Another Atom Netbook Launched, Meet the HannsNote 10

It comes as no surprise now, when a new manufacturer announces its debut in the market for small-sized, low-power computer systems, better known as netbooks. One such example is Hannspree, a company headquartered in Irvine, California that has just announced the launch of its new 10-inch ultra-mobile laptop PC. Priced at US$379.99, the new portable laptop has basically been designed to take advantage of Intel's increasingly popular Atom platform. The system runs on a low-power processor and is focused on delivering a basic computing experience and support for on-the-go Internet browsing.

“We are entering the mini-laptop market with a strong product. The HannsNote offers many benefits to the consumer. This mini-laptop is ideal for business or school use, or for anyone who is always on-the-go because of its ultra-portability and performance. We are very confident not only in the quality and performance of the HannsNote, but also in the service we provide,” said Wynn Yiu, president of Hannspree North America, Inc.

Inside, the 10-inch HannsNote netbook is basically the same as most of the other Intel Atom-based similar products available on the market. The system is powered by a 1.6GHz Atom N270 processor, coupled with 1GB of DDR2 RAM (expandable to 2GB, for increased performance), a 160GB hard drive, 3-in-1 card reader, 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 2.0 wireless connectivity, 10/100 LAN, 1.3MP webcam and built-in mic and stereo speakers.

The netbook has been featured with a 6-cell battery pack and weighs in at 2.9 lbs. According to its manufacturer, the HannsNote 10 Ultra-Mobile Laptop PC will come bundled with Microsoft's Windows XP operating system and a protective sleeve and cleaning cloth, all within a package that is offered for a MSRP of US$379.99.
