Here is something that I haven't written about in a few days and, to tell you the truth... was looking forward to another few days without having to write about another such device. Yes, I know that the cheerful tone gave it away: I have a new netbook to introduce to you. But not just any netbook, my friends: one that comes with the same specifications like all the other netbooks on the market (wait... that is exactly “just any netbook”) but (Ok, maybe I was wrong) comes with a six-cell battery that allows for up to six hours of computing (Ok, I wasn't).

Specifications page incoming, prepare your tomatoes and rotten apples because, trust me, my friends, you ain't gonna like it! The netbook has a 10-inch 1024x600 pixel display, an Intel Atom N270 processor (yep, not even dual-core, can you believe it?), 1GB of internal memory (I'd bet my salary we're talking DDR2), as well as a three-in-one card reader and a hard drive sizing... yes... come on... say it: 160GB. Now that we have the boring details out of the way... let us head towards a head-on collision with... new boring details.

Well, the device seems to also come with built-in 802.11 b/g wireless connectivity, a VGA output port, three USB ports and a two-button touchpad but the creme de la creme, the cherry on top, the coup de grace... is the six-cell battery. Too little? Definitely? Too less? Just a matter of semantics. The MSRP is set at 399USD.

“To meet the needs of our 30 million customers, we are pleased to offer a range of mobile products that take digital experiences on the road,” said Jeff Volpe, vice president and general manager of ViewSonic Americas. “With the addition of the VNB102 ViewBook, we are confident that we have the right solution for our customers, whether it’s an all-in-one PC or PC Mini for at home computing, or an ultra-portable netbook for mobile computing needs.”
