Just last week we saw the first netbook using Intel’s upcoming Pineview chipset / processor, the Lenovo S10-3 (FL5-B3) pass though the FCC.

It now looks like there are now two Pineview netbooks planned. The second being Fujitsu MH380 / M380 LifeBook, which is a 10.1-inch netbook from the Fujitsu’s M Series.

Very little is known about the Fujitsu LifeBook MH380 / M380 but we will pass on all the information that is currently known. It features a 10.1-inch LCD with a 1366 x 768 (720p HD) with the new Intel Atom N450 (1.6GHz) PineView CPU, RealTek Ethernet, and Atheros 802.11 b/g/n WiFi.

Fujitsu MH380

From the drawing of the Fujitsu M380 / MH380 it looks like it will have quite rounded corners, a removable battery and plenty of panels fro upgrades.

This is only the second Intel PineView netbook to show up so far, hopefully we will see some more from the big players such as Asus and Acer soon!

The Asus Eee PC 1000H, along with the popular 1000HE, was one of Asus’ first releases of the Eee PC range with a ten inch screen. It carries the standard specifications one might expect from an excellent performer in the field such as the Intel Atom N270 1.6Ghz processor, 1Gb of system memory and between 80GB and 160GB of storage.

Asus no longer produce this netbook, but they have not forgotten their followers. Asus now have a Windows 7 upgrade guide for users with Windows XP or for those who may already have Windows 7 but are looking for further tips, guidelines and other “official” tidbits of information.

Asus recommend a BIOS upgrade first, then the installation of Windows 7, followed by some utilities and drivers and ends with information on the Super Hybrid Engine and the Asus Update software.

So give it a look see and find out what they have to say. Maybe you already know everything in the guide, but a thumbs up to Asus for still supporting the 1000H with user guides, updated drivers and utilities.

Getting it running was the worse and slowest process ever.

My daughter picked up a(nother) teenie mag yesterday. Apparently this particular one is a must-read for the latest Miley Cyrus info although it appears that they’re getting some good tech scoops too. Check this out. It’s the new Apple tablet with a 10.2” screen and it ’should’ be called the ‘iPad’.’ It’s coming in January.

Photoshoptastic?
