Wikipedia Comparison of netbooks

I just noticed an useful page in Wikipedia.  A comprehensive comparison of the various current and upcoming netbooks/sub-notebooks.  If you’re in the looking to buy one of the many variants of netbooks on the market, this will certainly help you decide which one to get.

8.9″ MSI Wind U90

Here to accompany the 10″ MSI Wind U100 is the U90 with an 8.9″ inch screen.  Specifications on this particular netbook (or sub-notebook, depending on how you see things…) are as follows:

  • Intel® AtomTM N270 Processor
  • 512MB/1GB RAM (DDR II 667MHz)
  • 8.9″ Wide Screen Display
  • 80 GB SATA HDD
  • 1.3M / 0.3M Webcam
  • 2 Stereo Speakers and Microphone
    802.11b / g WLAN with Bluetooth
  • 4-in-1 Card Reader, SD/MMC/MS/MSpro
  • 10/100 LAN
  • 3xUSB 2.0

Unfortunately no word on whether this will be available with Linux as well, the MSI site on mentions Windows XP (which is a damn stupid OS to run on such low-spec machines).

ASUS N10 netnook, Eee PC without the Eee

Looks like ASUS is launching a “premium” 10.2-inch netbook, the ASUS N10. This one comes without the Eee branding and is obviously meant for the image conscious. Digitimes is reporting the price at €330 to €430, but really there are few hard facts available yet. Blogeee.net has more pictures.

Is anyone else as tired as me of all the various ASUS netbook/sub-notebook variations?
