Mini-notebook? Does Ideapad S110 deserve the title?
details
2.5 years ago Nokia boldly named its first and only Netbook as Mini-notebook. I happened to buy it, poses it , and am very satisfied with it. It was Nokia Booklet 3G. It was still netbook, but damn good one.
MacbookAir 11" managed to set bar on productivity, dimensions and weight. Booklet 3G after 2.5 years of stagnation is still better with 3G and SD reader.
Ideapad S110 appears to match connectivity options of Bookelt 3G and weight/dimensions of Macbook Air 11". Will it match productivity of... Read more →

Should I upgrade to Windows 7 Home/Pro Edition?
details
Just bought the Booklet and I'm really happy with it so far (which means the last 3 hours). I do wish I had some more of the cool new Win 7 features though. I can't even change my desktop picture with Starter edition.

Booklet 3G (off contract) best of breed?

My MacBook Air is a wonderful laptop with a full-size keyboard and a 13" screen, but am disappointed with its brief battery life, which most days for me is around 4 hours. I'm very interested in the Booklet 3G because of its stated 12 hour battery life. If I choose to... Read more →

US Pricing: $299 w/contract. Anyone gonna bite?
details
Just got back from Nokia's US press event for the Booklet 3G. It's going to be $299 at Best Buy with a 2-year, $60-a-month data plan from AT&T. It'll be $599 without. A rep from AT&T did hint that cheaper options would be available, but presumably that would be with a smaller limit on how much data you could consume. I played with it a bit, and it's definitely nice for a netbook, but I'm not sure I'd want to be stuck paying $60 a month for a netbook two years from...
