For those who still remember the oddly named Jisus Netbook from Van Der Led and for those who actually bought and like it, you will be glad to know that the said netbook has a new model simply called the Jisus 3. Now, what so special about this new Jisus model is the fact that it has finally joined the Atom-powered netbook bandwagon.

Aside from the Atom CPU, Jisus 3 also now comes with a 4400mAh battery which simply means that you'd probably get more usage time from its power. The Jisus V3 retails for around $596.

And here's a rundown of the Jisus V3 specs:

• 1.6GHz Intel Atom CPU
• 10.2 inch, (1024 x 600) display
• 1GB RAM
• 80GB HDD
• Windows XP Home or Windows Vista OS
• 802.11b/g, Ethernet, Bluetooth
• 0.3MP webcam
