Check this out, I want one, it has got to be perfect. At least for me as I’m an Android fan! Archos has just announced the new ArcBook will be available in June and it’s priced art only $169.99. This laptop or netbook or whatever you want to call it is running Android 4.2 and it has a 10.1 inch touchscreen with full access to Google Play and the battery can provide up to 10 hours of use. I don’t know about you but I really like the sound of this thing… More details below..

Mobility Digest Review: Elecom 10.1” Tablet / Netbook Carry Bag
Bags, bags and more bags, cases, cases and more cases. Guess what I have for review today? Yep, it’s a bag or a case, it’s sort of both. It’s called a bag, but it looks more like what I think of as a case. Meh, whatever, the product is specifically called the Elecom 10.1” Tablet / Netbook Carry Bag and I like it. This bag has a separate section just for your tablet or netbook and then smaller sections for accessories like a mouse and power adapter. It’s not a bad case overall, it’s made of a water repellent material, but it could be a bit more padded. So read on….
Mobility Digest Review: iGadgitz 8.9” Hard Cover Notebook / Tablet Case
Have you ever really looked into buying a case for your tablet or netbook or even notebook? There is just a plethora of them out there, yes I used plethora, and that’s the best word to describe it really. I like the word, it’s one that’s not used much anymore I think, but it really applies when it comes to the choice of cases out there today. Anyway, if you couldn’t have guessed, I have another case for review today. With the popularity of tablets on the rise, netbook and notebook cases are now being used for tablets, when you look at a site you’ll find the same cases listed in both sections. This is a good thing I guess as it gives you more choices, then again it can make life more difficult as you’ve now got so many to pick from. So the case I have for review today is the 8.9” iGadgitz Hard Cover Notebook Case and it kind of reminds me of a mini brief case. The case is a hard shell style, but it has a cloth material covering it and some padding in there too of course for protection. The case has velcro straps to hold your tablet or notebook in place and there’s even a mesh pocket to hold any accessories or other stuffs you might want to bring along with you. So without further chitchat from me, read on for the review…
Mobility Digest Review: E-volve Tuff-Shell 10" Tablet or Netbook Case
These days it seems netbook cases do double duty as tablet cases as well. When you’re searching for a tablet case you’ll notice netbook cases come up in your results, and that’s not a bad thing as it offers more choices. Well at least I think more choices is a good thing! Today for review I have a hard case that can be used with a tablet or netbook up to ten inches in size, it’s the E-Volve Tuff-Shell case and it sorts of just like it sounds, a hard shell case. Sleeves for tablets are nice, but I like having a hard shell biter as it offers a lot more protection that just a sleeve will. This particular case is fairly plain looking, basic black really, so you could use it for most any occasion, business or pleasure. The case has dual zippers for easy access and the outside of the case is pretty much spill-proof so it will protect from accidents and of course the weather. The case is good enough to be used on its own, or you can safely toss it into another bag and not worry about damaging the contents.

Gateway Updates LT Netbook Style and Launches New ID Series
Today for you’ I’ve got essentially two press releases in one from Gateway regarding the updates to the LT Netbooks series and the new release of the ID series laptops.
The Gateway ID Series comes in a sleek silver casing that is punctuated by a unique aqua-blue touchpad that glows when touched, acting as a beacon for accessing entertainment and information.

Mobility Digest Review: Uniea U-Sleaf Reversible Universal Sleeve for 10.2" Netbooks
I’ve come to really like my netbook, honestly I don’t even use my full sized laptop anymore, it’s big and it feels kind of weird after using a netbook for so long. I don’t need a full sized laptop to check my email and browse the web, a netbook is perfectly suited to that task. With the incredible popularity of netbooks comes the inevitable accessories for them and some, as with anything, are better than others.
Today for review Uniea has sent me over a simple, yet elegant solution to protect your netbooks without adding any real weight or bulk to it. The product is called the U-Sleaf, and if you can’t tell from the name it’s a sleeve for your netbook. The U-Sleaf won’t offer the protection of a full sized case, but that’s not the point of it, the idea is to offer the user protection from scratches and scuffs. It’s made of neoprene so it is durable and it’s thin so it doesn’t add any real thickness or any weight at all to your netbook. You can use it alone to travel light, or you can toss it in a bag with your other stuff and not really have to worry about marring the beautiful finish on your beloved netbook. So read on to check out a product that I really like, and one that I think you’ll like as well…
