Samsung NC20 review
Reviews In our tests, the Nano comes out ahead of the Intel Atom, particularly in internet performance. Most netbook makers base their systems on Intel's Atom processor, but Samsung has used VIA's Nano U2250, which runs at '1.3+GHz — the '+' signifies that...

Google and the Atomic iPhone
Blog First came a quote from Intel bod Hannes Schwaderer that seemed to suggest Apple's next-gen smartphone would have a bigger screen and be based on the Atom chip. Funnily enough, only last week I asked Ashish Patel of Intel Capital whether we'd see...

News Once the new models have been launched, Asus is expected to cut the prices of its Eee 701 (featuring a seven-inch screen) and Eee 900 (featuring an 8.9-inch screen and similar to the 901, but pre-Atom) devices.

A look at the most exciting gadgets of CES 2009
News Introduced at CES, the Vaio P has many of the qualities of a netbook — the low-powered Atom processor, small screen, light weight and solid-state storage option are examples — but a couple of features set it apart from the standard 'netbook' crowd.

Ubuntu 9.10 (karmic Koala) on Netbooks - Part 1 (Overview)
Blog I will be trying each of these on my ASUS N10J netbook, which I believe is very typical of netbook hardware configuration - Intel Atom 270 CPU, Intel 945 GME graphic controller, 10.2" 1024x600 screen, wired and wireless network connection, and...

How netbook broadband bundles stack up
News The 1.3kg NC10 has a 10.2-inch screen and uses Intel's 1.6GHz N270 Atom chipset. The device also uses a Celeron M processor, which is older and more power-hungry than the Intel N270 Atom chipsets used in all the other netbooks currently offered by...

That's how they did it: VAIO X Series uses Sandisk
Blog That was a prototype sample, so I have yet to find out if the shipping model is quite that unfeasibly light in my hands, and I'll need to take it on the road with me to see if it's robust enough for a life of travel- but this is what I expect an...

Fedora 11
Blog I was also able to install it on the Dual Atom nettop system with no trouble, The performance seems much worse than on the laptops, though. Now, to be fair, this is only an Atom-based system, but as it is a pretty well equipped dual CPU Atom...

ASUS Eee PC 1000 review
Reviews It uses a 1.6GHz Intel Atom N270 processor, plus 1GB of DDR memory — much like the Eee PC 901, Acer Aspire One and MSI Wind. There's very little difference between the Eee PC 1000 and the rest of its Atom-equipped rivals in terms of performance.

Acer Aspire One D150 review
Reviews With the basic Intel Atom/1GB RAM/XP setup, you'll get a similar experience to using a netbook such as the HP Mini 1000 or Lenovo S10, but there are a handful of trade-offs for the Aspire One D150's price.

Future of netbooks revealed at Computex
News As Intel continues supporting its Core 2 Duo-equivalent CULV energy-efficient mobile processors, the focus on Atom seems to be waning. But according to Intel, that is not the case, especially with new Atom processors on the horizon.

ASUS Eee PC 901 review

Sony VAIO X review
Reviews The VAIO X is the latest, and like Sony's previous Atom-powered high-concept P series, it has only one foot in the netbook camp. Instead, the VAIO X uses Intel's 2.0GHz Atom Z550, a small step up from the same Atom CPUs found in £300 netbooks.

Acer Aspire One review
Reviews The entry-level Linux version sells for £220 and packs the popular 1.6GHz Intel Atom N270 processor and 512MB of RAM. The basic Windows XP model uses the same 1.6GHz Atom CPU, but gets 1GB of RAM plus an 80GB mechanical hard drive, all for around...

ASUS Eee PC 1008HA review
Reviews Using Intel's N280 Atom CPU, the system was minimally faster in our iTunes encoding test than netbooks with the slightly slower N270 version. Performance in other tests was in line with other netbooks, and overall we have yet to meet an Atom...

Fedora 12 Alpha and The Moblin User Experience
Blog MMS (Multi-Boot Mini-Server, Dual Atom nettop): Installed smoothly, works extremely well, and is overall very nice. ASUS N10J (Atom netbook): Seemed to take a very long time to boot the LiveCD, I had just about decided that it was hung when it...
