Let’s see the system specifications of the new ASUS Eee PC T101 MT, then we’ll get to the first impressions:
Specs:
- 1.66 GHz Atom N450 CPU with Hyper Threading Technology

Build wise it is tougher and the screen hinges also seems fine for long term use, but it is reassuring. The Chiclet keyboard isn’t that much flexible either an almost all keys are large enough for touch typing with the exception of the area with directional arrows, CTRL, SHIFT and Fn, which will be annoying.
The first thing which you will immediately realize is that where is the power button? You’ll seek it for a few seconds before finding it.

Six Things That Make iPad a Bad Buy!
Although many people are fascinated by the Apple’s iPad, but unfortunately it may not be as good as it seems. There are some prominent drawbacks that make iPad not a nice buy.
1. No Multitasking
The iPad is supposed to be a replacement for netbooks, but is it possible do this without the ability to multitask? This means that if you open one application, you will be unable to do anything else. Listen to Pandora while writing a document or having Twitter app opened at the same time as the browser is only a dream now. This alone makes iPad less attractive.
2. No Cameras
Such a big screen, and no camera? I wonder what the downside was for including at least one camera. It could have made iPad much more than it is, enabling voice chat too.
Apple’s Shares Hit New High On Tablet Excitement
Recent news is that the technology company, Apple, is ready to launch a new, touch-sensitive mini-laptop, probably named as the iSlate, possibly as soon as next month.
There are hopes that the launch of the new device could do the same for the ebook and netbook, what iPhone did to mobile phones, i.e. become the sole leader of the market.
This anticipation has pushed shares in the company to a record high of $209.06 on December 24, up 3.4pc on the day alone. The shares have more than doubled in the past year.
Nokia Booklet 3G
The giant phone maker, Nokia, has re-entered the computer manufacturing business, which it had left in 1991.
The re-entry has been done with the introduction of the Nokia Booklet 3G to the portable computer world, with the strong advantage of long battery life, which is one of the main features, the company’s phones are famous for.
Although it does seem like a strange idea, having a netbook created around a battery, but someone who has to travel extensively and uses battery power will understand the requirement of a long battery life.
The Nokia Booklet gives a very stylish look, to the extent that it may put Apple laptops behind.
Nokia has successfully abandoned some of the traditional ways of heat dispensing and overall manufacturing methodology that have been seen before in netbooks.
