Gateway’s ID series notebooks attempt to walk the delicate tightrope straddling decent screen sizes and thin-and-light design aesthetics.

Acer pretty much announced a bajillion notebooks today. You’ll recall that the company announced a skillion netbooks on Friday, bringing the total number of newly-announced portable computers from Acer to a bajillion-skillion.

It’s been nearly two and a half years since Willy Yonkers introduced his iPholio concept. It’s a simple idea wherein a touchscreen smartphone—in this case, an iPhone—snaps into a netbook-size chassis right where you’d ordinarily find a trackpad. The phone would act as the computer’s trackpad and would run the phone’s …
The future-splosion known as Computex is underway in Taipai, Taiwan this week and in the interest of not inundating Techland with post after post about every single tablet, netbook, and other bits of technological wonderment, I thought I’d include everything in a daily roundup for those of you interested in this kind of stuff. …
Though not technically a netbook — Sony prefers that it be referred to as a “Lifestyle PC” — the almost impossibly small Sony VAIO P features an Intel Atom processor, unbelievably high resolution screen, and a few unique features you won’t find in other netbooks.
