Not a single smartbook hit the market in 2009, but we heard quite a lot about them. Smartbooks are mini-laptops with low power ARM-based processors. They get excellent battery life and will allow you to always stay connected to the internet through WiFi or a 3G cellular connection.
Recently chip-maker Qualcomm said that Lenovo would be making a smartbook based on a Qualcomm processor. This will be the first smartbook from Lenovo and it is likely to be available subsidized through AT&T.
Now Pegatron Technology, a Taiwanese company, says that it has received huge orders for smartbooks that will be released in 2010. Pegatron devices have a history of getting rebranded and resold in the US by some big PC vendors. So chances are we will see a flood of announcements in the first quarter of 2010. Pegatron smartbooks are expected to run on Linux-based operating systems and could sell for around $200.
