They say, if you don’t have your own netbook brand you don’t exist, and for some reason I tend to believe this allegation, otherwise, how can you explain the joining of Packard Bell to the overcrowded market, with their latest “dot” netbook, which unsuprisingly looks similar to the other gang fellows (particularly the Acer Aspire One), packing an 8.9-inch 1024 x 600 display and the usual Intel Atom N270 processor. Well, don’t think too hard, you’ve guessed it right, it comes with 1GB of RAM, a 6-cell battery, 5-in-1 card reader, a built-in webcam and Windows XP on board. But wait, there’s something exceptional, the new “dot” has a 160GB hard-drive capacity, which is bigger than the average size. Anyway, if this is the lappy that makes it for you, it should be Available in Europe around November, priced at 399 ($580).
