Asus South Africa has made its Eee Pad Transformer official. Never heard of the device? To quickly describe it, it’s part tablet, part netbook. Looks like Asus couldn’t decide whether it wanted to make a tablet or a netbook, so it made both. The Eee Pad Transformer is a tablet which docks itself to an optional hinged keyboard and offers a long, long battery life of 16 hours

The Eee Pad Transformer’s biggest thing is that you can use it as a standard, Android 3.0 (Honeycomb) tablet. Surf the Web, fiddle about with apps, that kind of thing. But Asus decided that wasn’t good enough. So in addition to being a fully featured, as-you-like, tablet you can also use it as a netbook.

By setting the tablet in a small dock, you can then use the attached keyboard to use the device more like you’d use a netbook. Perhaps you find it’s easier to type when at as desk using a normal keyboard? The point is, it does both. Read the rest of this entry »

Sometimes you want to touch. Sometimes you need to type. With the new touch-sensitive, Flash-capable Inspiron duo convertible tablet, you can do both in style. You can tell it is Dell.

- The innovative flip design lets you switch from touch to type in seconds.
- Listen to music, use as an alarm clock or view your photos with the Inspiron duo Audio Station.
- Read books, watch movies and play games on the 10-inch high-definition (HD) display.

The Dell Inspiron 1090 10.1″ Duo tablet Netbook looks like a typical netbook, with unique design, this Dell Inspiron Mini Duo features 10.1″ HD multi-touch screen (1366 x 768 resolution) with an innovative flip-hinge design to glide easily from a touchscreen laptop to a touchscreen tablet. The display features auto-orientation when in tablet mode. AND it also has integrated chiclet keyboard and camera on the bezel above the screen. Read the rest of this entry »

Looking for a new netbook to carry around on your travels? You won’t be disappointed with HP’s offerings, despite many netbooks these days being the same within (and for some, without). After all, HP didn’t become to the top computer manufacturer in the world for no apparent reason. We’re looking at what HP has to offer with their NEW Mini 5103 netbook .

It tips the scales at just 1.2 kilograms, but is more than capable of delivering the capability of a full-performance companion PC, targeting mobile professionals as well higher-education students. Underneath the hood, the HP Mini 5103 will support the latest dual core processor from Intel, the Atom N550. Of course, you can also opt for the Atom N455  processors, where all of them will be able to handle faster DDR3 memory for better performance.

Depending on your preference, you can choose from a standard or the touch-screen model that is capable of handling a range of multitouch gestures, finger taps and swipes across the screen for more convenient navigation of applications, information and websites. The HP Mini 5103 will also be accompanied by a sturdy, lightweight, anodized-aluminum display enclosure with a brushed, espresso-coloured finish. You won’t find your fingers cramped either, simply because it is 95% the size of a full QWERTY keyboard alongside the addition of a touchpad that delivers an optimal experience for email, instant messaging and other text-driven applications.

Other hardware specifications include a 10.1-inch diagonal LED-backlit display, a Broadcom Crystal HD Enhanced Video Accelerator card, a six-cell battery for longer battery life, the HP DayStarter software program, and a HSPA 3G Mobile Broadband Module.
