Every year manufacturers and retailers roll out cheap one notebook and netbook configurations for Black Friday. Many times these low cost computers are alright for basic users who only want to surf the web and browse photos; but some cheap netbooks sold on Black Friday are cheap for a reason. They aren't any good.
Case in point, the $119 Delstar 7 Inch Wireless Netbook 05 being sold at Kmart on Black Friday this year is a horrible buy.
Black Friday is starting early at Walmart this year. How early you ask; Saturday November 7th early!
That's right this Saturday Walmart stores will offer the...

If there's one thing you can never have too much of, it's hard drive space. Most notebooks these days come with relatively large hard drives, but if you're stuck with an 8 GB netbook or just need easy access to cloud storage that you can access anywhere then Microsoft Live SkyDrive is just what you're looking for and thanks to a new tool, SkyDrive Explorer, you can access it right from My Computer.

Overall, the new design, additional power and glass trackpad have impressed reviewers; though many note that it is prone to scratches and close enough in price that the Macbook Pro may be worth the upgrade.
If you're not content with the smooth reds, blacks, and blues that most notebooks come in then you're going to love the plethora of new colors and textures you ...

Today Lenovo announced more new notebooks in the IdeaPad line, including the 13.5mm thick IdeaPad U150 which is looking to fill the need of portability without sacrificing on horsepower all for around $585.
The 11.6" U150 makes for comes in red or black and can be equipped with a dual core Intel processor to cement its place above the netbooks that fill the 11.6" screen category of notebooks.
There's something about a 13" notebook with a 9 hour battery life that calls to mind true love in notebook form, and that's what I thought I had encountered when I first read Laptop magazine's review of the HP Pavilion dm3t, but no love is without fault and the trackpad of the new dm3t changes it from love at first sight to try before you buy.
Yesterday we showed you how to turn the files you downloaded from Windows 7 Student discount upgrade bootable on a flash drive or DVD to help users get past several upgrade errors but there are still issues plaguing many students.
The biggest issue is affecting users who want to upgrade form a 32-bit version of Windows Vista to a 64-bit version of Windows 7. In many cases these users can't even unpack the setup files to make a bootable disc.
Windows 7 is officially out which means it's time to think about upgrading. Unfortunately upgrading from Windows XP to Windows 7 is made difficult by that fact that, by default, Microsoft has not provided a way to do an in place upgrade.
