Chie Netbook Goes Out in the UK for $142

Reading about the Chie Netbook makes me feel nostalgic about my very first netbook, the Eee PC 700  I mean, just by looking at the specs of the Chie Netbook especially its 7-inch TFT display makes me wanna scream – Eee PC 700!

But unfortunately it is not. The Chie Netbook which has been making the rounds in the Asian market has finally arrived in the U.K. And boy is it dirt cheap at around $142!

Anyway, I'm not really sure whether a 7-inch netbook will still be attractive to consumers, especially with the influx of more powerful and bigger netbooks.

In case you're interested, here's the full specs of the Chie Netbook.

  • VIA VT8500 CPU
  • 7-inch TFT High Clear Digital Screen (800×480)
  • 128MB RAM
  • 250GB portable external HDD and 128MB to 16GB SD/MMC Card
  • Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g
  • USB Ports
  • 4 hours battery life
  • Windows CE 6.0 OS

You can grab one here.
