The wild and crazy guys over at Portable Monkey have just got their hands on one of Onkyo's 10.1-inch Sotec C204 netbooks and were cool enough to share thoughts, impressions, and a madcap YouTube video with all of us. Priced at around ¥49,000 ($511), but seen going for less at various online tech purveyors, the gentleman's first impression of this device was, in a word, "great." Smaller and lighter than even the ASUS Eee PC S101, this bad boy seemed to perform as you'd expect an Atom N270-powered, 1GB, Windows XP Home machine should -- even if it does generate more noise than a little guy like this oughta. Curiosity piqued? Make sure you peep the video (after the break) for this life-affirming hands-on event.
No VGA? I though that was pretty standard nowadays for a netbook.
It has one external, but, still. It'd almost more worthwhile to have the external piece a bit larger and just make it a mini docking port.
$511?!
...
LOL!
Onkyo?! That's kinda weird...
Definitly out of left field for them. All of these net books are mostly the same with very little difference, they are all a dime a dozen and practically the same. . So what makes this Onkyo netbook stand out from the rest or is it just another boring clone?
Sotec certainly isn't new, but I didn't know they were affiliated with Onkyo?
That video is starring Murray Hewitt from Flight of the Conchords right?
SOTEC Astronomy?
No more socrets?
sorry, too many socrets
