It looks like HP has a winner with the new Mini 311. Not only did Laptop magazine like the style, video performance and price they reported getting close to 6 hrs of battery life from the standard 6-cell battery that comes with the machine. If you order one now, HP is offering 50% off a second 6-cell battery.
When Windows 7 launches in just under a couple of weeks, expect to see a whole new generation of netbooks based on the same NVIDIA ION chipset that is powering the HP Mini 311. Several manufacturers delayed the launch of their ION based machines to correspond with the launch of Windows 7.
Logitech have just announced a new lapdesk with an innovative retractable mouse pad. Although Logitech don’t detail the size of the new N315 Lapdesk (come on Logitech, that’s why you have a specifications tab) they mention that is will work notebooks up to 15.6 inches, so it shouldn’t be a problem for the current (or next) generation of Netbooks. The price of protecting your thighs from heat exposure – just $29.99. (via JKontherun)

The original Netbook - Asus Eee PC 700 Series
Welcome to Netbook Style! How far we have come..already!
This Blog is dedicated to those small, ultra-portable PCs that have become so popular since Asus launched the Eee PC in October 2007.
The Eee PC featured a 7-inch screen, and a 4 GB solid-state drive and sold for $399 USD.
Today, a 10-inch screen, 2 GB of memory, a 160 GB hardrive and 4+ hr battery life is not an unusual specification for a Netbook.
The Netbook is a testament to how rapidly the consumer electronics market evolves, with most major PC manufacturers now building these diminutive laptops and constantly improving their spec’s.
