The fuzzy photos we saw last week on Engadget have now given way to an official announcement about that cute li’l Netbook we were speculating on- it’s actually called the “2go PC”.
The 2go will be manufactured by CTL, and sports the following specs:
- An Intel Celeron M CPU, with a 915GMS chipset
- 512MB of RAM (upgradeable to 1GB)
- A 9-inch, 800 x 480 LCD
- 40GB hard drive
- 802.11b/g
- SD/MMC reader
- Can run either Windows XP or Linux
- A VGA Webcam
- A battery life of approx. 3 hours
- A price tag of around $400
The handy handle on the top creates a visual connection to the OLPC, moreso than the Eee PC itself. This, of course, (coupled with the price tag) makes it obvious that it’s at least partly aimed at the education market.
With specs like these, and a price tag like that, this little number will be definite competition for the Eee PC. I don’t think it looks as nice, but looks aren’t everything. Only the sales numbers will say for sure.
