Delstar DS 700 Windows CE Netbook Sells For $120 On Black Friday

Black Friday is expected to bring a slew of supremely cheap netbook deals to the forefront of many retail windows. The latest example of that trend is Delstar's DS 700 netbook, selling for $120 on KMart after Thanksgiving this year.

The machine is made by Chinese developer Delstar and comes with a 7-inch screen, Windows CE, and an ARM CPU. Windows CE is an unpopular choice for netbooks but in this case it's keeping prices unbelievably low.

The Delstar DS 700 netbook is a bit underpowered but comes with Internet Explorer, a PDF viewer, and support for Microsoft Office files. This could mean the Microsoft Office Mobile package or something similar, considering that Delstar has mentioned a "document creator," "spreadsheet creator," "presentation creator," and "media player".

Here are the specs from WindowsforDevices:

  • Processor — 400MHz Samsung SoC
  • Memory — 128MB of RAM and 2GB of flash storage
  • Display — Seven-inch screen with 800 x 480 pixel resolution
  • Expansion — SD slot
