11.6-inch knockoff netbook with a DVD ROM

I am shock with this netbook that has built with a DVD ROM, and the Shenzhen Manufactures are telling you everything is possible. Nowadays, Netbooks are becoming much more important to computer users, they are portable, sufficient for common users, much more affordable. Would you think this is no longer a netbook and bother to call it a notbook? The additional DVD ROM on the netbook is what make the netbook seems like a notebook, but actually this netbook runs Intel 945GSE chipset, therefore it will not perform like a notebook.

The configuration of the netbook is using the Intel Atom N270, 1GB storage, 160GB hard-disk, 02.11b/g/n wireless, Ethernet and a 3-in-1 card reader. Moreover, the netbook also provided with another option of the configuration and this option includes with 2GB storage and 320GB hard-disk, however this option would cost more. The appearance of this netbook is not too bad, but still far away from a extraordinary look. The screen is using the size of 11.6-inch (1366×768), which offers the greatest display.

The appearance is not the major factor that I am looking for. More importantly, the DVD ROM that builds on the netbook is a lot more remarkable. Undoubtedly, the netbook weight will increase due to a DVD ROM is added.

The place of ports are a bit different to other knockoff netbook, the headphone and microphone input ports are placed on the front of the netbook’s body as well as the SD card slot, 3G port and the power switch.

On the left hand side, there are the DVD ROM, RJ-45 ports and 1 USB port.

There are the power plug, cooler, VGA port and a USB port. Furthermore, the batteries and the hard drive are located on the side of the netbook as well, and you are allow to push or pull the batteries out of the netbook, and this is not likely to have on the other netbooks.

The price of the netbook is depending of what kind of configuration you are going to get on the netbook, if you want a CD ROM version and it will round up to $2000RMB ($290), or if you wish to get a high-end DVD burning type, it will be about $2600RMB ($370).
