OCZ Neutrino launches
MASTER OF MNEMONICS, OCZ Technology, is bringing DIY to the Netbook market (sorta) with its new 10-inch Neutrino netbook.
The minute notebook uses an Intel Atom N270 processor, chugging away at 1.6GHz, plugged into a 945GSE chipset and uses a 10-inch 1024x600 display. It does have a single PCI-Express mini slot available, microphone and 1.3MP webcam included. The four-cell battery battery sounds pretty standard too. What OCZ does is give you the chance to configure memory and storage options.
It'll look something like this:
Calling a system DIY when all you can do is choose the amount of RAM and HDD used is stretching it a bit. Quite frankly, aesthetics aside, when it comes to specifications Atom-based netbooks are identical twins. With the OCZ DIY Neutrino netbook you are offered the opportunity to use OCZ's own kit inside the Neutrino, ie: RAM and SSDs.
The super fly-weight Atom netbook will still look like a duck, walk like a duck and quack like a duck, but it'll get its memory and storage from a swan. µ

They're all the same. Just by having nifty OCZ logo on the case instead of something like "EeePC" in ugly font might be worth it. Now they need to get the N280 models out. Wish it would be VIA+Ion2, though.
Some low-clocked, single core 40nm AMD goodness with the excellent 780G would be a two chip solution far more powerful while taking it easy on the battery life.
C'mon AMD, put in an order at TSMC.
They could build you a athlon/phenom at 40nm, no?
