Wistron Pursebook
Wistron Pursebook Ultrawide netbook…
We’re not sure about the name, but when it comes to cool gadgets the Wistron Pursebook ticks the boxes. This Snapdragon powered netbook is, as you’d expect, small and pretty light (800g) but it’s the battery life that has impressed us - 8 hours. Now unless you’re going on a seriously long journey with no chance of reaching a mains supply you’d be hard pressed to run out of power.
Like the Vaio P, the Pursebook features an ultra-wide screen - small comfort to some readers but, personally, I took a real disliking to the 7″ and 8.9″ screens.
As with most netbooks on the market, the Wistron Pursebook will run Linux based OSes or Windows (but only CE, not Windows XP or Vista - aaah, shame!). If you’re interested, the Linux variant is called Thundersoft and gives you the usual ability to edit Office docs, browse the experience and waste your working day catching up on social networks!
Admittedly, the Wistron Pursebook is only proof of concept but it does give a hint as to what we could be seeing on the netbook horizon in the near future. The Pursebook itself will be available sometime this year with a price range of $299 - $499 - no UK prices yet.

Why go for a notebook when we have powerful smartphones like Nokia N97 available in the industry that can do almost anything a notebook does.
