Selecting My New Netbook, Part 4
Posted by Tom Greer on April 17, 2009 in HP Netbooks
Let me quickly bring everyone up to speed:
I dropped my briefcase containing my notebook and netbook while traveling. Shortly thereafter, my netbook became dysfunctional. So I need a new netbook.
I defined my needs and wants. Then decided which netbooks were possibilities.
I investigated the Dell Inspiron Mini 9 and decided that was out.
Then I looked at the Dell Inspiron Mini 12 and decided it was definitely in.
In this article I am exploring the HP Mini 1000, which comes with either a 9″ or 10″ display. Since the 9″ model is identical except for the display size, I have already decided that I’m more interested in the 10″ model. So that is what I’ll be exploring below.
Although, I can custom order a Mini 1000 from HP, they also provide “Smart Buy” models, which are simply standard configurations at a discounted prices. The Smart Buy model that most closely meets my requirements is the Mini 1120NR.

How Acer Became The Top Netbook Maker
Posted by Tom Greer on December 27, 2008 in Acer Netbooks, Asus Netbooks, Dell Netbooks, HP Netbooks, Lenovo Netbooks, MSI Netbooks, Netbook Market
Acer Aspire One
Back around the middle of this past year, the netbook marketplace really began to buzz as the launch dates of the second-generation netbooks were nearing. MSI was garnering a major chunk of the mind share, with the Wind Netbook receiving rave reviews. Meanwhile, Asus was busy announcing new Eee PC models at a dizzying pace. Acer was preparing to introduce the Aspire One; however, while the reviews were favorable, it was getting a lot less buzz.
Fast forward to now (year-end) where the Acer Aspire One is king of the netbooks. How did they do it? Read the rest »
Wishing All A Merry Christmas
Posted by Tom Greer on December 24, 2008 in Acer Netbooks, Asus Netbooks, Dell Netbooks, HP Netbooks, MSI Netbooks, Site-related
Over the past month or so, we have shifted gears from primarily providing netbook news and information to searching and reporting on the best deals on netbooks. At times we became almost obsessive in keeping our price comparison charts current and relaying the best deals to you.
We had a lot of fun in doing this. Sometimes it is hard to tell whether our work is beneficial, but the big jump in page views tells us that you appreciated our work.
Acer Aspire One Netbooks
Based on page views at our site, here are the top five netbooks:
- Acer Aspire One 160G 6 Cell XP
- Asus Eee PC 1000HA 160G XP
- Acer Aspire One 120G 3 Cell XP
- Aspire One 16G 3 Cell Linux
- Asus Eee PC 1000H 160G XP
While I’m not pretending that this is representative of the entire marketplace, it does reinforce recent reports that Acer has transplanted Asus as the top manufacturer of netbooks. Based on our activity, Acer and Asus dominate mindshare. We have to go down our rankings a good bit before we get to rhe HP Mini-Note, then MSI Wind and later Dell.
Now that it is Christmas Eve, we are shutting things down for a few days. But before we do, we want to wish a Blessed and Merry Christmas to all of you.

If you are considering giving a netbook as a holiday gift this year, there are some great deals available now. I’ve researched the current prices on the most popular models from a wide range of online merchants.
I am devoting a separate post to each bargain and I’ll post from number five to number one.
