Gyy is the first solar powered netbook.  It isn’t going to be for everyone but it helps to prove that it’s possible.  According to PCWorld:
Make no mistake, the Gyy won’t be a gaming netbook, as it runs on a 400Mhz MIPS processor and has only 128MB of RAM. On the good side though, you get a 64GB solid-state storage space, three USB ports, Ethernet, and Wi-Fi.

What if you could make your netbook faster and stop worrying about programs hanging or taking too long to open?
What if you could do something which would make watching video smoother?

First you need to buy it.  Amazon is selling 2GB of memory for under $30 with free shipping.  Once you get it, installing it isn’t …

Aww…poor Dell. I’m sure they only meant good and only wanted to follow up in the tradition of products and brands geared towards women. You only have to walk around an electronics store to find a new selection of pink “female-centric” gear.
Now if you search for Della, you’re brought to a page which looks just like the original page but instead it’s geared towards different lifestyles without calling women out specifically.
Overall, it’s a good move. No one understood what the difference was. If they provided different software or options to …

Asus has just released their new 1008HA netbook.  They are continuing to go upmarket and providing netbooks with more features to make them an even more compelling decision.  The 1008HA (aka Seashell) take a slim body design and add a few extras into the imx.

Verizon may have “the Network,” but their netbook deal is horrible.  If anyone decides to buy a netbook from Verizon you’ll only discover that you wasted your money, your time and you’ll only end up wishing that you never did it in the first place.

A hackintosh is a computer, typically a netbook with an Apple OS installed on it.  Wired did some tinkering and found that installing the latest version of Mac OS caused some improvements.  Specifically they said:
Here’s a rather odd little tidbit regarding Apple’s latest update to OS X. While it doesn’t bring many  new features to the Mac, consisting as it does of mostly bug-fixes, OS X 10.5.7 apparently gives a significant boost to battery-life on hackintoshes. Reports from the MSI Wind forums are claiming a boost up to 33%, from 3 hr 45 …

If you own a netbook chances are it only came with 1GB of RAM, with the maximum it can take being 2GB.  Adding more RAM will allow you to open programs quicker,  make your computer turn on quick and should make watching video online smoother.
