Does this picture look anything like your life? No… because it’s missing a Samsung N230 netbook.

Samsung N230 netbook ships with 13.8 hours of pretend fun

It’s hard to differentiate yourself in the netbook world nowadays — pretty much every manufacturer is trudging along the same Pine Trail , with the same one, maybe two, gigabytes of RAM and 160GB to 320GB in storage.

It ain’t the first Eee PC we’ve seen with a carbon fiber finish , and if the second one in as many months is any indication, we get the feeling we could see quite a few more of these surface at Computex in just a few weeks. The latest netbook from ASUS has found itself plastered on a German e-tailer’s website, with the R101 proudly boasting a 1.66GHz Atom N450 processor, 250GB hard drive, a 10.1-inch LCD, native 1,024 x 600 resolution, Intel’s GMA 3150 graphics and a battery that’s good for 9.5 hours (if you use it sparingly, we’re sure).

Previously on Computers Designed For Children, protagonist PeeWee PC introduced us to its creation, the Pivot Tablet Laptop , a cute little netvertible with childish specs — but a $600 price that set it well out of reach of the average piggy bank. One year later, PeeWee has matured, but not necessarily for the better. For $100 less, the new PeeWee Power Laptop, which is actually just a rebranded Classmate PC , sports the same carry handle and kid-friendly construction as its predecessor (though with a faster 1.66GHz Atom N450 processor, mind you), but completely ditches the tablet PC functionality.

Dell’s vanilla Atom N450-based Mini 10 just started shipping a couple of months ago, and if you’ll recall, we spotted one slip through the FCC’s oh-so-vulnerable database with WiMAX built-in .

It’s still mildly hard to believe that the Sony VAIO M is for real, given its lack of VAIO’s iconic chiclet keys plus the pretty convincing VAIO W fake that we’ve stumbled upon. Nevertheless, kudos to Sony for reaching out to a more affordable market with its new 3.1-pound netbook

We’ve already witnessed ASUS’ netvertible undergo some hands-on testing , but the units inspected up until now have all been pre-production devices. Well, finally a retail T101MT has made its way out to online scribes and we’ve got the first video review for your delectation.

Sony’s successor to the Vaio W netbook made its debut a little prematurely earlier this month , which has now been followed by its first unboxing and preview. Encased in an appealing matte black plastic, the Vaio M is set for an April launch in the UK at the very reasonable £300 ($456) price point. Unfortunately, the drop in price also means a lower-res 1024 x 600 display, while the W’s chiclet keyboard has also been replaced with a more conventional typing surface.
