Gdium NetbookThe netbook market is rapidly getting crowded as everyone who can field a netbook jumps into the market. This means that every time you look around someone is bringing a new netbook to store shelves and most of them share virtually identical specs.

A new netbook is said to be coming to the U.S. sometime in January called the Gdium. The machine has the typical 10-inch screen and while the CPU isn’t mentioned, it’s likely the common Atom we are used to seeing inside everyone’s netbooks.

MSI Wind U115Netbooks are hot this year and will continue to be one of the most popular categories in the computer market going into 2009. MSI has one of the best netbooks around with its Wind U110 and it has now released some specs on the follow up U115 netbook.

The U115 features the same 10-inch screen and what appears to be the same keyboard as the U110. The difference comes in with the hybrid design of the U115 and some of the other specs. The U115 has a SSD for the OS that features 16GB of storage.

BenQ JoyBook U101Say the word netbook and visions of BenQ don’t jump to my mind; I think more of external DVD burners. That didn’t stop BenQ from being the next firm to jump into the netbook market and its first offering is called the JoyBook U101.

Laptop Mag got their geeky hands onto the 10-inch netbook and found that it had the same poorly placed right shift key that the Asus Eee. At least BenQ went for colors and patterns rather than the same old black, white, or silver colors everyone else makes.
