Viewsonic's entry-level VNB100 netbook shown on video

Viewsonic wasn't playing around with its latest outlay of wares, and while the intriguing Atom-powered VNB100 is dangerously similar in name to the VNB101, there's actually a good bit of difference between the two. Across the way, the good guys and gals over at NetbookNews have managed to score some hands-on time with the former, and while it's labeled the outfit's budget model, it still packs an ExpressCard slot, a built-in 3G modem and a red paint job that's sure to catch a few eyeballs. Hop on past the break for a video showcase, but don't expect to hear a North American price or release date.

Seems like the tech industry is starting to form quite the netbook bubble. Let's hope it doesn't end up like the last bubble that engulfed the housing/lending industry!

It isn't a bubble when people are actually buying them, sales of netbooks are expected to double this year and that's a conservative estimate. They are of course stealing many of these sales from laptops.

i'm getting sick of the atom. how about a ULV C2D?

the boredom!

OHMYGAWD, the friggin mouse buttons match the rest of the friggin thing, isn't that just friggin amazing.

[misterfuzz Posted Jul 26th 2009 4:31PM]

it does look quite nice for a netbook, though. Expresscard is always nice to have. Although, I hope it will be available with a real 6-cell battery, and the funky layout might take a little getting used to.

geez, why do u post about these things? they are all the same. Atom, 1 gig RAM, 160 gb hd blah blah blah. is the computer industry totally at a loss for new ideas?

[SlaterGS Posted Jul 26th 2009 4:56PM]

I don't mind hearing about them if there is anything different or particularly interesting about one, but I agree for the most part. I guess it is Sunday though, so nothing to post about apparently.

[dirthurts Posted Jul 26th 2009 4:48PM]

I did the yellow one though.

[fourthletter Posted Jul 26th 2009 4:52PM]

Is that colour salmon ? ick!

[(Unverified) Posted Jul 26th 2009 8:36PM]

No, it's actually hot pink, but the light was a bit off so it looks a bit odd in the video...

[(Unverified) Posted Jul 26th 2009 11:22PM]

the colors look dazzling. i hope the plasticky feel won't make this netbook cheapskate.

i hope that they'd make a 6cell battery as a standard SKU.

Not enough LED status lights.

What do you mean it's not coming to N.A.? We need more Netbook choices desperately [not!].
