10-inch VIA-powered netbook costing $185 – made in China

Meet Phecda PHV102, a 10-inch netbook powered by VIA C7 processor. Here is a quick glance at its specs:

Chipset: VIA VX855 1.6GHz
RAM: 1GB DDR2
HDD: 160GB
Display: 10.2”, 1024 x 600 resolution
Battery: 3-cell 220mAh
Weight: 1.2kg
Ports: 3xUSB, VGA, LAN, card reader

The VIA C7 was used in the 1st generation netbooks like HP Mini 2133, whose performance was disappointing as it came with Vista. This machine runs XP and we know it very well that XP runs pretty decent on VIA C7 CPU.

But, we must confess that we despise that little right shift key.
