If you're like us, then today is your lucky day, because this wild and crazy laptop (last spotted at the Microsoft Store) is now on sale at Dell.

Best Seller in Netbook Computer

Best Seller in Netbook Computer and great value for money is 

ASUS Eee PC 1001PX-EU17-BK 10.1-Inch Netbook (Black)  

The Performance and features Its a lot faster than I was expecting, and multitasks quite well (granted, the worst I have been subjecting it to has been installing many programs, streaming videos, and some video processing). There are times when you can notice a definite slower response than a laptop but those instances have been few so far. Also a note on memory - I think the 1GB memory is all I will need for now.

I have not had a sluggish performance problem, and my free memory has always been >200MB while running multiple applications. This is a plus as I won't have to upgrade to 2GB memory right away as most netbook users do.
Overall on performance, I would say it is 80% of a laptop (and not 50% or lower as one might expect). I can see myself not needing my laptop for anything other than MATLAB or intensive programs from now on. and also Beautiful design and light weight. This is part of the ASUS seashell design family, with beautiful curves and design details. The netbook surfaces are textured to minimize fingerprint smudges. For that reason, I think white looks much better than black since the texturing shows more on the black and makes it look more grey or brown than an elegant black. The white looks very elegant. The netbook weighs very little (about the weight of a textbook).

Apple iPads Cannibalizing Netbook Sales

Apple's iPad tablet computer is indeed taking a big bite out of planned netbook sales, according to market watcher ChangeWave, confirming a trend that companies ranging from AMD to Best Buy have cited in recent months.

ChangeWave Research, in surveying 3,108 consumers last month on their buying plans, found that just 14% of those who plan on buying a laptop in the next 90 days say it will be a netbook. That's down from 18% at the start of the year and down 10 points from the peak netbook buying number from June of 2009. (Laptop and desktop buying plans have remained largely unchanged.)

MacBook Pro 15-inch 2.66GHz

Additionally, the MacBook Pro comes standard with automatic graphics switching that provides performance when you need it and energy efficiency when you don't--helping the built-in battery last up to 8-9 hours.

Computer For Cycling

I am returning to the sport of cycling after 20 years so I know the importance of keeping an eye on what your body is doing during a ride - if you want to do more than take in the view. I found the V3 to be easy to install with minimal tools (just a cutter, but scissors probably would've sufficed). It did take me over 30 minutes and some trial and error. The fact that it's wireless is fantastic and it measures anything and everything you need except power output (need several thousand $ for that). It saves to files all the information I might need for several rides, including lap times. However it can't transfer to a computer - you have to do that manually. At this price, I in no way consider that a problem. If you're serious, you're probably keeping a log so you can spend an extra 2 minutes typing in your workout data.
