Jul 17th 2009 2:39PM (Engadget)Next Gecko netbook to have bigger screen, AA power, $200 price?
May 7th 2009 8:29AM (Engadget)This sounds like an interesting netbook, but seems to be several things missing from that $200 price.
Pro:
+ fanless, CPU doesn't need active cooling
+ has an x86 compatible CPU so it can run Windows
Cons:
- 1Ghz Xcore86 CPU, I don't know the benchmarks on this CPU, but it sounds even weaker than VIA 1GHz CPUs
- HD not included (option)
- Rechargeable batteries not included (option)
- WiFi not included (option)
- Looks like the CPU and RAM are on one module so you can't just upgrade the RAM itself
Buy the time you add in those options, it seems this netbook would be over $300. It appears to be a decent looking netbook, but I wonder what the real cost of a usable version would be.
