The Emtec Gdium Liberty 1000 netbook has 10 inch, 1024 x 600 pixel display screen. It is different from other netbooks because it does not have drive. Instead it uses a removable USB key called the G-Key where you can store your files. You can take the G-Key out from the netbook and lend the netbook to another person without the fear of getting your data files compromised. Isn't that nice?


When the Emtec Gdium Liberty 1000 netbook was released, it was priced for over $500 dollars. However, the price is now lowered to less than $300. You read that one right. Amazon Store offers the netbook for just $265.99 with free shipping.

I would have liked the M&A Companion Touch, which is based on Intel's Classmate 3 design, had it not because of its 8.9 inch screen. I prefer a 10" netbook/mini laptop. When I had the Acer Aspire One, 8.9", it didn't last long with me. I sold it to a friend. But the M&A Companion Touch may still get my nod since it is a touchscreen tablet with a full keyboard and its price if less than $500.
M&A Companion Touch features/specs:

- 1.6GHz Intel Atom N270 CPU
- Windows XP
- 4 cell battery
- 1G of RAM
- 60GB hard drive
- 802.11b/g/n
- 2 USB 2.0 ports
- SD card slot
- VGA port

You can buy the M&A Companion Touch here for $499.99.

Most netbooks do not have a CD/DVD drive because mainly of the dimension limitation. With a size as small as a portable DVD player (a thickness of about an inch) where can you fit in a DVD drive? So is there a netbook or mini-laptop model with a DVD drive?

Answer: Yes. So far, there are two. The first one is the ASUS Eee PC 1004Dn. It has a look similar to that of the Eee PC 1002HA, but it has the a disc drive that could read and burn DVDs and CDs. Cool huh! The problem is, the American market may not see it soon. It may be released in China and Europe.

ASUS Eee PC 1004Dn specifications/features:
* CPU: 1.66GHz Intel Atom N280
* Display: 10.2 inch, 1024 x 600 pixels
* RAM: 1GB
* HDD: 160GB
* Connectivity: 802.11b/g/n, Bluetooth
* Expansion: 3 USB ports, 1 VGA port
* Dimensions: 10.4″ x 7.1″ x 1″

The latest company to announce the release of netbooks with a DVD drive is Japan’s Mouse Computers. It may launch the LB-F1500 netbook.

Mouse Computers LB-F1500 netbook features/specifications:
- 1.6GHz Intel Atom CPU
- 10.2 inch
- 1024 x 600 pixel display
- 1GB of RAM
- 160GB Hard drive
- DVD Super Multi Drive.
- Windows XP
- 802.11b/g support

The price? It could be around $750 US.

You may not believe it, but the $199 Pegatron netbook may become the cheapest netbook if they pursue on releasing it into the mini-laptop market.
The price is not final yet. Some specs of the cheapest netbook have surfaced already.

Pegatron netbook will be a Linux device that could get up to 8 hours of battery life. That's even more than the battery life of the Samsung NC10.

According to a new study, shipments of notebook computers (I think this includes the netbooks) overtake desktop sales in the third quarter of 2008 for the first time. The research firm iSupply released the results showing the notebook shipments shot up about 40 percent from the same period a year ago to 38.6 million, while desktop shipments fell about 1.3 percent to 38.5 million.

The numbers underscore a broader shift toward portable computing as more functions like e-mail and Web surfing migrate to mobile phones and the popularity of inexpensive "netbooks" used mainly for Internet access grows.

The study projects portable computers sales will grow by 15.2 percent in 2009, while expecting a 6.7 percent decline for desktops and servers using PC microprocessors.

Gateway is a popular laptop brand name. But I haven't heard anything about a Gateway netbook. But, finally, the company is launching a new Gateway LT1001G netbook in the market.
The Gateway mini laptop, will have these specs:

- 1.6GHz Intel Atom CPU
- 8.9 inch screen
- 1024 x 600 pixel display
- 1GB of RAM
- 160GB hard drive

The features are common to what you mostly get from other netbooks. The Gateway netbook's price in Singapore is $688. That is $458, equivalent US price.

Note: Acer owns Gateway. That could be the reason why the Gateway netbook looks like an ACER Aspire One.
