There’s a new netbook (or sub-laptop as it’s labelled) in town if you live in the UK, in the form of the PicoBook Pro from Apricot computers, a British company with a long history in computing.

This new Apricot netbook is basically a variant of the Cloudbook and features a VIA processor (a fast, ultra-low voltage 1.2GHz version), an 8.9 inch screen, either Linux or Windows XP as an operating system, 1GB RAM, support for WiMAX, bluetooth and a 60GB hard drive for storage.

The PicoBook will cost £279 for the Linux Version and £328 for the version running Windows XP. It will be available on the 1st of November although, you can preorder it now ready for shipping on the release date.
