Netbooks are still kicking!

Hp denies that netbooks are dead, and that Tablets are the future. Oh no, they are still sticking to netbooks like this one:

What is a netbook?
If you don't know, take some time finding out! It might be your next best portable technology gadget... 
A netbook, is like a notebook (laptop) just smaller! 
Remember:  Notebooks is full computer that run windows or linux fully. They are just simply slower than notebooks and desktops, but boy are they small and handy tools...

Hp admits that tablets is taking the market, but keeps saying that notebooks are better. 
I agree, tablet keyboards is not easy to type with, it doesn't have the same applications as your desktop PC or MAC and it isn't as easy to quickly update a blog or type a document. 

although't from my piont of view, netbooks are slower, they get things done without hassel!

HP’s Pavilion dm1z is hardly a netbook that looks like it is swinging for the fences. It is modest and unassuming, a cleaned-up version of so many netbooks from years gone by. It aims to be your miniature workhorse companion and tries to look good while it’s along for the ride.
Performance is solid compared to other netbooks: AMD’s E-350 runs rings around the Atom, boosting performance about 50 percent over Atom-books (although many Atom netbooks fail to complete most benchmark tests altogether), and the improved graphics, while they won’t make the Pavilion your choice for a Portal 2 marathon, can at least get you along the Oregon Trail with aplomb.

That is a kick in tablet's nuts! Just as fast and twice as small. It looks good and funky, it's fast, it's small, it's way better than tablets and it easier to use and type with. Looks like a good deal to me!

What do you think? Netbook or Tablet?

From time to time....

As you might know I like from time to time, to write in a series of  blog posts...
As from today forward I will port myself to write and use Linux, the main distro I will be using is the well known
Ubuntu. I will test and run this Operating system, and report back news, reviews and tips

If you want to take the challenge with me, download the free OS at >  www.ubuntu.com 

we will be looking at:
 1) usability compared to windows and mac
 2) customizing the OS (look and feel)
 3) and the the fun at giving tips and tricks
 4) applications we use.... we all love our programs on windows and our applications on mac, but we must                                             find good alternatives.

So here we go...

Linux Gaming

Linux gaming with Steam
I don't know if steam is officially launched for Linux but i can say that some user would like steam on the linux desktop , for : playing games like Half life , portal,team fortes etc....
Now i don't use Linux any more, Because of the Non gaming ..
But when this is out or are stable I would consider a switch ....
now games like Warcraft or call of duty are not yet on Linux distros but, I think they will follow shortly.

Linux is that other option when you don't want to buy windows or mac and it runs great with most of the app's installed  (funny I should mention apps , because it is more like mac and the interface is like mac )
now you get to interfaces KDE or Gnome
I use KDE but the Gnome are also nice.

Try Linux for yourself @  www.ubuntu.com/

   note all of the top are different linux distro's and It is your choice what you try :)
