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.

The Toshiba NB550D comes with a 10.1-inch glossy display, but instead of running an Intel Atom CPU, like a typical netbook, the NB550D is based on the AMD C-50 CPU (1GHz) with ATI Radeon HD 6250 graphics. It also comes with a 250GB HDD & 1GB of RAM (it supports up to 4GB, but you’ll have up upgrade to a 64-bit OS).

ASUS has been a big name in the world of netbooks for some time. One area where the excelled over the competition was in running times with some of their netbooks able to achieve over 10 hours of running time with standard web use. Now ASUS has updated their Eee PC lineup to include the new dual-core Intel Atom processor for additional performance. Is this extra performance worth the additional cost? Does it impact the battery life?

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

Asus has introduced a number of new accessories for the company’s netbooks and notebooks. On paper, the accessories don’t look all that different from items the company has been offering for the past few years. Ther eare new USB disc drives, hard drives, and mice, and some new carrying cases and power adapters. But some of the new models feature designs tailored to go with Asus computers such as the Lamborghini series notebooks or Karim Rashid edition netbooks.

Originally cut-down notebook PCs designed for maximum portability and battery life, netbooks have evolved into serious computing devices in their own right. Some of the specs make it difficult to decide where the netbook category ends and notebooks begin. Still, some things remain relatively constant. Most have a 10.1in screen, a small keyboard and a lightweight low-power processor. They struggle with heavy computing tasks, but are good for web and email access, word processing and simple spreadsheets.

Motorola had a pretty busy CES this year as it rolled out a couple of pretty substantial products. The first of these was the new Atrix handset, which the developers believe could take convergence to a whole new level.

On the outside, the phone looks like a fairly standard Android device – albeit quite a handsome one. However, it’ll be powered by a currently unnamed dual-core 1GHz ARM processor, which gave it more than enough horsepower to slice through version 2.2 of the OS – although a move to Gingerbread could be on the cards by the time it launches.

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.”

The NB505 comes with the typical netbook specs including an Atom chip, Windows 7 Starter, a 10.1 inch, 1024 x 600 pixel display, 1GB of RAM and a 250GB hard drive. It’s available in blue, green, brown, orange, or turquoise. It doesn’t have the ability to charge USB gadgets while the computer is turned off, something that the pricier NB305 offers.

Opera Software, the maker of desktop Opera browser for Windows, Mac OS X and other devices, announced on Monday plans to create an entirely new browser from scratch optimized for web surfing on tablets.

The new browser will be based on and promises “the smoothest tablet and netbook experience on the market.”

Their chief of development Christen Krogh, explained in a written statement why Opera for tablets will be a fully featured release:

In 2011, tablets are a new must-have. Opera is creating waves with the first public preview of Opera for tablets. Opera for tablets brings the same trusted Internet experience to tablets and netbook PCs as users have come to love on their mobile phones and desktops.
