The folks at Notebook Italia spotted two new 10 inch netbooks from Olivetti at a trade show in Milan last week. For the most part, the two machines are pretty much identical. The main difference is that the Olivetti Olibook Net104 has a 6 cell battery while the Olibook M1030 has a 3 cell, 2200mAh battery.
Both machines feature 10 inch, 1024 x 600 pixel displays, Intel Atom N450 processor, 1GB of RAM, 802,11b/g/n WiFi and Bluetooth. Each has a 0.3MP webcam, 3 USB ports, and a VGA output. Both run Windows 7 Starter Edition and weigh about 2.2 pounds, although the M1030 is a bit lighter, due to its lower capacity battery.
The Net104 has a 160GB hard drive, while the M1030 has a 250GB hard drive.
No word on pricing or availability yet, but these new Olibook models look like pretty standard netbook fare, so I wouldn’t expect anything too outrageous in the price department.

hows this gonna compete with any other netbooks out there?
single core atom, extremely short battery life
It’s not intended to compete directly with most netbooks.
