• Microsoft Windows 7 OS
• 10.1-inch display
• 1280×720 resolution
• 1.6GHz Z530 processor

Pricing information is not available as of yet.

No wonder Linux netbooks are not selling ‘that’ well! – Microsoft teaches Best Buy to trash Linux

Microsoft has confirmed (to dailyfinance) that it actually DOES train the Best Buy Employees the ‘important’ differences between Linux and Windows Computers.
