Acer Review, Asus Review – Netbook 10

Since Intel officially introduced the next-generation Intel Atom N450 processors, netbook manufacturers had been announcing their Pine Trail netbooks left, right and center. I’m sure the list will balloon within the next few weeks, but so far, here are the Pine Trail-powered netbooks I’ve heard about while doing my usual rounds.

• Asus Eee PC 1005P, 1005PE: Not surprising that Asus will be the first to push their new Pine Trail netbooks into eager hands. So far, it runs the same way a usual netbook will run, but battery life is better.

• Dell Inspiron Mini 10: It’s still the Inspiron Mini 10, but the Pine Trail version will apparently include GPS, HD display, and TV tuner. It will be on sale in the US on January 5th for $299.

• Fujitsu LifeBook MH380: Reviewers say that it has a higher resolution display than Fujitsu’s earlier model.

• HP Mini 210: No official word from HP but there are leaked promo shots and whispers and mis-posted product listings.

• Lenovo IdeaPad S10-3, S10-3t: The S10-3 is Lenovo’s 3rd gen netbooks and the S10-3t is a convertible tablet model with a multitouch screen. It’s expected to be announced (or make its debut) on January 2010.

• Samsung N150, NB30: Samsung hasn’t made any formal announcements yet, but since these are their latest contributions to the netbook market (and yet-to-be-released), they’d most likely have Pine Trail processors.

• MSI Wind netbooks, MSI Wind U135: MSI Wind has four netbooks, although MSI isn’t very clear as to what differentiates one from the other though. We can also expect nettops and all-in-one desktops from the company next year.

I’m sure I’ve missed mentioning a few netbooks, but allow me to scour the web for more news and updates. I heard that Intel is expecting as many as 80 Pine Trail models, so we’ll be adding to the list as soon as we find them.

What do you think? Is Pine Trail something to look forward to?
