HP will surely arrive at CES with a few new products including some new laptops. People even say that the company is going to release quite a few new notebooks later this year including the new Mini 1000 Mi.

While the Mini 1000 Mi will get you some of that mobile Internet as early as next week for a starting price of only $379.99 for the Linux edition, we don’t have any idea when the other new notebooks will arrive. And these are a 13.3 inch Pavilion dv3z starting from $799.99, a 16 inch dv6t starting at $679.99, a 17 inch Pavilion G70 starting at $799.99 and a 15.4 inch Compaq Presario CQ60 which will start at $469.99.

CES is closer and closer and we’re more and more interested in the marvels it will uncover.

Yup that’s it, no specs or other information, just the picture you see above. Apparently what you see above is ASUS’s new S121 netbook-laptop hybrid, complete with a 12.1-inch screen (hence S121?).

There’s no telling where this thing will be released first or if it will even hit the states but at least we know what it may look like.

More pictures below.

We have a new Hello Kitty for you gals and girls. It’s the C1 Netbook which has the whole Hello Kitty mark on it. Like any other netbook it weighs under 3 pounts and it packs a 1.6GHz Intel Atom N270 processor, 1GB of RAM, a 120GB hard drive and a 10.1 inch display. Two USB ports, a 1.3 megapixel webcam, 802.11b/g WiFi and the usual Windows XP Home complete the specs’ list.

But unlike any other netbook, the C1 has Hello Kitty written all over it. That’s why it would cost you no less than $890 to get it. Too much you say? I agree!

Is Psystar trying to get free publicity out of the the whole Apple trial situation? The company has launched a new Mac clone desktop equipped with a Blu-ray and a new NVIDIA GPU. Leaving the fact that Blu-rays and Mac OS don’t quite mix that easily yet aside, Psystar seems unstoppable. No matter what Apple’s lawyers have said so far the company is going forward with its product.

An open notebook is apparently being created by Psystar. Psystar has confirmed it so you can expect to see one soon. I wonder how much the Mac clone notebook will cost. And where will such a notebook be actually built?

HP has been involved in the netbook business for quite a while. After its 8.9 inch Mini-Note 2133 we’ve analyzed in the past, we have just seen the new HP Mini 1000. Well actually we haven’t really seen it, since it’s briefly shown on HP’s site (check image above). The link doesn’t point to anywhere yet but that’s going to change soon. We know the HP Mini 1000 is a 10 inch netbook and its starting price is $399. We’ll be waiting for the hot specs then! Maybe someone… cough… HP… cough… should write up a nice press release about it!

I thought this was another netbook launched by Dell when in fact it’s the same Mini 9 we’ve seen about a month ago. The Dell Vostro A90 it’s a netbook which will launched in Japan only for now, and it will cost around $972 which is way out of my league when it comes to netbook prices.

The price is preposterous considering the fact the A90 doesn’t bring anything new to the table. It’s the same Mini 9 inside a new case. Anyone readying this from Japan? What do you think?

We’re about six hours away of the Apple MacBook event and we are anxious to see if any of the rumors we’ve had so far will be confirmed. So far we’ve seen the Brick Aluminum design; we’ve heard about the Apple netbook which is supposed to cost around $900; we’ve seen Best Buy prices which also revealed different color schemes and we’ve read quite a lot about the price cut everyone is expecting.

We don’t know that many things about the Air and we hope we will be in for some surprises. As we did with other Apple events, we’re going to keep you updated later on today when we’re going to be covering the event.

Toshiba’s growth in the notebook manufacturing market has been tremendous. Credit this to its Portégé laptop range. Now, Toshiba is planning to release its own super-thin notebook that could possibly rival Apple’s MacBook Air. This new model claims to be the world’s thinnest and lightest fully featured machine to date.

The Toshiba R600 weighs in at 1.1kg (2.4lb) and measures 283 x 215.8 x 19.5-25.5mm. The R600 is a bit similar to its older brother, the R500, which weighs exactly the same and has identical dimensions. The new model comes in two flavors: a 1.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo SU9400 model with 1GB of 800MHz DDR 2 memory and a 128GB solid-state drive, or a cheaper 1.2GHz Core 2 Duo SU9300 version with 2GB of 800MHz DDR 2 memory and a 160GB SATA HDD.

Besides the aluminum brick rumor and the already leaked photos of it, we have found another rumor worth spreading. Although there’s no confirmation yet from Apple it looks like various retailers have received inventory info showing an $800 laptop coming. Could it be Apple’s first netbook? I was wondering when would they start making them. Besides this the $800 model a whole new list of notebooks are rumored to be on the same inventory list.

What say you Apple? What about the MacBook event?

A while ago Amazon said they aren’t going to release a successor to Kindle, conspicuously referred to as the Kindle 2. According to Boy Genius Report there’s a device out there that resembles the Kindle which we might refer to as the Kindle 2.

The device appears to fix some of the flaws of the previous device. There are round corners and no oddball angles. The scroll wheel has been replaced with a joystick, the SD slot is history, and around the back there are some grills which might hide the stereo speakers you wished for.

Is this the right Kindle 2? We’re waiting for some official news. Feel free to throw in some availability dates and pricing.

SmartQ launched a new TAO PMP. I am not crazy about PMPs but I give them enough attention. Too bad they don’t have the required components to use them as a phone.

So without further ado, here are TAO’s features: (more…)

Fujitsu U820 or the U2010 received the FCC okay about two months ago. Despite that the new UMPC wasn’t available for U.S. customers yet.

While the size of the hard drive may not be very significant, it’s the physical dimensions that attract attention: Toshiba has announced a 1.8 inch 250GB hard drive that spins at 5400 rpm. Even more interesting is that it features SATA support, offering up to 3Gbps bandwidth for disk intensive applications.

The 8mm thick drive will surely make its way to ultra portable laptops, and will also replace a similar 240GB 1.8 inch hard drive that was announced some time ago, though it was stuck with a slower PATA interface suitable only for portable media players.

The drive hits mass production in November and will be part of the MKxx29GSG series.

Sony has a netbook to and it’s almost ready to release it. The Vaio TT will be officially unveiled tomorrow. The TT is going to replace the former TZ. We’ll be looking at WiFi, Bluetooth and EVDO support. The TT will be an 11.1 inch screen laptop, just like the TZ.

I’m curios how much the TT will cost. And if it will pack a new Atom 330 chip or not. We’ll find out more tomorrow.
