Netbook(s) of the day
Not a day goes by that we don’t see the notice go up for a new mini-notebook. The netbook space is crowded if nothing else and even the big boys are wanting to play now. Today comes word of not one but two new netbooks announced with super cheap price points. Lenovo has long been suspected to make a netbook of their own and they have admitted today that the company is "consideringlaunching a netbook product designed with consideration for bothconsumer and enterprise markets" (Ken Wong, general manager of LenovoTaiwan). That sounds like a definite maybe to us. (via ubergizmo)
Joining Lenovo today is the giant firm Sylvania who is expected to introduce a netbook of their own starting at $299. Sylvania has a big connection with Walmart so maybe we’ll start seeing actual netbooks in the stores. The Sylvania device is rumored to have an Atom processor, 80 GB hard drive and an 8.9-inch screen. (via Gizmodo)
Sylvania already has a netbook in the game:

“giant firm Sylvania”?
>>>”giant firm Sylvania”?
HAHAHAHA. You caught jk’s age! Yes, when we were both wee, Sylvania was one big major electronics brand. Now, probably just a label, like Polaroid.
Let that be a lesson to Matsushita, Sony, JVC, et al, as China comes on-stream!
Netbooks are already available at Walmart sub $300 price point. They just suck because they run a via chip. Try the Everex Cloudbook.
seem affordable with good features
I’ve just remembered “Sylvanian Families”, the range of sickeningly-cute toys in the 1980s. Good times…
