Looks like Asus isn’t the only one making decent-looking laptops under the Php20k price category. Acer’s entry in the budget laptop (student laptop) market is the Acer Aspire E1.
This is so far the cheapest Cedar Trail netbook we’ve ever seen being sold locally — a Linux-based Gateway LT4000 (a brand owned by Acer).
Intel’s latest Atom Cedar Trail chips for netbooks just started to arrive in the Philippines. The first one we spotted is the Acer Aspire One D270 selling for under Php20k.
About 10 months ago, I wrote a short entry on why I think Google’s Chromebook will fail. Some readers told me it was too early to tell back then, so I patiently waited. It’s more than a year now since the announcements of Chromebooks and I haven’t really seen one yet.
Since early this year, we have not heard nor seen any new nettops announced locally. After the craze on netbooks several years ago, companies like Intel were banking on nettops as the next major market.
The Asus Eee PC Transformer TF101 is the first Android tablet of its kind. One one end, it’s a Honeycomb tablet and on the other, it’s an Android netbook. Its design and form factor gave it a bit of an edge that no other tablet can match. Read on and check out our full review [...]
So Google finally announced the Chromebooks and first units will be shipping in the US and Europe by June 15. Both Samsung and Acer are set to ship out their own variants of the Chromebook.
Apple’s been touting the 2010 Macbook Air as the thinnest and lightest notebook ever. With the 11.6″ MBA out in stores and an entry-level unit coming in at Php52k, it’s actually one of the most affordable Macbook in Apple’s line-up. Check out our full review after the jump.
Acer’s new dual-core AMD-based ultraportable is the Acer Aspire 1551. It’s the fraternal twin of the Aspire 721 we reviewed a while back with an identical design and body. Check out our full review below.
Both Asus and Acer have released their upgraded netbooks sporting dual-core Atom CPUs and looks like Samsung has just followed suit with the Samsung NP-NF210.
Dual-core Atom processors are making the rounds of the usual 10-inch netbooks. I’m currently reviewing the Eee PC 1215N but looks like the Asus Eee PC 1015PEM is also out in stores.
Asus Philippines brought us here in Subic to introduce us to a whole new line of laptops they’re ready to sent out to stores. The Asus Lamborghini VX6 was first to go out the ramps.
Acer calls this their ultimate multi-media laptop with a large 18.4-inch 1080p display running a Core i7 and ATI Radeon 5850. The Acer Aspire Ethos 8943G comes with all the bells and whistles to make your desktop PC look like a netbook.
Samsung Philippines introduced their very first line of 14-inch laptops (R440, R480) in the Philippines yesterday, including a refresh of their netbooks (N220P, N150P).
This new Acer Aspire One 721 is a pretty interesting unit. It sits between the Aspire One 751 running the low-power Atom Z520 and the Timeline 1801tz running a dual-core Pentium ULV. Check our full review after the jump.
So I got this Acer Aspire One D260 in Singapore during the PC Show 2010 earlier this month. I got it for about 15k and being a new model, I thought it was a bargain (it’s selling for 24k here).
The Acer Aspire One 532g is supposed to be the first 10-inch netbook to sport the NVidia Ion platform (GeForce 9400M) but it looks like Acer has pull the units out of store shelves too early.
Just saw in one brochure that the Acer Aspire One D260 is now being offered locally by the Taiwanese company. The Aspire One D260 was said to dual-boot between Android OS and Window 7 when it was first announced.
And we thought Intel has completely dominated the 10-inch netbook market with the Atom processor — it looks like Acer has gotten its hand on an AMD K125 CPU running at 1.7GHz on their new Aspire One AO521.
Asus’ 12-inch CULV and Acer’s 11.6-inch Timeline notebooks are two of the most interesting models in the ULV category as they both offer portability and long battery life of netbooks but the processing power of laptops. So we looked closer and compared them here.
Aside from Gateway, Acer also owns the eMachines brand for low-end market and they’ve re-packaged the Acer Aspire One D250 into the eMachines Acer EMD250 NetBook.
As thin as 1.96cm or 0.77 inch, the Asus UX30 is similar to the SeaShell netbook series, only bigger at 13.3″ and powered by an Intel CULV processor.
CULV notebooks (thin, light, long battery life) are slowly becoming the new hot segment in mobile computing. They won’t be as hot as netbooks but they’ll be a better performing alternative.
The Eee PC T91 is Asus’ first tablet netbook and while it’s not really the first one in this category (Gigabyte did the M912 tablet netbook last year), Asus is looking to revive the trend of the tablet PC.
MSI’s next Wind U-series netbook line is dropping the Atom for a Pentium CULV processor in its upcoming 12″ MSI Wind u200 ultra-mobile notebook.
