A lot of people are stating that tablets have all but killed the netbook market, and many of them are probably right. Netbooks used to comprise nearly 20% of the laptop market, though that number has sharply fallen to less than 10% today. The devices, which were touted as cheaper, lighter and more mobile laptops, just can’t seem to gain any ground on the rapidly growing tablet market, which is dominated by products like Apple’s iPad. Due to this fact, many companies have pretty much abandoned the niche altogether, including companies like Dell and Lenovo. Even Asus, which dominated the category for a while, hasRead More →

However, the solid-state-drive will probably drive the price up compared to what its counterpart with a hard drive would cost. It will use standard-voltage Intel CoreRead More →
