Fidelity Electronics Very Personal Computer is very tiny

Fidelity Electronics sells digital picture frames and other electronics. And now the company, like every other company on the face of the earth, is launching a netbook. This one’s not going to tempt anyone away from an Asus Eee PC 1000HE or Dell Inpsiron Mini 10 anytime soon. But if you’re in the market for a cheap laptop with a 7 inch display that weighs just 1.5 pounds, you might want to take a look at the company’s Very Personal Computer. OK, you probably don’t want to… but I’ll tell you a bit more about it anyway.

The netbook has an 800 x 480 pixel display, a 2GB solid state disk, an SD card reader, and a 3 cell battery. It measures 8.4″ x 5.5″ x 1″ and will sell for about $200 in the US starting next month. It’s not clear what kind of CPU the netbook has, but my money is on a 400MHz Xburst processor.

At $99 maybe, at $199 almost certainly not.

Fidelity Electronics…. sounds sort of like a bank that repossessed an electronics company

Going by the pictures in http://www.fidelityelectronics.com/en/home/FINA… (which do not quite correspond to that with this article) it's yet another rebadged Razorbook, and being sold for a typical price for such.

Too little too late in my opinion. My Eee 701 which I still use every day has much better specs than this unit and its almost a year and a half old. With netbook prices already flirting with the $250 range that are SIGNIFICANTLY better why would you buy this? I think if they could get the price to the $139 level and sell it at Wal-Mart and Target there could be a market. Even so, why did they go with that mousepad design with the buttons on the side. Everybody knows that sucks!

As some have said the price is really key here. It is probably a little too “lite” on the features to mark out it own territory.

These are slow…

You can buy current versions cheaper ($160) or £110 for diffrent makes of an equivilent device.

These machines browse slower then a 2003 CE.net 4.2 device with just a strongarm 206Mhz CPU.

Not sure I would be intrested at any price

I just bought this unit for my 8 year old daughter. I thought that it would be a good unit for her to learn how to use a laptop etc. I bought it from Zellers for 150 Canadian. It is a very small unit but I would say it will meet my daughter's needs for now.

Yup this was a waste of my money. This very personal computer compares to a toy you might find in a cereal box-not very useful at all!
