"You're not seeing double: what we have for review today are the Acer and Gateway netbook "twins". At their core, these are virtually identical 10.1" Pine Trail netbooks, with all that entails. And these aren't the only "twin" netbooks out there, as just about every Pine Trail netbook boasts similar specs, features, and performance.

Other than cosmetic differences like the color and an LCD panel lottery that results in two different panels being used, there's nothing to separate these two netbooks from each other. So how do they stack up against the competition? And are they worth the entry price of $335 for the Acer or $340 for the Gateway? Join us as we compare a couple more netbooks against the competition."

"The new model from MSI is a special edition based on Intel´s latest Pinetrail platform to celebrate the sale of one million 10-inch U100 Wind netbooks.The special edition is available in either blue or red."

"What happens when you take a dual-core desktop Atom, add in NVIDIA's ION, and you stuff it into a 12" chassis? You get the ASUS 1201N, an interesting piece of hardware if you're in the market for something a bit more potent than your run-of-the-mill netbook."

"Looking for a laptop, netbook, or even a notebook this holiday season? We've put together our thoughts on the various price segments and have selected a few laptops worthy of mention for this buyers' guide."

"Acer promises all day computing on a single charge and the machine is thin and nicely designed as well. If you are in the market for a thin and sexy notebook that won’t break the bank, the Timeline we are checking out today may be just what you need. Read on for all the details."

"Toshiba’s entry into the U.S. netbook market soars past the competition with a stunning design, stellar keyboard, and the longest battery life of any netbook to date."

"The Acer Aspire One, ASUS Eee PC 1000HE, HP Mini 1000, Lenovo IdeaPad S10, MSI Wind and Samsung NC10 go head-to-head to determine which is the best 10-inch netbook."

"The two specifications are found in many smartphones and laptops today and usually operate independently of each other. A new specification called alternate MAC/PHY for Bluetooth will have Wi-Fi and Bluetooth working together."

"I felt a great disturbance in Force...

...like a million Intel chipsets suddenly cried out and then were suddenly silenced.

After having played with NVIDIA's ION platform for the past week in-house, I can honestly say that any company not at least seriously considering adopting an ION platform design has no desire to be on the forefront of PC technology. I don't want to ruin the ending right out of the gate, but it shouldn't be a news flash: the Intel 945G chipset just cannot compare to modern GPU-based chipsets like the NVIDIA GeForce 9400M. The ION platform, essentially the 9400M chipset coupled with an Intel Atom processor, easily becomes the best super-small-form-factor solution for netbooks, mini-PCs and even modest HTPCs."

"Finally we have retail Centrino 2 laptops in our labs for testing. Are these new notebooks all they're cracked up to be, or do they leave us wanting?"

"Archos takes on the iPod touch with a touchscreen media player of its own."

"MSI offers an alternative to the Eee PC 1000."

"The ASUS Eee PC may not be for everyone but with a new Windows XP version that maintains the same $399 price point it might find a way into your home whether you originally were interested or not."

"Here we have it, confirmation that the second generation Eee PC will in fact feature an 8.9-inch (resistive) touchscreen display. Kevin Lin, ASUS VP of Sales, says that the $500 (starting price) Eee PC will begin shipping in May or June in 8GB to 12GB options with "possible GPS support.""

"We look at the 2G Surf's features, usability, and differences from the 4G. Is this the right tool for the job, and if so, what's the job?"
