Tipping the scales at 1.1kg, the VNB101 is built around an Intel Atom N280 processor and 1GB of RAM. Its 10-inch TFT active matrix LED screen and 160GB hard drive make it a competitor both to existing netbooks as well as many fully fledged notebook PCs.
The unit also makes use of the increasingly popular multi-touch technology which allows users to navigate through menus and web pages simply by using the screen rather than a keyboard or mouse.
In terms of connectivity, the VNB101 has 802.11b/g WiFi, a 10/100 Ethernet port and Bluetooth. There’s also a three-in-one card reader and a 0.3 megapixel web camera. The VNB101 ships with Microsoft Windows XP.
ViewSonic is entering the netbook segment at a time when many vendors are trying to figure out the optimal mix of features, weight and price. The company is hoping its experience in the monitor market will allow it to make a successful leap into PC territory.
According to the company, users will be able to extract 2.5 hours of battery life out of the unit which will have an Australian retail price of $699.
