Apple MacBook White 5,2 Mid 2009

Is plastic still good? After the introduction of the aluminium MacBook (Pro) laptops, the white MacBook made from polycarbonate hasn't got much attention. The low-price entry-level model from Apple is in no way a discontinued product, as it has ...

Toshiba NB Netbook, Episode 2. As the 8.9 inch sized NB 100 has recently been in our test lab, now Toshiba's second netbook coup, the NB 200, is already on the test-bench. This time, however, with a 10.1 inch display for an improved overview. The ...

The new optical make-up with the fine diagonal lines has something. The case and its qualitatively high workmanship could also convince. Even if barely anything has happened with the hardware configuration, the jump from the NB 100 to the NB200 is, ...

Column: Netbooks for Gamers

Column: Netbooks for Gamers

By J. Simon Leitner

Wishful thinking or already reality? It's but just a year ago that Asus had triggered a wildfire with their original Eee PC, the 701 4G, in the notebook world. Looking back, it was just at the right moment as the economy crisis put both the ...

Netbook and gaming are not inevitably two completely incompatible terms, but it does depend strongly on the individual notion of the broad term "gaming", and if you can draw up a positive or a rather unsatisfactory summary in view of this. Generally, ...

Acer Aspire One 751

Wide, light, and enduring…Acer brings into play a format so far untypical of netbooks with the 11.6" Aspire One 751 and calls it a "Widescreen Netbook". Image and sound are supposed to be rendered especially "breath-taking" through this niche-modell, ...

Review Acer Aspire 5935G Notebook

By Martina Osztovits
