Netbooks are all the rage right now as any ‘Brick reader knows. But it hasn’t been easy making yours stand out up until now. Well, Dell is aiming to cure that with its limited edition netbook design by Deanne Cheuk.

Deanne Cheuk has previously been commissioned for work with such companies as Nike, Swatch, Target, MTV, American Express and the New York Times. The netbook will be available in a total of 5250 units. Each will be individually numbered.

Subsidized netbooks really aren’t that great a deal when you stand back and look at the price. You don’t save that much money typically, but if you need mobile broadband, anyway they may be a decent deal. AT&T is building up its subsidized line with the Samsung Go netbook.

Starting on November 22, customers can get the Go for $199 after a new 2-year agreement for a data plan and mail-in rebates for $199. The data plans will cost either $35 monthly for 200MB or $60 monthly for 5GB of data. That’s not much for the money honestly.

Litl describes their Webbook as “an internet computer that works great with your favorite websites”. The Litle Webbook aims to be versatile and can be used as a standard netbook or, flipped around, as a TV device with an optional remote and “TV style” control knob.

Some features include a 12-inch LCD display with an Intel Atom 1.6GHz processor, a GPU that can playback H.264 in 720p, 1GB of RAM, and 2GB of built in flash storage. What sets it apart is that it has no hard drive. All data is stored on the Internet. You’ll also get built-in WiFi, a headphone jack, HDMI, a USB 2.0 port, and a built-in webcam.

Haleron has just released a new sporty looking netbook in the form of the Swordfish Net 20, which comes with an Intel Atom 330 Dual Core processor, which won’t drain your battery as much as the previous dual processor model that the company offered awhile back.

Some other specifications include a 10.2 inch LCD display with a resolution of 204 x 600, a 160GB hard drive which is upgradable to 250GB, 2GB of DDR2 Ram, and an unlocked 3G modem.

Nokia went official with the specs and pricing for its first netbook today called the Booklet 3G. We already heard lots of rumors that Best Buy would be the exclusive seller of the device, and that has been confirmed.

The Booklet 3G will also use AT&T’s 3G network as the exclusive data carrier. The netbook will be available for $299.99 with a new 2-year data plan agreement. If you just want the netbook, it will sell for $599.

Turns out that the Dell Mini 9 can be modded into a sexy looking internet tablet. Who is responsible for this? A dude named Rob, who is a MyDellMini forum member. He turned his Del Vostro A9, which is a business version of the Mini 9, into a Windows 7 touchscreen.

This bad boy holds a 16GB SSD, WiFi, Bluetooth, 1GB of RAM and an Intel Atom N270 processor. Rob has further plans for it, like adding an accelerometer to automatically adjust the screen orientation and a small USB fan for temperature control.

Asus seems to always be adding new netbook models to its lineup. The machines are available with all manner of configurations and screen sizes. Two more Eee netbooks were leaked today called the Eee 1201N and the Eee 1201HA.

The two machines are very similar and both have 12.1-inch 1366 x 768 resolution screens, Windows 7 Home Premium, 802.11b/g/n, Bluetooth, and Ethernet connectivity built-in. The 1201N also sports a Intel Atom N330 dual-core CPU, 3GB of RAM and graphics via NVIDIA Ion. Storage is to a 320GB HDD.

Dual-screen notebooks are still popping up and the latest is Kohjinsha’s dual 10.1-inch screen netbook prototype, which was spotted at the CEATEC show in Japan. Just like the Lenovo W700, which started it all, one screen slides behind the other so you can use one or both.

Of course this makes it just a bit thicker than your average netbook. Under the hood you’ll find Windows 7, a 1.6GHz AMD Athlon Neo MV-40 processor, maximum 4GB RAM, and a 160GB hard disk.

It’s been a while since we heard anything about the Android-powered Skytone Alpha 680 netbook. You’ve probably forgotten all about it. We almost did.

Anyhow, some live pictures of the device have surfaced once again. And yes, the 7-inch touchscreen netbook looks nice as ever. Turns out there’s a reason the netbook hasn’t been very social as of late. Word has it that the device is still “not really stable”, which is pretty sad this late in the game.

In many parts of the world, subsidized notebooks and netbooks have been common for a long time. Here in the U.S. subsidized notebooks have really only started to be offered over the last year. Verizon Wireless has announced the latest addition to its notebook line, the Gateway LT2016u.

The device is set to go on sale with Verizon on October 4 for $149.99 after a $100 mail in rebate. The netbook has a 10.1-inch LED backlit screen and a 6-cell battery for power. The CPU is an Intel Atom N270 and it has 1GB of RAM and 160GB of storage.

The netbook market is getting very crowded today with companies that don’t even make computers getting in on the segment. That means that many of netbooks out there are the same machine with different brand names. The latest non-computer maker to get into the netbook market is Hercules.

Hercules is a company more known for its line of gaming peripherals than anything else. The firm has announced its new eCafe EC-1000W netbook will ship in October for $399. The netbook has a cool design with a lid different from anything else on the market.

I think that computers in schools are a great idea and every kid should have one. This would allow them to use computers instead of their books and perhaps lighten the 30-pound load it seems like they send home with my third grader. One of the most interesting netbooks specifically for school age kids is the CTL 2go Classmate PC E10 that debuted today.

The machine is a 10.1-inch laptop and it has an Intel Atom processor. The exterior of the machine is ruggedized to protect it from drops and water. Storage is to a 160GB HDD and the machine has 1GB of RAM inside.

There’s some good news and some bad news. We’ll give you the good news first. You’ll like it. Nokia is making its Booklet 3G netbook available for pre-order. Awesome, I know. However the bad news is that it’s only available in Italy right now.

To refresh your memory the netbook weighs 1.25 kg and is just over 2cm thick, with integrated 3G/HSPA connectivity and Wi-Fi. Other features include 1GB of RAM, 160GB HDD, and HDMI out.

Some people see mobile technology as a tool to get things done while on the go. Other people see mobile technology devices as accessories and use them as much for their style as their real purpose. Either way most technology fans want a device that works and looks cool as well.

HP and Vivienne Tam have teamed up before on a digital clutch (pictured) that was a netbook with a Tam designed covered for ladies. HP and Tam have announced that they will against be teaming up on a new digital clutch to be debuted at New York Fashion Week.

If you are in the market for a Lenovo Ideapad S10 netbook, you may want to wait just a bit. You’ll be happy to know that the device can now handle high definition video, although the other specs remain the same. Like it’s Intel Atom N280 processor, 1GB RAM, 160GB hard drive, 6-cell battery and Windows XP Home for the OS.

The high definition Lenovo Ideapad S10 will retail for just 349 Euros. It will be available soon at your favorite electronics stores.
