See here, when you are making a copy of a famous product, you might as well make something that is capable of running the original software as well, right? Yeah, that’s what I thought. It is the first rule in the “Fakers’ 101″ handbook. So anyway, you have all been looking at the MacBook Air fakes from Chinese makers ever since Steve Jobs pulled that thing out of an envelope. Now see one of them running the OS X.
Yes, if you have ever wondered about it, now you have you answer. Yes, some of them apparently can run the full OS X in all its glory. Isn’t that simply… umm… yeah, slightly meh. Still, these cheap fakes are really… cheap, they are thinner than competing netbooks and some have a larger screen. So if you can hack your way into making one run OS X for you, things are all the merrier.
This version however is a netbook sold by an entity that is currently flying under the Apple radar. They are asking for your credit card number and even though the price is $325 (man that’s a cheap Hackintosh), losing your money and identity may not be worth it you know. Just look from a distance and appreciate the many hours it must’ve taken to make this thing work.
The ‘HackBook Air’ video can be found on the other side. If you have a hackintosh you would like to show off, please do so by all means in the comments section! If yours is really good, it gets covered in a separate post dedicated to it. How about that?!

The litl Webbook has just found itself in an exclusive video demo by none other than the CEO of litl himself. This feat was achieved by a member of TechCrunch and it shows us in detail what the litl is really about.
The litl Webbook is about simplicity. It is about making tasks like Internet surfing a lot easier than they are on conventional netbooks. It takes away as much as possible from the usual computer experience without hampering the essential utilities of the device.

As everyone waits for the Éclair release of the Android OS (Éclair is the codename for version 2.0), the web is rife with talks of even more new Android phones and devices. A lot of things have changed since I reported about it the last time. When I say a lot of things have changed, what I really mean is that the lovable green robot has gotten itself another smattering of delectable new phones and devices. I am slavering just by looking at the array. Could it be, that this loyal Apple fan is actually considering something other than an iPhone? Oh, how the world has changed!
Anyway, a little competition is always good for companies like Apple. ‘Don’t let ‘em get too complacent’ is what I always say. But we, the users, have it the best actually. Companies are tripping over each other to bring out the best just for us!
Anyway, the latest on the Android awaits you on the other side.

With CEATEC underway and more Asian companies bringing out netbooks, the action in the netbook segment has gone east for the moment. Sure things are trickling down to the West after the Asian markets have had their fill but if you want to see netbooks that will never see the other side of the GMT, you have to head east.
Having exhausted all possible combinations of Intel Atom and the usual features found in netbooks, the companies are now keen on experimenting with things like in-built 3G, GPS, etc. Take the Nokia Booklet 3G as an example or look at what Kohjinsha is doing. Jump over to the other side for the entire round up.

This is not your usual laptop review that you read on all the other computer sites that review laptops all the time. This is more of a personal experience review with a laptop that I have purchased recently. I needed a lightweight laptop with excellent battery and enough power so that my work would not be slowed down while working with it. My last laptop was a 15.4″ Toshiba laptop running Windows Vista that was to heavy to be portable. It also did not have the power that I needed for a fluent workflow.
Here is what I usually need the laptop for. I need it to update my blogs, surf the web, work in Microsoft Office, view movies and to play music. The laptop should come with a good batter that would last longer than the usual 3-4 hours that most laptop manufacturers seem to favor so that it could be used on longer trips without the need of finding a power source to charge the battery on the trip. I did not need a laptop for gaming or other performance intensive tasks like video editing. Continue reading “Acer Aspire 3810T 354G32N Timeline Review” »
