Olivetti shows off new netbooks in Italy

The folks at Notebook Italia spotted two new 10 inch netbooks from Olivetti at a trade show in Milan last week. For the most part, the two machines are pretty much identical. The main difference is that the Olivetti Olibook Net104 has a 6 cell battery while the Olibook M1030 has a 3 cell, 2200mAh battery.

Both machines feature 10 inch, 1024 x 600 pixel displays, Intel Atom N450 processor, 1GB of RAM, 802,11b/g/n WiFi and Bluetooth. Each has a 0.3MP webcam, 3 USB ports, and a VGA output. Both run Windows 7 Starter Edition and weigh about 2.2 pounds, although the M1030 is a bit lighter, due to its lower capacity battery.

The Net104 has a 160GB hard drive, while the M1030 has a 250GB hard drive.

No word on pricing or availability yet, but these new Olibook models look like pretty standard netbook fare, so I wouldn't expect anything too outrageous in the price department.
