Aside from the WiMAX support, this is a standard run of the mill NC10 netbook, with a 10.2 inch, 1024 x 600 pixel display, a 1.6GHz Intel Atom N270 CPU, 1GB of RAM, and a 160GB hard drive.

In Soviet Russia, Wimax Netbook’s surf you.
I was trying so hard not to make that my headline. 🙂
That’s great. In my opinion, more netbooks should have some sort of mobile broadband connectivity. After all, netbooks are ultra mobile devices and you often take them to place where there is no WiFi.
Wow. For an extra $150 dollars you get wimax and government sponsored spyware. Surf carefully.
