Another Asus Eee PC having dual core Intel Atom processor will be announced shortly on May 13, named the Asus Eee PC 1215N. The rumor stated that Asus 1215N specification will use a 1,5GHz speed Intel processor supported by nVidia ION 2 GPU that adds Nvidia Optimus Technology into the 1215N. The screen size of this Eee PC netbook is not yet announced, but more specification details were promised to come along in a few days.

What made people rather excited with this Eee PC 1215N is because they expect that this multi core netbook will have some strenght in the graphic department, since NVidia ION 2 is known to be good with HD content playbacks. With the addition of Optimus technology in Asus 1215N, their user will have the flexibility to choose between dedicated and integrated graphics that will affect the battery life. Eee PC 1215N price or its release date were still unannounced, I guess we’ll have to wait until May 13 and see whether this 1215N will be as successful as 1201N or not in the market.

If you’re not satisfied with the latest single-core Atom netbooks and start to wonder whether there will be a come back of new dual core Atom netbooks, then your wish will be answered shortly. The benefits of the multicore processors will be back into the new netbooks coming this June. Netbooks manufacturer like Hewlett-Packard, Lenovo, Dell and Toshiba may still engage the market with their singe-core Atom processor netbook and boasting a good battery life for the exchange while Asus keeps offering their dual-core Atom processors in their Eee PC netbook.

Netbooks from Hewlett-Packard, Lenovo, Dell, and Toshiba are offered exclusively with single-core Atom processors, which provide good battery life but lack the performance of multicore chips. Though Asus has been offering a dual-core Netbook, this kind of design is rare because it shoehorns a more power-hungry Atom chip built for small desktop PCs into a larger laptop-sized casing.

If you ever read Asus 1201N review, then you might get the picture why a dual core Intel Atom netbooks is still beneficial to use since it gives you some balance in performance and battery life. This new Intel Atom dual core processor will be expected to show up around the June Computex conference while some source stated that it will be released in 2010 Q2.

This release of the new multicore netbooks can take advantage from delays of Linux OS and ARM processor powered netbook. I guess that time is becoming the essence here to take the 2010 netbook spotlight. Let’s see who will win this competition

The whole rumors is clarified by Google CEO that they were going to release their Android tablet pc on their own, because they wanted to dominate the tablet PC under Google’s own brand. They have tried to cooperate with the third party vendor in Nexus One, and the results seems unsatisfying for Google.

If this Google tablet PC is going to be released this year, then the new gadget from Google will be competing against Nokia’s Meego devices, HP Slate, Dell Streak and the already released Lenovo IdeaPad s10-3. That would be a tight competition for this Android tablet gadget. We’ll see who will be the best tablet pc around for 2010

Netbooks, being one of the best selling gadget last year and predicted to have a significant growth this year will make many PC vendors keep their watch in this products. And for some netbook users, the existence of Google Chrome OS is like a fuel that stimulate their interest to watch the development in netbook technology.

In the late January, Acer made their statement about producing their own Chrome OS netbook this year. Now, Samsung, as one of the brands that own one of the best buy laptop last year recently announce to release their Samsung Chrome OS netbook too this year. The spesification of this netbook that was leaked until now were a 10.1 screen chrome netbook with the availability of 2GB memory, 3G and WiFi connectivity, and hold a storage capacity of 64GB at a minimum.

What made this publication interesting is they designed this Samsung netbook so that it would be able to run up to 12 hours. That was a quite long battery lifetime Samsung Chrome mobile pc have don’t you think? Many people began questioning what chipset that will be the base of this Samsung Chrome netbook, there is no official statement have been made about this, but most people speculate that the chipset that will be used in this chrome netbook by Samsung is the 1.5 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon CPU. Well, we all looking forward to hear from you Samsung

HP 5102’s exterior design were pretty good, its body is made of magnesium alloy and aluminium, giving a sturdy feel to it, a really good choice for netbook users who hates netbook’s plastic body. 5102 size were pretty proportional too, its definitely not the thinnest netbook around, but its dimension (10.3 x 7.1 inches) didn’t made the flexibility and mobility aspect of this netbook go away. In fact, weighing 2.5 pound or 3.3 pound when you count the AC adapter weight, this HP Mini netbook would give a solid and durable one when you bring it with you.

I must say that 5102’s keyboard and control design were pretty good. Using a nice pebble style and giving a more attention to some functional keys like Shifts really made me enjoy typing on this netbook. Mini 5102’s touch pad design still adapt the traditional ones, with the buttons below the touch pad though I have no problem with that.

This HP netbook screen features a 1024×600 resolution. It’s not a HD resolution, but I hope HP will release one that would have 1366×768 HD resolusion like HP Mini 311.

To conclude our HP Mini 5102 review, this netbook can compete fairly with Toshiba Mini NB305-N410BN that uses the same N450 processors, eventhough compared too Asus 1005PE, the Mini 5102 still lose in the battery lifetime and iTunes encoding test. But still, with 5102 priced on $399, it is one of the best buy netbooks around I think

The touch screen interface available in this Compaq netbook can be seen in their touch-based tabbed browser, you can even zoom webpages using your touch. This interface also very useful when you work with media apps and shortcut menu that have been touch optimized.

Until now, there haven’t been any announcement of Airlife 100’s price, but HP promised that their android netbooks might be available in certain selected country. What we know is, the sold this Compaq netbook exclusively for Telefonica. An android powered netbook that was subsidized by Telefonica, we can expect that this HP netbook price will be affordable.
