The iPad, one of the most imaginary mobile hardware devices of the last decennium. Long before the iPad was introduced people speculated about its features. More than 600,000 iPads were being pre-ordered by people who had never seen an iPad in real life (such as myself). The dust never settled and recently Apple announced to have sold 3,000,000 in just 80 days. With the European launch now in full process the production of the device has been ramped up to 1.2 million per month.

Until recently, I seemed to prefer to always do things the hard way. If a website needed to be created, I would learn how to code it, populate it, and then publish it. During renovations of my home I learned how to do my own electrical, dry wall, plumbing, and first aid. I nearly had to learn how to handle my own divorce, but luckily that was avoided. We justified learning these things ourselves in order to offset the cost of paying someone else to do it, but in retrospect, this is probably a backwards way of looking at things.

When businesses buy notebooks, they expect them to last. So when thousands of IT pros say you make the least reliable laptops, that’s going to make some people pause. A survey conducted by TechRepublic found that Acer ranked as the least reliable brand, edging out HP with a score of 24 percent to 21 percent. The next least reliable brand was judged to be HP. When the site asked which PC vendor makes the most reliable laptops, Acer scored lowest with 6 percent, followed by Asus. Some may find it odd that Dell and HP were found to be most reliable, but as Tech Republic points out the sheer volume of customers explains that apparent contradiction.

The Asus 1018P first saw the light of our flashes in March at CeBIT and ever since, it promised to be quite a machine. Not one that would impress with its performances and multimedia capabilities, like the Asus 1215N EEE PC, but one that will get the bar high when speaking about design and construction for these compact machines.

The Toshiba Libretto W100 is a tiny netbook-like device with twin 7 inch displays, allowing you to either view content across both screens or use one display as a virtual keyboard. It’s one of the most unusual laptop designs we’ve seen this year, and it’s expected to have a very un-nettbook like price tag of around $1100.

While our recent Tech Support Showdown showcased how useful tech support technicians are at helping you sort out notebook problems, not every computer issue warrants sitting on hold or sifting through numerous online support forums. There are plenty of fixes and tweaks that are easy to do yourself.

HP has refreshed its netbook range by introducing a new model, the Mini 5103, which will replace the Mini 5102 and which sports DDR3 RAM rather than the DDR2 memory we're used to.
