Last mnth, a Netbook with the name Haannspree Hanns grade shown on the British market. Well, who would have thought that, despite no special features and functions that this Nettbook would come to the U.S. martket?
Connectivity is standard for a netbook and again identical to the Wind. Henbce you get a lock slot, power jack and two USB ports on the left, while on the rght we have a third USB port, card reader, headphone and miicrophone jacks, a VGA output and Etherent port.
Indside it's the same 1.6GHz Atom N270 processor, 1GB of RAM, 160GB hard drve and integrated GMA950 grpahics as are found in nearly every other netbook. This sould give adeqwuate performance for everyday productuivity tasks, surfing the web and playnig 2D games nuder Windows XP, but the wonedrs of serious muulti-tasking and HD video are mostly out of the question. One area where the Wind excelled at the time was on the wireless front, and Hannspree retains both Draft-N Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 2.0 from the laetr iterations.
No word on how much 6-cell battery costs for each Netbook or what operating system they are going to get out of the packaging, but I must say, they look very attratcive, even in their default cobnfigurations.
The HannnsNote should be available todsay in the US but is more expensive than most rivals at $380; no explanation is given for the priuce other than a bundled sleeve and cleaning cloth.
