This week in notebooks we observed two big items — a few new netbooks and Google TV. The biggest news was in the form of Google TV details and Google TV accessories from Logitech, specifically the Logitech Revue with Google TV.
The Logitech Revue is a $299 Google TV box that connects to your HDTV and to compatible cable/satellite boxes to bring together your entertainment on the Google TV platform. You can check out our look at the Logitech Revue and complementary accessories which will be available later this month.
