Intel to increase price of Atom N270 in China
From the past couple of months, a lot of (white-box) netbook manufactures have entered the netbook market. As a result of that, the supply of the N270 is able to meet the huge demand of the manufactures. Intel has decided to increase the price of the N270 Atom processor to the extent that the price of the N280 processor will be same as the N270 processor.
If the price of the N270 will price same as N280, why not just switch to N280?

ACER ASPIRE ONE 11.6-inch to land sooner than expected
The 10-inch Acer Aspire One (D150) has just started to show at the shelves and now, we’ve already started getting news of its bigger brother, which will sport a 11.6-inch screen. Unlike other netbook manufactures, not only the screen size has been bumped up, but also the resolution. It is now 1,366 x 768. Other specs include:
- Atom Z530 + Intel SCH USW15S chipset
- Intel GMA 500 integrated graphics
- 1366 x 768 (16:9)
- Power consumption: 4.3W
- Battery life? 4 hours with the standard battery and 8 hours with the extended battery.
What I am not able to get is why the netbook manufactures are making the netbooks bigger and expensive. There should be restrictions on the maximum size of the netbooks. I’m sure that very soon, DVD drives will become norm in the netbooks. The original idea of netbooks was to be cheap and portable. The newer netbooks are NEITHER.
