Clevo's TN70M touchscreen little 7-inch UMPC / netbook has just made its way to the UK, and UMPC Portal's gotten its hands on some shots of the little guy. The netbook boasts a 1.33GHz Intel Atom Z520 CPU, a full QWERTY keyboard, a webcam, and a fingerprint reader, and is available with either XP or Vista operating systems. Clevo -- a company better known for its hulking gaming rigs -- has been pretty mum on whether the TN70M willl make its way to other shores as of yet, but it's retailing for about $520, and we'll keep our eyes peeled for you. There's one more shot after the break!

Woah, the '90s want their laptop design back!
It appears we've come full circle.
where's the 5¼" drive?
You know the design isnt that great but its simple and cheap. What else would you need?
Id love to see a performance video though.....
the design will find its lovers, but it isn't cheap
$520 for 7" in 2009!
Look at the size of that bezel. They could have fitted a 9" screen in that lid.
What gripes me about that is they couldve added a few more buttons...... Hell they couldve added a trackpad there as well.....
Well, I suppose it'd be a useful place for sticking Post-its.
Haha nice.....
That thing reminds me of my old Comodore 64
To me, it looks extremely cheap built...! And I cannot imagine working with such a small display!
*coughit'sanetbookcough*
Tim Cook agrees....
“When I look at netbooks, I see cramped keyboards, terrible software, junky hardware, very small screens. It’s just not a good consumer experience and not something we would put the Mac brand on. It’s a segment we would not choose to play in.”
So what else is new. 2009 is the new 1994 for netbook lovers out there.
And again, the term "ugly shit for over $500" gets redefined!
Im usualy very permissive about pc design... PC are made for work and are under the desk. This one disturb me though... I would not want anyone to see me with that!
got a chance to toy with one of those about 3 months ago and the keyboard is wayyy too small
kinda retro
Radioshack catalogue, p.4, December 1995.
LOL @ the retro comment. Yes this is my Dad's laptop from 1994 or so. The design is bad enough, but really? $520? I want some of what they're smoking.
i think it'd be pretty awesome it it didnt stick out the back. why is $520 so bad? the fujitsu u8XXs started at about double that.
That is one of the ugliest laptops i have ever seen.
Did Sir Clive design this thing? Ugh!
BEIGE!!!! IT BURNSSSS!!!
