Sony Vaio T Laptops Get 17 Hours of Battery Life!

I thought my Eee PC 1000HE got plenty battery life at about 9 hours but Sony Vaio T laptop (which is only available in Japan as of now) touts as whopping 17 hours of battery life!

Amazon Netbook Review Roundup!

Here’s a round of of best netbooks you can get from Amazon today from our Laptop Blog:

Eee PC 1000H is probably the top-of-the-line netbook to get right now as it offers a 10″ screen,160GB hard drive, Windows XP, and Atom 1.6Ghz processor.  I like the fact that Eee PCs have been leading the netbook industry and you won’t be disappointed carrying this 3.1 pound beast in your bag.
