Computex 2009 in Taipei may be over and done with for another year, but the netbooks on display at the show are still coming to light.  Here is one of those,  the J&W Minix 811.

There aren’t many surprises here when it comes to the specs, this one does seem to be thinner and lighter than the average netbook and, even better still, it has both a matte screen and fairly large and apparently responsive keyboard.

JKKMobile takes a look at some NVidia ION powered netbooks at Computex 2009, including COD4 and it seems to run just fine!

OCZ Neutrino netbook with Nvidia Ion

The Chinese Engadget spotted that ION powered OCZ Neutrino Netbook. In benchmark tests, the FPS rate at 1024 x 600 was around 1 – 5 fps which is similar to the average notebook with discrete graphics (non-integrated graphics).

Video after the break.

NVidia’s Tegra platform is looking to be one of the most exciting developments to come out of Tapei’s Computex this year.  Here, on video, Gordon Grigor, NVidia’s Director of Mobile Software shows off a device running their Tegra platform streaming a 720p MSN HD trailer off the web (over WiFi) then switches over to Firefox show off Flash in full screen on Flash Earth.   There are two version,  the Tegra 600 can do H.264 video at 720p while the Tegra 650 can decode 1080p

For Smartbooks applications using Tegra, we are looking at 256MB – 1GB RAM configurations, with 512MB probably being the most common to keep prices low – projected to be within $150-200 dollars.  That means no huge Firefox missions with 20-30 tabs open, more like 3-4 tabs ont the 512mb versions.

OS wise, no Windows XP, Vista or 7 here – it’s Windows CE or Google Android.  Dual boot should be possible.

Battery life is another plus – small, light 3 cell batteries should afford you about 8 hours.

So, sit back and enjoy this great demo and interview, it’s worth a watch as Grigor explains the benefit of their Atom-smashing GPU not just for video, but also web browsing.

The 10.1” Acer Aspire One 531 gets the hand-on video treatment.  For more details and specs, read our Acer Apsire One 531 Pro coverage here.

The first impression of this netbook, is that it’s light and thin – seems to be a trend these days following after the Asus Seashell theories, and we certainly don’t mind.  This Onkyo netbook weighs in at just 933 grams and is less than an inch thick at .9 inches.  According to Portable Monkey, it feels even lighter and slimmer than the ASUS Eee PC S101 I previously owned until last month.  The one downside is that there is no actual VGA out port.  Instead, you have to make do with a big adaptor that attaches via mini USB.

Further, there is a 1800mAh li-poly battery should be good up to 5 hours but no slot for a SIM and one mystery slot that know one seems to know anything about…yet.

Read past the break for the full spces.

Specs:

- Atom N270 processor
-1GB RAM (not upgradable)
-32GB SSD
-10.1” 1024 x 600 glossy display
-802.11n Wi-Fi
-0.3MP Webcam
-Windows XP Home

This ECS netbook was debuted shortly before Computex and looks to set itself apart as a high end model.  As well as potentially featuring an 11.6″ screen in the future (notice the larger than usual bezel) it also boasts LED lights in the trackpad and a 4-Cell Li-poly battery good for 5 hours.

While the rest of the specs seem pretty basic netbook fare, the design looks sleek annd slim and the keyboard is the popular chiclet style.

ECS T10IL Specs:

• Screen size is 10.1” with 1024 x 600 pixels (matte).
• Intel Atom N270 processor + 945GSE graphics
• Up to 2GB RAM
• Under 1kg Weight.
• 1.3MP or 2.0MP Webcam.
• Bluetooth, HSUPA WWAN
• 2.5” HDD
• Windows XP Home

This isn’t your usual netbook. First, the screen, it’s 8.1″ and maeks this a tiny netbook. Like the Sony Vaoi P. Second, it runs Android!! Third, check out the processor choice. No Intel Atom here, it’s a 800mhz or 1ghz TI OMAP3. There are also two PCIe slots which will probably come loaded with WWAN HSPA and WiMAX. The T800 weighs in at 800g and will be available in the second half of 2009 priced under $500.

ECS T800 Specs:

* 8.1-Inch LCD (glossy, no word on resolution)
* 800MHz or 1GHz Texas Instruments OMAP3 Chipset. (ARM CPU and PowerVR GPU)
* Google Android OS
* 512MB RAM
* 2.5-Inch HDD or SSD
* 2x USB Ports, Card Reader, Headphone jack.
* 1.3MP Webcam

The Asus 1101Ha will Debut at Computex 2009

The 11.6 inch netbook has been rumoured for a while now, and it looks like it will make its debut at Computex 2009 in the form o f the Asus Eee PC 1101HA.  The show doesn’t actually start until tomorrow, but those clever folks at Engadget managed to get the shot above from their booth.  With this limited information, all we know is that that the 1101HA will have a 11.6 LCD screen with higher than average 1366 x 768 resolution, an 11 hour battery, and Intel’s Atom Z520 / Z530 CPU, 1GB of RAM, a 160GB hard drive, three USB 2.0 sockets, a multicard reader.  Styling wise, the case seems to take cues from Asus’s Seashell line of late – like the Asus 1008HA that can already be had here in the UK for £379.50.

Stay tuned tomorrow for news about this new netbook, and a roundup of all the Computex 2009 news.

Computex netbook news, coming June 2-6 2009

So, what ‘s the next big thing for netbooks?  Ion platform, Tegra for lowcost netbooks?  Google Android nebooks possibly, or netbooks using Intel’s ULV platform?   Are the same old netbooks we have been seeing for the last year about to warp? Computex 2009 will reveal all.  Below are some of the things we expect at Computex, but surely there will also be unexpected annoucements.

- The first ARM powered netbooks will be shown as well as systems running on Qualcom’s Snapdragon platform. These netbooks won’t be as powerful as Intel’s solution, but surely more power efficient and affordable.

- At the other end of the spectrum, Nvidia will finally be showing off its Ion platform, which pairs Intel Atom with GeForc 9400M graphics, in netbooks. The Lenovo S12 is the first notebook to be powered by the platform and will be on display.

- Intel will be officially showing off its new ULV platform which is destined for notebooks like MSI’s X340, that are ultraportable and ultrathin. We have our fingers crossed that there are product announcements from Taiwanese notebook manufacturers that coincide with the new processors being available.

- We  look forward to checking out some new software which we expect to be focused on the Cloud. We are expecting to see a few netbooks running Google’s Android and other new Linux environments that are tailored to netbooks.

- At this year’s Computex 2009, ECS will introduce 3 new netbooks in the form of the ECS T10IL, ECS V10IL and ECS T21IL.

- Nvidia will be showing off the first netbooks that run on the Tegra platform at the Computex show, which kicks off on Tuesday in Taiwan. The Tegra platform is different to ION in that it pairs an ARM-based processor with an Nvidia 9400m
