This thing is sweet, super portable. I estimate it weighs less than three pounds, and has a carrying handle. He told me it was designed by Intel and is for education. I got on it to check my email and it was running XP Pro like a champ. When he got up for a minute, I snuck some pics of it</span></span><span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:100%;color:navy;" ><span style=";font-family:Arial;color:navy;" > and checked out the specs. It has a 900Mhz Celeron, 512 Ram, 40GB HD, 9 Inch screen, wifi, and Ethernet. It seems to be about 7” x 9”x 1.5”. I asked him how much it was going to cost, and he said he didn’t know but would probably be around 400 bucks. Said it should be available in the US by June. At 400 bucks, should kick the eeePC’s ass.</span></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_M6hOwaF4few/R97ymI21jzI/AAAAAAAAABE/jpJihbAAcKQ/s1600-h/netbook3.jpeg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_M6hOwaF4few/R97ymI21jzI/AAAAAAAAABE/jpJihbAAcKQ/s400/netbook3.jpeg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5178843358549086002" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_M6hOwaF4few/R970EI21j1I/AAAAAAAAABU/wR1zSMR5sQ8/s1600-h/notbook2.jpeg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_M6hOwaF4few/R970EI21j1I/AAAAAAAAABU/wR1zSMR5sQ8/s400/notbook2.jpeg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5178844973456789330" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_M6hOwaF4few/R97yl421jyI/AAAAAAAAAA8/mLjMrhHn5ps/s1600-h/netbook1.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_M6hOwaF4few/R97yl421jyI/AAAAAAAAAA8/mLjMrhHn5ps/s400/netbook1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5178843354254118690" border="0" /></a><br /><span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;color:navy;" ><span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:10;color:navy;" ><br /></span></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5172765862540522595-5008789038257517001?l=techcornerstone.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Hiking Foolhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10778998530137914973noreply@blogger.com72
