Whether the choice is basic black or cute and colorful, you can make a fashion statement with the totes and sleeves you choose for laptops and netbooks.

This range of connectors is able to provide high electrical performance in both low-voltage differential signalling (LVDS) and embedded Display Port (eDP) applications.

Brad Graff, director of gaming platforms for Intel (NASDAQ:INTC)’s Ultra Mobility Group said, “The Intel Atom processor, combined with Razer’s expertise in bringing gaming solutions to market, will help make it possible for consumers to have a powerful gaming experience in mobile devices.”

Looks like Dell will be launching a new Latitude 2120 netbook at CES next week. The 2120 is said to have specs identical to the previous 2110, but it packs double the power thanks to a dual core N550 processor. It features 3 and 6 cell battery
options, a 10.1 inch display (with an optional touchscreen), 1 to 2GB of RAM, USB, Ethernet, and VGA ports.

The other interesting news about this latest Latitude is that it gets an optional Broadcom Crystal HD video accelerator. There’s no info about price or availability just yet though.

How quickly the world of tech turns. One year ago, the iPad was still a far-flung rumor, the original Motorola Droid represented the pinnacle of Android technology, and using a Groupon deal first meant explaining what the hell Groupon was to your dining counterpart. Fortunately, things get better with every revolution, and this year has been no exception. From set-top streamers to ultra-light laptops and brilliant LED-lit TVs, here are the remarkable gadgets and consumer technology products that made 2010 a great year for geeks.

Netbooks, which were all the rage a few years back, are facing competition from tablet computers and cheaper laptops, said analysts who note that while the product category will stand for now, there may be changes to its form to make it more competitive.

“There is, indeed, a decrease in the netbook frenzy evident just a couple of years ago,” said Dane Anderson, CEO and executive vice president of research at Springboard Research, in an e-mail interview with ZDNet Asia. He added that though netbooks will continue to hold a place in the market, their market share is eroding, especially with tablets gaining prominence.

On the flip side, Gerard Tan, regional commercial director of IT at Gfk Asia, does not think tablets will pose a challenge to the product category. In an e-mail interview, he said tablets are relatively more expensive than netbooks and do not have a full operating system under the hood. He also pointed out that a good portion of netbook customers continue to be students.

Jim McGregor, chief technology strategist at In-Stat, thinks netbooks will continue to hold sway with consumers due to their low price and functionality. In an e-mail interview, he said the educational sector and other segments still prefer portable computing devices with keyboards and will choose a netbook over a tablet.

With so many netbooks available in the market today, impressing an average computer-obsess geek proves to be a difficult and challenging task. The obiquity of netbooks have turned these light-weighted and smaller versions of the traditional laptop computers into an ordinary thing of the past. They all look freakin the same. No wonder companies are pulling their own gimmick, albeit unsuccessful for some, to set them apart from the rest. The Dell Inspiron Duo is no exemption.

Displayed under the statement “Sometimes you want to touch. Sometimes you need to type. With the new touch-sensitive, Flash-capableInspiron™ duo convertible tablet, you can do both in style. You can tell it’s Dell”, the Dell Inspiron Duo is a hybrid laptop/ tablet. With its 180 degrees swivel screen the netbook can instantly morph into a tablet. It is probably the first netbook to boast such functionality.

Launched last September 14, 2010, the Dell Inspiron Duo immediately caught the media attention. According to a blog review, the Inspiron Duo’s product demo– vertically rotating screen– was so impressive that the writer almost hit the ceiling when she first saw it. “It was like nothing we’d ever seen before,” as she puts it.

The netbook designed to look smaller than a magazine and easy to carry, is less than 1″ thin.

Acer offers four fantastic new colourways – Aquamarine, Diamond Black, Sandstone Brown,and Ruby Red.

S. Rajendran, CMO, Acer India said, “Customers are constantly looking for products that provide the best performance and are value for money while not comprising on the style quotient; AOD 255 is the perfect product in the netbook category and we are sure that all the consumers will like it. ”

A petite Acer MiniGo AC adapter, which is 34% lighter than typical adapters, along with the interchangeable AC converters, is packed in with the netbook to make all day computing easier for the on- the move customer, said the company.

Having a hard time deciding between a netbook and a tablet? Dell hopes to make the choice easier by giving you a two-fer: its new Inspiron Duo is both, a hybrid with a 10-inch touch screen. The Duo may be unveiled next week; no pricing has been announced yet.

Dell isn’t saying much about the Duo just yet, although a short YouTube video shows a sneak peek. (BlackBerry maker Research In Motion also is sharing a look on YouTube at its new PlayBook tablet, due for release next year, comparing it to Apple’s iPad).

The Duo, with a dual-core Atom processor and using Windows 7, was first shown by Dell in September at an Intel Developer Forum.
