Archos 13 packs netbook specs into a 13 inch laptop

Archos is a company better known for making portable media players than notebooks. but the company has put out a couple of Intel Atom powered netbooks over the last few years. The latest notebook from Archos is a bit bigger, but it still uses netbook-like components.

The Archos 13 features a 13.3 inch, 1366 x 768 pixel display and an Intel Atom processor. But it does stand out from the netbook crowd a bit by using a dual core Intel Atom D510 processor. That chip is usually reserved for desktops rather than laptops.

The notebook has 1GB of DDR2 of RAM, a 160GB hard drive, 802.1b/g/n WiFi, Bluetooth 2.0, and a 6 cell battery. It has a VGA port, but no HDMI. The laptop weighs about 3.5 pounds. The Archos 13 runs Windows 7 Starter Edition.

The Archos is available in France for €399.98 or about $485 US.

It looks like it is thin. Thin would make it portable. A low price would make it appealling.

If this product is a success we could well see other OEMs coming up with their 12+ inch models.

Netbooks are growing, so I believe if the costs can be kept down, people would not mind carrying a lite device on their bag packs.

80% of the computer users never use their hardware to the fullest so if its light on the wallet and lite on the bag, people are going to LIKE IT!!

Does anyone want a 13.3″ with netbook specs when you can get a UL30, Acer 3810, or other for just a little bit more?

So is Intel removing restrictions on using Atom processors with larger screens? I noticed Zareason is selling an 11.6 inch model.

I don't know about the size restrictions, but I do know that that laptop has a fullsize keyboard which removes the annoyance netbooks usually bring.
