Pretty impressive size/weight/price…

…now we just need the data from the boffins in the HEXUS.labs to see whether this is ‘baseline function only’ or has some ‘real class’ :)

“Large pot of kenco”…. somebody obviously isnt a caffeine addict, thats a small.

Still, it does appear to be tiny, i hope its going to be compared to the Asus Eee PC, which is only obvious position. I imagine the VIA might be the slower CPU, but overall, im holding out hold for the Packard Bell.

I posted previously commenting on Asus announcement of looking into touch screens for the eeepc, and saying the Belinea s.book is the same as the EasynoteXS using the VIA technology but with a touch screen already. I really like the look of the EasynoteXS over the Belinea s.book but would like to a touchscreen version as I've heard the mouse (thumb) pad isn't that good. So the option of another pointing device in the way of a touchscreen would be great - instead of having to carry around an extra usb mouse. Hope we get a more ‘usability’ comparison from the Hexus guys against the eeepc. :)
