Slick LG X20 netbook passes through the FCC

LG passed a svelte netbook called the X20 through the FCC today.  The Windows 7 device weighs only about 2.6 pounds (1.2 kg) with a 4 cell battery, and sports a 10.1” 1366 x 768 TFT color LCD screen, Intel Atom N450 processor, Intel 3150 GMA graphics, up to 2GB of RAM, 1.3 MP web cam, Bluetooth and HSPA 3G.

The user manual for the X20 indicates that the netbook will be released in the United States, Canada, Europe, Australia, China, India, Korea and Singapore.  The test report for the device shows several model numbers for the X20, including X200, XB200, XD200 and XV200 – we’d guess that these various model numbers are for different regions.  No word on pricing or a release date.

Update:  The Intel Atom in the X20 is a N450, 1.66 GHz processor according to test reports.  We have also confirmed 802.11 b/g/n WiFi and a 250GB 2.5” HDD, although the size of the HDD likely varies.

We don’t have exact measurements for the X20, but by eyeballing external photos of the device we’re estimating that it measures about 6.7” x 11” (170mm x 280mm).

A closeup of the X20’s keyboard reveals chiclet-style keys and a relatively small trackpad.

Acer NAV50, NAV60 netbooks pose for the FCC

January 20th, 2010 japa Comments off

We first spotted label pics of Acer’s NAV50 and NAV60 notebooks on the FCC back in December.  Today, external pictures of the device were released to the FCC, revealing a glistening silver exterior and white interior.

Unfortunately, Acer only submitted a generic user’s manual to the FCC, so we don’t know the exact specs of the NAV50/60.  However, the device’s compact form factor suggest that it is a netbook.  Additionally, the test report for the NAV50/60 show WWAN capabilities with support for quad band GSM/EDGE, and WCDMA bands I, II and V.

Acer lists the model name for this device as the NAV50 for Acer and NAV60 for Gateway and Packard Bell.  Three ‘marketing’ names are also mentioned:  AO532, LT21 and dot s2.

No word on pricing or availability of the NAV50/60, but we’ll keep you updated as we learn more.

Daria SVE00 netbook from FIC passes through the FCC

January 17th, 2010 japa Comments off

FIC, aka First International Computer, is known for its OEM parts and systems.  Today, the company passed the interesting-looking Daria SVE00 netbook through the FCC.

The screen of the SVE00 is slightly smaller than the bottom of the netbook, so the base of the netbook protrudes around the sides and front edge of the device when it’s closed.  Still, the netbook measures only 11.2” x 8.5” x 1.0”, and weighs 2.65 pounds.

The screen on the SVE00 measures 10.1”, and under the hood the SVE00 rocks an Intel N450 Atom, integrated graphics, up to 2 GB of RAM, Bluetooth, 3G WWAN and 802.11 b/g/n.  The device comes with a 3 cell battery that lasts up to 4 hours.

FIC will probably sell the SVE00 in the US through an OEM partner.  No word on pricing or availability.

Sharetronic passes six netbooks through the FCC

Chinese computer manufacturer Sharetronic Group passed six netbooks through the FCC today.  External pics of the device reveal a shiny exterior and a form factor similar to HP’s Mini lineup.  Sharetronic’s netbooks have the model numbers SN008, SN010, SN011, SN012, SN013 and SN014 and it appears that the only difference between these netbooks is their color.

The user manual for the SN series netbooks reveal a Intel N270 Atom processor, 802.11 b/g, webcam and an HDMI port.  It also appears that Sharetronic will offer four screen sizes, 12.1”, 11.6”, 11.1”, and 10”.  The 10” version will have a 1024×600 resolution, while the other models will offer 1366×768.

Sharetronic does not list a brand for the SN series netbooks, so most likely these netbooks will be rebranded on their way to the States.

Toshiba NB300 netbook line officially announced

January 4th, 2010 japa Comments off

We first spotted Toshiba’s NB300 netbook on the FCC back in early December.  Today, Toshiba formally unveiled the NB300 line, starting with the NB305.

The NB305 rocks an Intel Atom N450 processor, 250 GB HDD, and 6 cell battery with 11 hours of battery life.  Two versions of the netbook will be available – the first features chicklet keys, while the other has a more traditional keyboard.  These netbooks will retail for $400 and $350 respectively.

Toshiba’s previous NB200 series netbooks were well received, and it looks like the NB300 is a solid follow-up.  However, we agree with Engadget that the lack of upgraded graphics is a bit disappointing.

January 4th, 2010 japa Comments off

These new netbooks will be available in early January, although no pricing is available yet at this point.

More Samsung N150 netbook goodness on the FCC

December 31st, 2009 japa Comments off

image

The Samsung N150, a PineView-powered netbook, first popped up on the FCC ten days ago.  Today, another filing for the N150 appeared on the FCC, this time for WWAN, Bluetooth and WiFi features.

The test report for the N150 shows support for 850/1900 GSM/EDGE/WCDMA WWAN, as well as Bluetooth powered by Broadcom and an Atheros WiFi card.  Other than that, there’s not much new to see here.

There’s still no indication of when the N150 will be released, however as we previously mentioned there are already some product pages up for the N150, so a January launch seems likely.

Foxconn’s SZ900, SZ901 netbooks will be sold with Sylvania branding

December 29th, 2009 japa Comments off

Last week, Foxconn passed a Linux-powered netbook called the SZ901P through the FCC.  Today, a similar device called the SZ901 made it through the FCC, this time with Sylvania branding and the SYNET51601X model number.

As we previously mentioned, the specs on the SZ901P are quite pedestrian.  The most interesting part of the netbook was Foxconn’s custom FoxOS Linux operating system.  There’s no word on if the Sylvania version of the SZ901 will feature the FoxOS, however.

Sylvania PCs are sold in the US, so there is a decent chance that the SYNET51601X makes it to the States.

Foxconn’s SZ901P shows-off Linux-based FoxOS operating system

December 22nd, 2009 japa Comments off

OEM manufacturer Foxconn passed the SZ901P netbook, pictured above, through the FCC today.  We don’t know much about the specs of the SZ901P, other than the device has Bluetooth, WiFi, WWAN and a CCD webcam.  Overall, the device looks unremarkable.

However, Foxconn did decide to install an interesting Linux-based OS called FoxOS on the SZ901P.  The OS has a Mac-like launcher, as well as multimedia, productivity and web browsing applications.  You can also install Windows XP on the SZ901P, of course.

If you do see the SZ901P, it will likely be rebranded.  There’s no indication what role the FoxOS will play in the company’s OEM efforts, but the OS could be easily customized with alternative branding.
