Yet another netbook from Acer. Specswise nothing extraordinary as it features a 1.66GHz Intel Atom N455, 1GB DDR3 RAM, 250GV hard drive and Intel GMA 3150 integrated graphics. There are couple of surprises though with one being the latest Bluetooth 3.0 and other the new sleeker and slimmer chassis design that comes in Red, Black or White. RRP €329.
Asus UL20FT-A1 brings 1.2GHz Intel Core i3 330UM to the ultra portable Asus UL20 series. According to the guys over at NotebookReview the ASUS UL20FT offers a more powerful processor then its predecessor Asus UL20A for just a few more bucks. It also adds a better display and bigger hard drive. Unfortunately omits the USB 3.0 and eSATA ports so let’s hope Asus will add those in the next refresh. With all the nVidia Optimus packed laptops appearing lately it definitely isn’t exactly the most exciting but for under $650 is not much more expensive then your average netbook but offer a lot better performance so it is definitely great value for money.

Sounds great to us and according to guys over at Cnet the Samsung EX-1 is a solid high-end compact digital camera that does have some minor handling issues but otherwise it features good quality lens and a very pocket-friendly priced.

They concluded that this 2.26 GHz Intel Core i3 350M packing notebook is a great update of the Toshiba Portege R series providing a visual refresh, good balance between price, performance and features.

According to the guys over at T3 it packs all the right hardware but lacks interface polish to compete with likes of HTC Desire.
