Darius Chang | Oct 27, 2009

Design, design, design. With almost all Netbooks sporting the same, tired Atom chipset, vendors have turned to distinct covers to attract attention. Lenovo has recently revamped its IdeaPad S10-2 with a range of five new artworks that will probably appeal to the ladies.

Psystar looking for trouble in all the right places

Darius Chang | Oct 26, 2009

Perhaps Psystar's sensing that the end is near for its Mac clones, but the Miami rebel is not going to go silently into the night. It created a stir back in April 2008 when it became the first company to sell non-Apple PCs with Mac OS X preinstalled via its online store. Though these "Hackintosh" desktops are not without some bugs, Psystar addresses a niche market which wants an Apple operating system without being restricted to the Cupertino's hardware selection.

XP Netbook owners' upgrade path to Windows 7 made easier

Ina Fried | Oct 23, 2009

After months of grappling with the issue of how to allow Windows XP Netbook owners to move to Windows 7, Microsoft is ready with its answer.

Starting on Thursday, Microsoft is adding a tool to its online store that will allow those who buy Windows 7 to create a bootable USB drive with the operating system that can then be used to upgrade a Netbook.

"There are lots of XP Netbooks out there," Microsoft's Chris Flores said in an interview. "We wanted to make it as easy as possible for the enthusiasts that want to do this."

Microsoft plans to make available on Thursday a tool that will walk users through the process of moving a downloaded copy of Windows 7 onto a USB drive, be that a memory stick or portable hard drive.

Video: Watch Dell Adamo XPS' heat-sensing strip in action

Joanna Stern | Oct 23, 2009

(Credit: Gizmodo)

The Dell Adamo XPS isn't only ridiculously thin, it opens like no laptop ever seen before. Its propped-up keyboard can only be opened by sliding a finger on the lid's heat-sensing strip. See it below to believe it...

Did your mouth drop? Because mine did. All I know is that rubbing that strip illuminates it and unlocks the aluminum lid. I also got to hold the system for a bit and it is really really sturdy. I thought it would be more flimsy, but it has strength.

I can't tell you much more, other than it will be officially announced in November and production is scheduled to ramp up soon. As for what's inside, I can sleep soundly now that I know that there isn't an Intel Atom processor (like the Sony Vaio X), but rather will use an Intel ULV chip of some sort.
