To round out this series, we have Packard Bell’s EasyNote XS20. Until recently, this was priced at an incredibly high 30K++ at PC Corner - unreasonable given that its sibling, the Astone UMPC, was already retailing at below 10K for some time. Good thing they were able to spot the oversight, otherwise this model would have stayed dusty and unloved in their warehouses.
The EasyNote XS20 is a full-featured laptop with a 7″ screen (800×480) launched last year. It has a built-in WiFi, VGA webcam, stereo speakers, 4-in-1 memory card reader, and two USB 2.0 connectors. The EasyNote has 1GB of RAM and comes with a 30GB hard drive. As for the processor, it runs on an ultra-low power Via C7-M with 1.2 MHz. Battery life is claimed to be over 3 hours with WiFi on.
This mini-notebook is light as expected, tipping the scales at 950 grams. Packard Bell was nice enough to include a protective suede carrying case so you don’t have to worry about scratches. The Linux variant goes for P9,995, while the Windows variant is 2K more expensive.
