Packard Bell Easynote XS Hardware and Software Specifications

by atticus ~ January 22, 2008

Also based on Via Nanobook UMD reference design, Packard Bell Easynote XS does not seem to attract as much attention as Everex Cloudbook, despite it having been in the market for a few months. Currently selling in a few European and Asian countries, it is priced at around £349.99 or US$700. Some notable differences from Cloudbook is that Easynote XS comes with Windows XP Home, 1 Gig RAM and thumbpad (Synaptics Touchpad).

But does these features warrant a 43% price premium over the Cloudbook?
