Take out the two screws that hold the keyboard in place, one is above the label, and the other is below the label. Now instead of un-screwing the back side, flip it over and look at the top row of keys as they touch the top plastic. You should see four little tabs holding down the keypad. Lift gently with a small screwdriver on the sheet of keys, while pushing in the tabs. This will release the keypad from the top and then you can pull it forward and free the tabs at the bottom of the keypad.

At this point you want to release the keypad cable from its socket - the dark colored part of the socket is the compression tab to locks it in place. You might at this point want to release the two other cables, the lower left is the touch pad, the lower right is cable to the two push buttons on either side of the touch pad and the LEDs at the front of the unit. This is all part of an accessory board that runs across the front of the unit. Now flip it over and remove the remaining screws and stick a small screw driver in the front middle where a single bit of plastic holds it together.

I had some problem getting my top to pull away from the two hinges and it seemed using the small screw driver to pry up ever so slightly on the top of the tabs, freed them and allowed them to slide over the hinges. It is a bit tight where the hinges and the top of keybard come together and thus will take a little playing with to get it to separate cleanly. After a few tries I was able to fold the lid back just right and give a pry and the top came free - a bit of having the right push-pull experience to make it work easily.

Sometime after lunch, the components of which I suspect I am no longer allowed to discuss, I developed a peculiar craving. It wasn't a sweet tooth or a need for coffee … it wasn't even the rare moments when I feel like walking into a bar in the middle of the afternoon; this was different.

It wasn't just the raspy voice or championship career that drew me to the King of the Ring, but the all-in attitude he carried through every aspect of his life. Whether it be wrestling for twenty championship titles, acting in the movie Spider-Man or making a rap album, Savage went lights-out. That night I tossed and turned in my sleep.

The first sign of a normal dream would be permeated with initially hidden chants of "Ooh Yeah! Resolving that I wasn't going to get much in the way of sleep, I pulled up my ultra portable and convenient Sylvania 7" Wi-Fi Netbook to start listening to "Pomp and Circumstance" while I browsed the internet for sunglasses and bandanas.

Nothing, it seemed at the time, was more important. Without my Sylvania Netbook, I don't think I would have made it through that night. My insatiable desire to know more about the four-time WCW World Heavyweight Champion would have reached dangerous levels had I not been able to access the internet so conveniently and effortlessly.

Fortunately, I never had to live that part. All thanks to this Netbook. That is why I have volunteered to share my story to all those considering purchasing this fine device. It could change your life. Also, Macho Man Randy Savage, during the tour for his monumentally inspirational rap album Be a Man, he said that he was "absolutely going to have more records. This Smartbook is one of a family of devices focused on mobility and Internet access.

Smaller and lighter than a laptop, your Smartbook is meant to be used anywhere life takes you. Don't GIVE up Since then, the device appeared in a CVS advertising circular on Sunday and has been "flying off the shelves," an article by Information Week reports.

Apart from the coloring of its case -- both silver above left and red above right versions are offered -- the Sylvania netbook appears to be the same device that was placed on sale last May as the ITA Smartbook 7. That netbook was being sold from a website appropriately called 98dollarnetbook. Namely, the device is said to run Windows CE 6. The Sylvania netbook mimics more expensive netbooks with features such as three USB 2. Digital Gadgets cites Like the Smartbook 7, which, we're confident, came from the same Shenzhen-based supplier, the Sylvania device is said to include an mAh battery.

According to Information Week writer W. David Gardner, "reviews and comments on user chat rooms were generally favorable. I actually like this little mini-netbook. It's pretty fast and responsive. In a minute video review embedded later in this story , YouTube user "gdavisFTA" counters that "the Sylvania boots really quickly, in about 30 seconds, but that's the only thing it does fast -- everything else is really slow.

As noted in the video review, the Sylvania netbook includes an Internet Explorer version that does not support Flash, but also offers a separate player for YouTube videos. The device is said to include additional software such as Windows Media Player and Wordpad. WonderMedia Technologies used 's Computex show in Taiwan to launch an arm9-based system-on-chip SoC aimed at "smartbooks," digital picture frames, media players, and other devices.

The SoC appears to support a wide variety of memory types, and WonderMedia touts the Prizm 's "low power consumption," though further details still haven't been offered.

WonderMedia has not provided any information on these processors, but according to NorhTec, which used the VT in its MicroClient TC, they're similar to the Prizm but omit certain multimedia extras. The parent company is primarily known for its xbased processors and chipsets for the mobile and embedded markets, including the Eden and Eden ULV, the C7-M ULV, and the bit Via Nano, a 65nm design with an out-of-order execution unit.

At the time, Via said the processors were licensed to help Via and its subsidiaries improve products aimed at mobile phones, set-top boxes, telematics, and personal media players.

Have you invested in one of these cheap netbooks? If so, what do you think of it? Let us know by posting comments below! No Contract Req. A Wi-Fi hotspot is a wireless access point that provides Internet access to network devices in public locations such as downtown centers, cafes, airports and hotels. Businesses and schools are increasingly using Wi-Fi hotspots for their internal intranet networks.

Home wireless networks also use similar Wi-Fi technology. Computers and other devices connect to hotspots using a Wi-Fi network adapter.

Newer laptop computers contain built-in adapters, but most other computers do not. Wi-Fi network adapters can be purchased and installed separately. Public Wi-Fi hotspots normally require a paid subscription. The sign-up process involves providing credit card information online or by phone and choosing a service plan.

Some service providers offer plans that work at thousands of hotspots throughout the country. A few pieces of technical information are also required to access Wi-Fi hotspots. The network name also called SSID distinguishes hotspot networks from each other. Encryption keys a long series of letters and numbers scramble the network traffic to and from a hotspot; most businesses require these as well. Service providers supply this profile information for their hotspots.

Computers can automatically scan for hotspots within range of their wireless signal. These scans identify the network name SSID of the hotspot allowing the computer to initiate a connection. Instead of using a computer to find hotspots, some people prefer to use a separate gadget called a Wi-Fi finder. These small devices scan for hotspot signals similarly to computers, and many provide some indication of signal strength to help pinpoint their exact location.

Before traveling to a far-away place, the location of Wi-Fi hotspots can be found using online wireless hotspot finder services. The process for connecting to a Wi-Fi hotspot works similarly on home, business and public wireless networks.

With the profile network name and encryption settings applied on the wireless network adapter, you initiate the connection from your computer operating system or software that was supplied with the network adapter. Paid or restricted hotspot services will require you to log in with a user name and password the first time you access the Internet. Although few incidents of hotspot security issues are reported in the press, many people remain skeptical of their safety.

Some caution is justified as a hacker with good technical skills can break into your computer through a hotspot and potentially access your personal data.

Taking a few basic precautions will ensure reasonable safety when using Wi-Fi hotspots. First, research the public hotspot service providers and choose only reputable ones who use strong security settings on their networks. Next, ensure you do not accidentally connect to non-preferred hotspots by checking your computer's settings. Finally, be aware of your surroundings and watch for suspicious individuals in the vicinity who may be reading your screen or even plotting to steal your computer.

Wi-Fi hotspots are becoming an increasingly common form of Internet access. Connecting to a hotspot requires a wireless network adapter, knowledge of the profile information of that hotspot, and sometimes a subscription to a paid service. An rPi would be a better investment. I already have 5. Not 7. Screw it.

This is just silly. If it was sold here in India, I would have purchased it. Just for the kicks :. I know this is a US deal but it triggered something in my head.

As far as I know WPCentral is British, so why does every article you post advertise the products in dollars? Mobile Nations is global. I know a guy in Ottawa who writes for them. I, as the editor in chief, am in New York. Rich and Jay who is our app developer, not a writer are British. Mobile Nations is technically based out of Florida, though we do have "global writers", including a few in Canada.

Ah okay that's makes sense. Sorry for confusion. I wonder if Ubuntu will work on it Does it have Bluetooth? Could function as a music system if it did. So it should do it. Well, mine are not so good, i dont have qwerty phisicaly keyboard :P. Probably the best use of this would be as a remote desktop device. I'm not deriding you.

I am assuming that English is not your first language. You spelled almost every word, in your post phonetically. That was a head turner! I've seen a lot of interesting spellings, in posts, on WPCentral, but that was unique. But can it run Crysis? CE stands for Consumer Electronics. Weird the device ships with CE 6.

The next Embedded Compact is coming out this year If you can get your hands on the board support package bsp and a copy of platform builder or whatever it's called now , then you can upgrade it to Windows CE 7 or even Windows Embedded CE 8.

Sure I ordered one. I need more toys! Probably has more functionality. Why anyone would buy a Chromebook is beyond me. I was really just joking about it having more functionality If anyone here thinks that this is a worthwhile purchase to give to a kid or to use for simple computing, they obviously don't understand what WinCE is.

So does anyone know if has internet explorer or if you can load chrome on it? What about office word, power point, etc? I'm gona run some wireless survey stuff with mine! I processed returns for these at a Kmart all the time.

They were often defective or simply didn't run at all. Just for people who don't understand the hints posted by others, this thing is flat-out useless outside of some speciality use cases. The "browsers" rendering is nearly equivalent to IE 2, it won't render most modern websites.
