A netbook that can boot either Windows or Android? Not a bad idea. Acer unveiled a new 10-inch netbook called the Aspire One AOD255 that comes loaded with both Windows and Android operating system, offering quick access to basic functions like e-mail and web browsing under Android, while still offering the full PC functionality from Windows XP. The dual-boot system features Acer’s Configuration Manager for Android that’ll let you choose which operating is loaded when you start it up.
MSI just announced a new partnership with the Los Angeles Dodgers, where MSI gets to slap on the Dodgers logo on the Wind Top AE2220 all-in-one desktop and on the 10-inch Wind U135DX netbook. The LA Dodgers will get their entire IT system updated with MSI systems, including Wind Tops for the Dodger Stadium front office. (But who are we kidding? No one outside of the Dodger’s payroll really cares about that part of the announcement.)
Asus just came out with the Eee PC 1215N, a netbook that breaks out of the usual low-performance, low-end mold by packing in a dual core processor and discrete graphics by Nvidia. The dual core processor comes in the form of Intel’s new D525 Atom though, so technically, this 12-incher is still a netbook.
Acer has just announced the Aspire One 533, featuring an all-new, ultraslim design and a nicely updated spec centered on Intel’s latest Atom chips.
Samsung has partnered up with Adidas and came out with this: a special FIFA World Cup-themed version of Samsung’s N150 netbook called the N150 Plus Adidas Special Edition. The new netbook sports a new glossy lid with World Cup-themed graphics and the Adidas logo stamped along the corner… and that pretty much makes up the “Plus Adidas” part.
