A forum member at UMPCfever has posted a hand drawn picture of a new mysterious netbook from Fujitsu. It has been named M2010 and will be unveiled in the month of July (2009). By the looks of it, it seems to have a 10-inch screen. But, the netbook in that picture looks like any other netbook in the market. If you ask me, it looks more like EEE 1000H or EEE 901 with smaller touchpad. The month of July is not far away and if you ask me, it will be too for difficult for Fujitsu to leak just hand drawings to the world before its launch.

Information about two Z-series Atom processors was leaked today. One is 1.2GHz processor (Z515), which is extremely power-frugal and consumes just 1.4W when running at full power and as-little-as 0.65W when scaled back to 800MHz clock speed. However, with all these fancy low number, you will have to bear with slower 400MHz system bus and a 100MHz slower graphics core.
The second Atom is the first one to achive 2GHz clock speed (Z550). Interestingly, it still consumes 2.4W of power which is same as consumed by the 1.86GHz version.
The Z515 will be targeted at the low-powered MIDs and low-cost netbooks. Onviously, the Z550 will be targeted towards hi-end netbooks.

Looks like the rumors of Apple netbook are not going to die until the Apple finally release their over-talked about netbook. According to the latest rumor, LG is going to make OLED displays for the Apple’s netbook. The new rumor may not be so true as the last time, when we heard about the Apple netbook, the Quanta was given the contract to make them. So, from where did the LG came into play?
These rumors are surely going to make the Apple think about making a netbook now, incase they have not given a thought about it until now.
