Pioneer to ship new 11-inch netbook
Pioneer Computers Australia is about to update its netbook range with the U11 - 11-inches of computing pleasure complete with HDMI!
Jeff Li of Pioneer Computers Australia tells us that the M81 10-inch netbook that's received plent of recent attention will be replaced in March with the all new 11-inch DreamBook Lite U11a.
The spec sheet is pretty much run-of-the-mill with the choice of either an Intel N450 1.66GHz or Intel N470 1.83GHz processor. There's one RAM slot that comes standard with 1GB of DDR2 memory although you can go to 2GB - a good idea as it comes with Windows 7 Starter Edition. There's no word on the capacity of the 2.5-inch hard disk but there are options for Bluetooth, a 1.3MP camera and 3G.
Wireless comms include 802.11b/g/n with wired covered by a regular RJ45 ethernet port. Accompanying the usual complement of VGA and three USB ports is a HDMI output.
