with 512mb ram . http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=1111...

I would like to say TANK YOU for your review of the notebooks available, which is certainly the most complete on the net.
My personal choice goes to the GDIUM. It's processor seems very impressive, uses RISC instruction set, 64 bits, and dissipates very low heat. Therefore, there is no need for a heatsink fan. Thus, without a traditional hard drive, the machine will be completely noiseless. Moreover, I understood all the software is set to run on a 64 bits mode, which means FAST computing.
Your notes on this particular notebook and the different Linux flavours to be found out there end with a series of questions.
I would like to return to you the same idea, not on computers but on cars.
Imagine you went to a garage more than 50 years ago, to buy yourself a new car.
You ask the sales attendant for the different colours available. And he would reply to you there is only one : BLACK. Next, you would like to choose the motor, and the vendor would respond there is only one motor. Are you satisfied ???
No, you don't want to choose between a Black T Ford, and a Black T Ford, you want CHOICE.
Linux, and free sofware is all about CHOICE and customization. My life has changed since I left MS operating systems 4 years ago. It took me some time to learn, but I will never go back.
Yours Truly,

I have been perusing your site for sometime and appreciate all the work you do and the "help" I’ve gotten from your site thus far.
I'm getting a bit dizzy though trying to keep it all straight with sooo many netbooks and umpc's available.
Hoping you can narrow the field down for me. I don‘t wish to pay more then $800.00 and my needs are pretty simple:
~ fast and dependable connectivity for wifi
~ small & light weight, one I don’t need to scroll back and forth to read all the time
~ one I can see the screen clearly in the direct sunlight and work at the beach if needed
~ one I won’t wreck at the beach ;-)
~ a longer battery life would be appreciated for those beach days too
All I do is tons of e-mail for my job and surf the web. Spell check and some kind of word processor thingy would be welcome as I‘m a horrid speller and e-mail spell check takes to long.
Any help and suggestions you can give me would be greatly appreciated as I need a new computer…. yesterday!

Between the hours of 11am and 4pm (BST), Expansys will be dropping the price of the white EeePC 701 Surf (4GB) to £117.99. I know it's not exactly a cutting edge netbook these days, but it's hard to argue with that price. I wonder who will be the first to reach a double-digit figure?

Please add another field to your computer database:
monitor: glossy or antiglare
I think this is an important overlooked feature.
9 months ago
This allows people like me to have an easy one-stop jumping-off point to pursue our interests in as much detail as we like, or we can just stay here and discuss them with knowledgable bloggers to our heart's content.
Now, on top of all this you keep improving the netbook database! It's much easier to use now that we can see the whole field at once and consolidate the models we want to compare. (Previously, I just printed the whole thing out.)
As I've said before in the blogs, this database has saved me hours of searching and re-searching for data as my interests have gone from one unit to another, and I'm very grateful for this service.
Of course, the database chart has a limited number of columns and a decision has to made as to what info and specs to include in the chart and what to relegate to the product datasheets only.
If these decisions are not already set, I, being something of an information freak, would favor more information over the lack of a "busy" looking chart. This would make it a little easier to compare more data between selected units.
If necessary, some specs could be doubled up in the same cell with related information, such as RAM + max RAM, status + price, dimensions + weight, and screen size + resolution. If this is not practical, I'm certainly not going to complain, because now you've made it so easy to go to the datasheets.
As for the datasheets, I would like to have as much information as possible on them, since I'm not the one who would have to search it out, keep track of it, and update it :)
Any information available about chipsets, wifi adapters, open mini-PCIe slots, built-in 3G antennae, and the like would be great. (I know a lot of this is seldom available and changes without notice, etc... this is beginning to sound like another full-time job :)
In any case, thanks again!

9 months ago
it has 802.11n and a multi-touch keypad and a trusted brand name in the
netbook space. Others prefer the MSI Wind because it has a more conventional
keyboard layout (the right-shift key is not to the right of the up-arrow),
may get better battery life according to some tests, and runs OS X pretty
well.
It really comes down to a matter of preference. I cannot say which netbook
is right for you.

will most likely go with Asus, mainly because of the name. From what I
read, battery life is close and I think the Asus is easier to upgrade to 2
GB RAM and a larger HDD.

I have been enjoying your site very much. I am trying to remember one of the reviews which discusses which netbook has the best keyboard to type with. Which has got me thinking - would it be possible to some best lists to the site - best screen (biggest or brightest, etc) , best keyboard, longest battery life, and so on? These short lists could link through to the full length reviews and would provide an easy way to find the best netbook for your needs.

I need a few keys for my eeepc 701 pearl white. My son is 2 1/2 and he somehow got my eee and peeled some keys off. Its not a warranty thing obviously but I wonder if you know where I could buy replacement keys, even used from some modder or something. I’m only missing two keys and a few of the spring things that hold them in, key mounts?
If it helps any -
I’m missing both brackets keys but have the mounts, missing mounts for O P and ” but have the keys.
Any direction or assistance would be great, if not thanks anyway.

I was one of the first people to jump on the CTL 2go with 6 cell battery offer, I bought it before you updated that the current price is 499.99. The page said that it would ship within 1-2 business days. The next day I got an email from a rep named Hannah that they were backed up and couldn't ship for 1-2 weeks. I shot back a short reply asking for refunded shipping if it wasn't going to make it in the time they originally stated (even though I got the regular UPS ground). Today I got an email that they are going to refund that much and apologized for the delay.
Since, in my experience, these small gestures are hard to come by from e-shops, thought it was worth mentioning.

Although we are going to publish the official pictures in mid February here some preliminary information:
(1) keyboard, see attachment
(2) HDD - 7200 rpm
(3) maximum RAM - 2GB
Hope this helps - Happy Cherrypaling!
I have the pic of the keyboard and can send it to you if you want. It shows 2 full shift keys and dedicated page up/down buttons, which to me, are very important.

I'm on my second netbook (HP Mini 1000) and have been using it during a trip to remote parts of India. Here are some quirks that don't come up in reviews that you might want to look at when reviewing other models:
. t
1) when the battery starts to drain, you need to turn it off, plug it in and turn it back on if you want it to work on electricity and not further drain the battery. I'm assuming that this is some sort of hardware compromise. I wonde.r how many other netbooks work this way. It took me a while to figure out how to make it bypass the battery.
2) Even though it comes with XP / SP 3, it won't connect to a wireless network with WPA security. MS swears that SP 3 supports WPA so I wonder what's going on here. This REALLY limits its usability. I wonder if this is an issue with other netbooks.

More importantly, they responded that the Mini 1000 does NOT support WPA2 - I poked around on-line and am guessing that the problem is the wireless card, which is to a pre-WPA standard. http://forums.macosxhints.com/archive/index.php...
I never would have thought to check this type of compatibility on a new netbook and now realize that, blogs like Liliputing and all, I need to research the compatibility of EVERY component before I buy, which stinks. I'll post on the HP Mini blog to see if anyone has upgraded the card and how it went. Otherwise, I may be in the market for yet another new netbook - once I know which new system makes the best hackintosh...

Dell has posted the manuals for the Mini 10. I've summarized it in the Mini 10 forums at MyDellMini. You can find it here: http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/i...
