Cheap, small Netbook is to provide a little more powerful.

Intel this week confirmed it is shipping a new version of the low-power Atom processor for Netbook.

Dubbed Atom N280, the processor, the main improvement is in the high-definition video playback. The N280 is coupled with a GN40 chipset, a hardware-based HD video decoder for displaying 720p HD video.

This seemingly minor upgrade could significantly change the Netbook experience by using the device only in a much more expensive machines to play back videos. A common complaint about Netbook is choppy video playback, and the N280, this issue should be. Heck, you can buy to use as a portable video player – a device between a video iPod and a full-size notebook. (Think about airplanes or family road trips.)

With the N280, the Atom processor is also a slight increase in speed: 1.66GHz compared to its predecessor, the 1.6 GHz Atom N270.

Panasonic Toughbook notebook is the Jason Statham of the PC industry – a robust, star, only to reject measures that, although the car to the stomach.

If it is found that the Toughbook has some soft corners. Panasonic Toughbook-52-model comes with a 13.3-inch touchscreen display. The standard version of this model is equipped with a 15.4-inch widescreen.

Apple’s iPhone has a standard touch-screen mobile phone at fixture. But notebook makers have been slower to get to that trend.

Rival Fujitsu has a touch screen in a dual-screen notebook. In addition to the regular laptop screen, Fujitsu is an embedded 4-inch touch screen on the keyboard. Most touch screens were on the Tablet PC as a rapier-style notebooks.

Usability analysts say touchscreens are the limit for most notebook users, and offer little additional benefit over the mouse and keyboard. Touchpad unlikely to make a dent interfaces are in the way users with their computers, Anthony Andre, professor of human factors and ergonomics at San Jose State University, told Wired.com before.

It could be one reason why Panasonic takes it slow. It has the optional touchscreen Toughbook buyer.
