Kojinsha Netbook Concept
is showing photos of the new Kojinsha Netbook with dual monitor concept they saw in CEATEC. The netbook packs an AMD Athlon NeoMv-40, 4GB RAM, 160GB hard drive and 10.1″ screen by two.
To keep the size of a netbook, the monitors slide one over the other when you only need to use one of them. This concept will obviously drain your battery faster, so standard batteries will not work very well on this. There’s not much detail about this but I’m pretty sure they will include a more powerful battery pack when the product becomes available to last at least 4 hrs per single charge.
Also, having the extra monitor plus the possibility of larger battery could add up to its weight. And probably to its price.

TigerDirect.com is selling netbooks accessories from Acer in a single kit that only costs $79.97
(there’s also $99). The kit includes a netbook sleeve that can hold an 8″ or 10″, a wireless mouse and an external optical drive. The package is selling like hotcakes since the last time I checked, there’s still stock and now
they are gone. This
link still shows it’s available but I’m not sure if you will see the same.

Slashgear says it will start at
Nickelodeon Edition Dell Inspiron MIni
This is not actually fresh news because Dell has since
announced this edition last month. But the Nickelodeon Edition Dell Inspiron Mini looks fresh itself in it’s slimy green design. Basically, it shares the same specification with the Mini 10v, sporting Intel Atom CPU, 1024 x 600 resolution display in 10.1″ screen. And if you take a careful look, the only thing you will notice that sets this apart is the design.
This one’s definitely for the Nickelodeon heart in you.
Microsoft Security Essential turned Free for public download just recently. And while it could generally run on Windows XP/Vista and the new Windows 7, it also does not require too high system requirements. So basically, any netbook running any of the mentioned OS can also run this software.
MDR of Netbooks Philippines spent some time trying out the MS Security Essential. According to MDR, downloading and installing the software did not give him a hassle. While it run, it also did not take too much punishment to his netbooks (hp mini and eee pc), allowing him to browse the internet using Google Chrome and do some Office tasks at the same time.
I am currently using McAfee software and so far I have not encounter any problem. But I will definitely try this one out soon. What security software do you guys currently use on your netbooks? (or laptops and desktops)
