The EasyPC E102 also has a 10.2 inch, 1024 x 600 pixel display, a 4GB SSD or 160GB hard drive, 256MB to 1GB of RAM, 802.11b/g WiFi, 3 USB ports, Ethernet, headphone and mic jacks, S/PDIF, a 1.3MP webcam and a flash card reader. The laptop has a 3 cell battery that should provide up to 4 hours of run time.
And honestly, no, I don't have any idea what, if any advantages there are to using a RISC-based processor instead of an x86 chip from Intel, VIA, or AMD. But it's still nice to see a it of diversity out there. And it looks like the EasyPC E102 will be cheap. The company expects to sell the laptop to dealers for about $160 a unit when you order a thousand or more, which means it could potentially hit the streets for between $200 and $300.
