Note to HP: The Mini-Note PC rocks!

Watch out ASUS – HP’s Mini-Note PC might be a bit more expensive, but it’s squarely aimed at knocking the Eee PC off its perch as the most desirable sub-notebook computer out there. It comes with Linux or Windows, too – will the Mini-Note be the one for you?

Wal-Mart: 2008 not year of Linux desktop - sub-notebook maybe

It held such promise, an honest to goodness plug and play Linux desktop box selling for just US$199 at Wal-Mart stores across the US. Now, just four months after it was announced, the gPC from Everex has been canned by Wal-Mart because of poor sales. Perhaps Linux advocates are barking up the wrong tree pursuing desktops instead of sub-notebooks.

Why I need a 3G iPhone and a cheap sub-notebook

While Steve Wozniak was giving his views about what's wrong - or rather what could be better - with the current spate of Apple products, I was winging it to a conference in warmer climes.

Should I put Windows XP on my ASUS Eee PC?

The ASUS Eee PC comes pre-loaded with Xandros Linux, an operating system far less susceptible to viruses, spyware, malware and the other nasties that are almost of biblical proportions in the Windows world. So, even though ASUS makes a Windows XP driver disc to allow the easy installation of XP, and is due to start selling the Eee with XP pre-loaded, is XP worth the worry?

Earth to Apple, Earth to Jobs: You're not listening

At Macworld 2008, Steve Jobs once again strutted across the stage like a prize peacock, this time claiming to have learned from past mistakes by listening to Apple customers.
