5 Best Practices for Smartphone Support
The Agora Netbooks start at $A499, and like many such devices use an Atom CPU, in this case the 1.60GHz N270. "We're very proud that we are the first company in Australia to crack the $500 barrier for a 10-inch netbook," said founder and director Ruslan Kogan. In line with the company's usual practice, Kogan used its web site to ask customers what features they wanted in a netbook. Other specifications include a 1024 x 600 display, 160G hard drive, a 1.3MP webcam, microphone, Wi-Fi (b/g), Ethernet, three USB 2.0 ports, VGA, and a combo memory card slot. Costing an extra $A40, the PRO variant boosts the RAM from 1G to 2G, adds a USB Bluetooth dongle, and replaces the standard three-cell battery with a six-cell version said to be good for up to six hours use.
