Here's another example of a company breaking into the netbook segment of the portable PC market. Kogan is famous for cheap, online-only AV products (mostly TVs) but has recently introduced the Agora Netbook.
Many companies tend to enter the segment with something unique, but that doesn't really seem to be the case with Kogan. The Agora netbook has a 10.1″ screen display with 1024×600 resolution, is powered by a 1.6GHz Intel Atom N270 processor, has an Intel GMA 950 graphics chipset and a 160 GB hard drive – pretty typical specs for a netbook.
At least Kogan can boast about equipping their netbooks with Linux, if that's even something to boast about. The netbook uses gOS, which is a Google-heavy Ubuntu port, and many of the applications included with the machine live in the Google Cloud. The six-celled battery that comes with the netbook is also angled at a good degree that's comfortable for users to type at and the keyboard size is reasonable.
