Not high marks - but cheap as!


The Sylvania Gnet 13001 is a re-hashed, re-positioned version of a netbook, once called a NanoBook, which was first available almost three years ago. Sales were confined to South East Asia but now it's available on Amazon and eBay for around $200, according to RateNetbooks.

"We have to be clear, that this laptop impresses in virtually no way other than the price. It is running a lightweight, non Windows OS and still features relatively poor performance."

That may sound harsh but it's fair. It is after all running a VIA C7-M processor, not the snappy power efficient VIA Nano. But $200 for some people makes this almost a consumable item or a toy for a child's present.
