The Archos 10 is now finally available for order for $399. There is nothing special about the netbook in terms of specifications. Infact, it carries the specs which were there in the netbook models around an year ago just when the Atom-powered netbooks had just landed.

At CES 2009, they did a quite unveiling of Archos 10. Perhaps, they themselves know that there is nothing ground-breaking about this netbook.

Specifications:

10.2-inch screen
Intel Atom 1.6 Ghz
1GB RAM
160GB HDD
Windows XP
Wi-Fi

Asus is going to completely phase out 8.9-inch Eee PC netbooks this year. Asus believes that the 10-inch netbooks have much higher demand than the 8.9-inch netbooks.

No doubt, the sales of the 10-inch netbooks have been much higher than expected, but it is odd to completely rule out the 8.9-inch netbooks out of the equation. I am sure that there are a lot of people around who yearn for a smaller device and they do not have a need for a full laptop-size keyboard. They just want a device that is easy to carry around.

We all know that there are no stock of Acer Aspire One available in the market. The reason behind this that  ACER wants to make sure that all the top components are ready in this new model. In an interview with ACER’s chairman, he claims that that Acer Aspire D150’s screen is better than Asus S101’s. He says D150’s screen is more saturated and is brighter than S101’s screen.

Although, it has been made available in some South-East countries in Asia, but it is still not available worldwide. Now, we are really excited to see if the D150’s screen is really any better than S101. Currently, we are reviewing S101 and the screen is fantastic. If the Acer claims that it better, then it will be surely interesting to see how better it is than its competition.

We know it would be unfair to battle Asus Eee PC S101 against Sony Vaio TZ, which is actually a highend ultra-portable. Although the S101 is considered expensive in the netbook world, but it is around $1000 cheaper than the VAIO TZ. The Vaio TZ has strong points like higher resolution screen(1366*768) and steller 7 hour battery life, but S101 has its strong points too. The EEE S101 is slimmer and it has a larger and better trackpad. Although the resolution is netbook-ish (1024 x 600), but then, it will save you a $1000 too!
