Sony Vaio P Knockoff with a Touchscreen

This is a netbook with a 8-inch display, which is called A802, and is manufactured by a Shenzhen Brand called “Malata“. From its appearance, I can easily recognize the design is quite similar as Sony’s Vaio P. The most remarkable feature on this knock-off is the 8-inch touchscreen (1024×600). Yup, you heard me, it’s a touch screen.

Due to the small size of the notebook, you don’t see a touchpad on it, same as the Vaio P. It only gives you 2 USB ports and a RJ-45 port. VGA output is not available but you get a built-in card reader in return. To our surprise, it only weighs 970g with a 3-Cell battery. The machine is powered by Intel Atom N270 processor, GMA 950 graphics, 1GB DDR2 RAM and 16GB SSD! Moreover, it is equipped with 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi, pre-loaded with Windows 7 Home Basic. All of these cost you $3999 RMB (about $588), does the touchscreen worth to eat up your money?
