Netbook or Notebook? New Dimensions in the Price War

So far, the future of netbook seems to be unrivaled. Even a 139 million shipments by the tear 2013 was predicted by reasearch firm ABI. But a new line of low cost notebooks, costing as low as $298, have thrown in a serious challenge towards the netbook market.

These laptops with big screens, large memory and reasonable processing power are nothing like netbooks. And, they challenge the prime luster towards netbooks – price.

The $298 Wal-mart laptop finished before most people had the opportunity to draw the money out of their pockets. The $299 Acer laptop has experienced more or less the same fate. Best Buy later offered a new series of Toshiba laptops at $329.

Whatever the price is – $298, $299 or $329, these new range of laptops posses serious challenge for the low cost netbooks. However, netbooks still have one simple advantage – ultra portability, prime consideration for few people.

Apple’s Siri has been lauded as one of the best voice-enabled personal assistants available. Although Siri is quite good, it is not perfect and does make mistakes. And now, Siri has a worthy contender in the form of S Voice, the voice assistant that Samsung unveiled to be a part of Samsung Galaxy S III. Galaxy S III will soon be in the hands of the consumers and S Voice will be pitted against Siri. Here’s a fairly accurate comparison of the two.

Two images have now surfaced on the web, allegedly of Windows 8 tablets from Dell.

When Facebook acquired Instagram for a whopping billion dollars, many of us kept wondering that why on Earth would the social network pay such a hefty sum for a photo sharing service. However, when Facebook later stated its ambition to be successful across the mobile platform, it was understandable since Instagram has been a huge success on the mobile devices. A recent development suggests, Facebook might have started to utilize the Instagram know-how in their (Facebook’s) products already. You will know what I mean when you see the recently launched ‘Facebook Camera’ app.

While RIM may be deemed the company that launched the true smartphone revolution with its BlackBerry devices and coined the very concept, Apple will always be termed as the company which popularized the notion of smartphones. And its not surprising to note now that iOS and Android smartphones dominate the total shipments of the smartphones made during the last quarter of 2012.

    Bought the netbook a month ago and just love working with it. Its full size keyboard is a great boon to typing and it is fast ! Suggest you buy an external CD /DVD writer to allow you to use the machine more fully and to load / save items etc. LOve the color and ease of use !

    Great value for money !
