Netbooks are famous for both their rapid and massive success, as well as their equally fast fall from grace. Toshiba is contributing to the latter, or confirming it, according to Liliputing.
Basically, the company has said that it will no longer launch any new netbooks on the US market.
That sets it apart from Ac... |

There were murmurs saying that ASUS wasn't as optimistic as it used to be about its laptop sales, but a new report has arisen, one that refutes the claim.
Of course, since this report has a third party as the source, it is just as potentially erroneous as the one that implied ASUS' reduced optimism in the... |

Chromebooks sales haven’t been so successful, but they are still out there and new ones are being made, so information leaks are bound to happen from time to time.
Samsung, however, has become one of the companies that indirectly enabled more than just information to make it to the net.

Once a well-known developer and vendor of computers and related products and services, Compaq has finally reached the point where its name is about to become history.

You'd think that any great claim would be backed by some hard evidence, but Gigabyte deliberately neglected to provide it when it revealed the X11 notebook.
Of course, “revealed” is a bit too much of a stretch because the company only specified its name and that it is supposed to be “the ligh... |

The fourth quarter of Lenovo's fiscal year 2012 ended on March 31 and the company has finally finished tallying its sales and purchases.

With Microsoft’s Windows 8 operating system right around the corner, it seems that touch-enabled mobile computers will reportedly become much more popular than initially estimated.

Add-on wireless network cards aren't really all that popular, even though they are quite a bit better than the integrated solutions usually found in motherboards and laptops.

Intel still hasn't quite managed to get ultrabooks at the price level everyone is hoping for, so it needs to continue coming up with ideas for more affordable components.
So far, whatever concessions Intel and its partners made have been just that: concessions. In order to make them easier to sell, some drawba... |

Not being able to reach the desired price targets, notebook manufacturers will reportedly give up using SSDs in half of their UltraBooks. This is not really good news for either the users or for Intel, but it represents the reality that Intel’s platforms and CPUs are overpriced. Like we’ve written before... |

Netbooks fell almost as fast as they grew, in reputation, but that doesn't mean that there are no people buying them anymore, and Intel knows it.
Ever since tablets and, more recently, ultrabooks rose in profile, news about netbooks has been scarce, for several reasons.
PC makers have been launching fewer, fo... |

Acer was one of the, if not the only, notebook brand vendors to achieve shipment growth in the first quarter of the year (2012), but the second quarter isn't shaping up to be as promising.
In fact, it is reported that, during April 2012 (last month), revenues fell by 20.42% on month and 11% on year. The sum of... |

As we write about all sorts of devices, it takes really unusual things to impress us, and we dare say that the NEC LaVie Z ultrabook has some of that unique flare.

For now, though, we&... |

IT companies don't seem to talk about netbooks all that much nowadays, the product type having become somewhat of a has-been, but that doesn't mean no such small PCs are being made anymore.

Because of some sort of fashion sense or another, makers of portable computers really wanted ultrabooks to use all-aluminum cases, but that turned out to be a bad idea.
