Meet the Macbook Air clone – GB X1200

At a trade fair in China, a Chinese company is displaying a netbook that looks a lot like Macbook Air (to some extent). You will find an 12.1-inch screen with 1280 x 800 pixel display on this unit. Its touchpad has a single large button below it. That is where the similarities ends.

From inside, it is just another netbook as it comes with an 1.6GHz Intel Atom N270 CPU, 1GB of RAM, and a 160GB HDD. It runs Windows XP, has 2 USB ports and a 1.3MP webcam.

Sharp Mebius PC-Sharp Mebius PC-NJ70A has a display on its Trackpad!

The Sharp Mebius PC-NJ70A is a mini-laptop/netbook that comes with an 10-inch screen display resolution, 1024 x 600 display and 1.6GHz Intel Atom N270 CPU, which is generally found in an average netbook. But, in this new Sharp netbook, you will find something extra-ordinary, not found in any netbooks: a 4-inch, 854 x 480 pixel touchscreen display instead of a trackpad.

It works like a standard touchpad and also as a secondary display. Price is not at all netbook-ish. This netbook will cost you over $1000!

Unfortunately, it has a tiny shift key on the right side of keyboard which might give you problem while typing. The PC-NJ70A also ships with Windows 7 Home Basic instead of Windows XP. So, even though you are spending $1000, you get a basic version! It does not make sense at all

GNB 7-inch Netbook runs Google Android

GNB is showing off a 7-inch screen netbook running Google Android OS. It comes with a small keyboard that is hard to type-on. That is due to the small overall size of the GNB netbook. Even the touchpad is small and has left and right click buttons on the either side of the netbook. Battery life is good for only about 2.5 hours.

Features:-

• 533MHz Freescale ARM processor
• Android OS
• 800 x 480 pixel 7-inch touchscreen
• Non-Glossy display
• 256MB RAM
• 8GB SSD
• 3 USB ports
• 680 grams

No word on pricing yet. This is just a little bigger than the Fujitsu U2010 UMPC, which comes with a tiny 5.6-inch touchscreen and runs Windows Vista
