AIRIS Kira netbook lands in Spain, but without an Operating System
Airis Kira 700 netbook is now available in the Spain, but launched without an OS. But that has helped to hit the retail shops for as low as 299 Euros. It is a typical 10.2-inch netbook with 1024×600 resolution.
Other specs include:
- Intel Atom N270 CPU
- 1GB RAM
- 160GB HDD
- 3USB Ports
- Intel GMA 950
- Memory Card reader
- 1.3MP webcam
- Bluetooth and WiFi
It is rated to give you upto 4.5 hours of battery life. What makes me feel weird is the fact that most of the manufactures are still sticking to the old Intel Atom N270 processor, which is so yester year. It is high time they upgrade themselves to Z530, Z540 or in worst case, N280
Packard Bell DOT M/U FT-020: Rebranded Acer Timeline 1810T/1410
Packard Bell has launched a CULV netbook, DOT M/U FT-020 that has a 11.6-inch screen and looks exactly like the Acer Aspire 1810T. Even the innards of this netbook are exactly like 1810T that is basically an Acer Aspire 751H with a more powerful processor and more RAM.
As mentioned earlier, it has an 11.6-inch screen with a resolution of 1366×768. It uses SU3500 CULV processor that is more powerful than the Intel Atom processor. The SU3500 runs at 1.4GHz clock speed and has 3MB of cache memory. However, it is not as energy efficient as it gobbles up more power than Intel Atom N280 (2.5watts versus 5.5watts). Its GMA 4500 is also much more powerful and capable than Intel GMA 950 that comes in the most netbooks.
Just like the Timeline 1810T, it has 2GB RAM, 250GB HDD, WiFi (Draft-N) and BT. It has HDMI port, 2 USB ports, 1 LAN port, earphone and microphone jacks and SDHC card reader.
Its 5600mAh battery promises 7 hours of runtime which not shabby at all for such powerful netbook

Look at the audacity of Samsung: Releasing a netbook with the Atom N270 processor in the Q4 of 2009! The N130, that has an Atom N270 processor and a pitiful 1.5W mono speaker comes with a 3-cell (2300 mAh) or 6-cell (4000mAh) battery. This is the same company that released the revolutionary Samsung NC10 netbook an year ago which sported a marvelous 6-7 hours of battery life.
The higher end Samsung N140 has an Atom N280 processor though. It also has Bluetooth 2.1, 3W stereo speakers and higher capacity 6-cell batteries (5200 or 5900 mAh). Gratifying, I must say. You can get one in white, black or dark blue color. Nothing is known about its pricing.
