I wanted to take a moment to let you know about a new web site I’ve just launched, called mobiputing . As you can probably guess from the name, mobiputing is and will continue to be a sister site to Liliputing.

Asus has pretty much stopped offering its netbooks and nettops with Linux preloaded. Instead, most of the company’s products come with Windows XP or Windows 7. But retailer Newegg is selling a first generation Asus Eee Box EB2020 nettop with Red Flag Linux , a Chinese Linux distribution that’s designed to look an awful lot like Windows XP .

It looks like Lenovo may be planning to add a WiMAX option to the IdeaPad U150  inch thin and light notebook. Wireless Goodness spotted an FCC filing for the U150 with an internal wielress card that would support WiMAX mobile broadband as well as 802.11b/g/n WiFi.

It seems like everybody and their kid brother has a new nettop with next-generation NVIDIA ION graphics to show these days. So how do you set your super-slim and tiny desktop PC apart from the crowd? Simple.

As expected , HP is now offering customers the option of configuring the HP Mini 5102 business netbook with a 1.83GHz Intel Atom processor . The processor upgrade is only $25, but there’s a slight catch — it’s not available on any of HP’s “ Smart Buy ” configurations. And that means you’ll end up paying at least $543 to purchase the HP Mini 5102 with an Atom N470 processor if you go through the HP web site

OK, so you already know that the Alienware M11x outperforms pretty much every other sub-$1000 notebook with an 11.6 inch display when it comes to gaming performance. And you know that it has a 1.3GHz Intel Core 2 Duo CULV processor and NVIDIA GeForce GT 335M graphics. But do you know how tightly fit the graphics, processor, memory, battery, and other components are?
