Thursday, September 17th, 2009

My continued search for the best of the best netbook cases has seen my looking at reams of fairly average and all perfectly good cases. But nothing has been quite so obviously protective as this particular be.ez Netbook sleeve.

Pico “Really Tiny” Bluetooth Dongle From MobileFun

Thursday, September 17th, 2009

At the beginning of 2009 I acquired a Sandberg USB Bluetooth dongle, and some time later a Sandberg USB Wifi Adaptor. Both of these products are impressively, absurdly small but neither of them come even close to this particular little bluetooth gem which redefines the category of svelte, sleek USB bluetooth adaptors and delivers a product that actually can remain in your laptop USB port indefinitely. In fact, you may be hard pressed to get a grip on its 3.5mm protrusion and remove it.

Netbook Gaming On The Samsung NC10

Wednesday, August 12th, 2009

My Samsung NC10 has been neglected for a few weeks, I bought it to use as a dedicated linux computer for programming and tinkering with open source consoles.

So perplexed, in fact, that I decided to try one such alternative, the MiFi 2352 from Novatel Wireless, to see if there’s really a glaring flaw keeping it from the mass market, or if it’s simply been a bit slow to catch up.

Port Netbag for 10″ Netbooks

Saturday, July 25th, 2009

In an continuing mission (sorry!) to bring you the skinny on the best netbook accessories I’ve begun to broaden my horizons past Proporta, incorporating products from GearZap.com who resell a variety of brands (incidentally including Proporta). My first 10″ Netbook Case through from them was the Cool Bannanas Hard Cover netbook case, which I added to my popular Getting The Most From Your Samsung NC10 article.

Alas, the page is getting a little bloated, so I think it’s time to finally add a proper “Netbooks” topic to Gagetoid. And here’s the first article destined for it.
