I have recently get to experiment a Dell Mini 9 netbook which has a 3G HSPA internet slot.

For those of you who are new to this,  mini-notebooks or netbooks are using the latest technology in 3G to connect to the internet. It is a sim card based (similar to the mobile phones sim card) as a channel for you connecting to the net.

Some came with USB adapter for you to place the Sim card inside it while others are pretty much placed in a sim card (similar) slot called the HSPA slot.

Some might call have the HSPA (High Speed Packet Access) version while others the HSDPA (High Speed Downlink Packet Access).

2 different names - what’s the difference?

The easiest explanation I can give you is that HSDPA is the enhanced version of HSPA, though both these protocols can have a transfer download speed up 14.4Mbps (that’s fast for a moile broadband).

So far about 200 telecommunication operators from around the world have deployed HSPA protocols for mobile laptop and netbook users; a sign that mobile broadband is the way to go.

With this new subscription technology, users need need be bonded to hotspots for Wi-fi though subscribing cost might be one of the factors before users started to adapt mobile broadband.

Some of the notable netbooks which are HSPA ready includes the Dell Mini-9, LG X110, HP Mini 1001TU and Lenovo Ideapad S10-2 3G netbook to name a few.

Recently in the news as well, mobile giants NOKIA has released their first netbook called the Booklet 3G and it is also HSPA ready.

From the way I see it, I’m not surprised if more mobile companies starting to release netbooks as they will leveraging on the future of boadband technology in 3G.

The mini notebook or mini laptop is the biggest buzz recently and it is quite interesting to see almost majority of the laptop manufacturers out there leveraging on this market.

Asus has started out with the Eee PC series and soon you see a bunch out there …. that include laptops heavyweights HP, Acer and Dell who released the Netbook, Aspire One and Mini9 respectively.

However China’s own HiVision ain’t far behind either.

Recently they released a series of mini notebook series at an extremely shocking price ($98) !

How do I know about this?

Just check out the video below.

Talk about being affordable ….. THIS IS DEFINITELY THE ONE !

Comments welcome .

To finally end my illustrious journey to this series, the top budget laptop under $1K, is the champion of the lot.

Drumroll please

And the winner of the most budget laptop is the HP Pavilion dv2660se .

HP has since came out with big campaigns on promoting their laptops and computing equipment and not surprising the HP is “Top Laptop Vendor Of The Year ” this year.

The HP Pavilion dv2660se multimedia laptop with excellent battery life. It’s great design and cost ($899) is one of the most appeal aspects of this laptop.

The hardware specs is not bad at all, actually for an average user is good enough already.

It comes built in with a 1.5Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo (T5250) processor coupled with 2GB of RAM and an Intel Express Intergarted Graphics chipset. The weight which an equivalent to a 6-pounder has a customized made 12-cell battery which can last you for 6.3 hours. That’s a lifetime of 2.5 hours compared to an average laptop !

The cons of it is that the outlook of the laptop tend to be unsightable with the battery protuding out as in the figure on the right.

This laptop is designed for Windows Vista Home Premium users as the multimedia functions tell it all.

Extra functions include the hotkeys or Quick Play for you to access your CD/DVD without turning on your set. It is also built based on the 802.11 n - networks for faster speed connections and for the user what more do you expect for the price that’s is being displayed.

This 14.1 inch laptop is a steal and a recommended product for those going in a tight budget.

Hi guys, I’m back after a few days of undesired happenings on this site; having some problems with my hosting and stuffs.

But I’m back and ready to kicked some news for you.

First things first ….. there will be some changes going on for these sites and some of them are in progress right now. I will announce it once it’s completed the changes that is happening on this site.

First some news ….

HP has been announced “TOP Laptop Vendor Of The Year” for 2 years in a row.

The announcement is being made by market research firm “Display Search“.

HP is tops in market share globally, while Dell is only the main deal back in the US. Acer is joint with HP on the biggest share in the European market and because of that Dell was pushed further behind to third position in the overall global standings.

And because of the powerful powerhouse that is HP, no wonder they are also the Number 1 in the Laptop Budget Series (a post which I’ve longed delayed to cover )

That review will be cover sometime very soon and as HP always say … “Let’s Make It Personal Again”.

Yes, that’s right.

Laptop manufacturers are gunning it again this time as the IT Show fair starts next week 6 till 9 March 2008.

As expected the notebook computer sector will drive consumers in numbers as popular brands like Fujitsu, Acer, Apple, MSI, Lenovo, LG, HP and Asus will be there to showcase their top-end and bargain notebooks at astounding prices.

What I’ll be checking out has definately be the MSI GX600 (which I previously reviewed), the first time ever appear on this Lion City.

Not to miss are brands like Apple ….. showcasing the MacBook Air (the world’s thinnest notebook) at a very special price!
