Interesting. One would think at $50 it would be worth grabbing one and hacking it to do more productive tasks. Sylvania 7" Netbook.
I guess all storage is using a USB flashdisk (not included)?
For less then $50 I can pick up a nice old full notebook.
This Sylvania Laptop is a Complete SCAM, with 128mb you won't be able to do anything,if you play youtube videos lags is only good for Browsing internet ,My choice is to buy one from Craigslist P4 for $70 and it runs 10 Times Faster or if you or if you like Touchscreen try the new EPAD Tablet for China 1ghz ,512mb you can stream Youtube videos fast and Search online at reliable speed for less than $100
Tablets are what is shutting down the netbook market, not so much phones. Ultra books are way too expensive, not the same market.Netbooks are like the old stand alone portable DVD players. Those devices were cool when most laptops could not play DVD's, but once every laptop could play DVDs you didnt need a stand alone player. Netbooks will die off when phones get larger screens (already happening) and we get much better ultra portable laptops (happening as well).
Same with Polaroid, we all remember them for photography equipment. And now cheap TVs and other electronics have their name on it. Anything to try to make some money. The original Westinghouse is wayyyyy long gone from this practice.I find it funny, I think of Sylvania and light bulbs, not electronics.
Well that ought to browse with Epiphany. I'd buy it for $20 (even $30 if it was red) but it appears that they are asking $99. What were they thinking?The newer models marketed as "Smartbooks" have 512MB of RAM and better CPUs but only cost $5.00 more than the 128MB model. Still not exactly useful but much nicer.
I think I agree with the above. I have a netbook (an 11.6" Samsung, quite lightweight). But I also have an Asus Transformer Prime Android tablet, of the type which can be used with just the tablet part, or attached to a proper keyboard (not the rubber-thingy that I see my sister use with her iPad). With a keyboard this thing looks like a netbook, it folds together the same way, but it's much more lightweight. Keyboard has all keys you would expect, including arrow keys, and a touchpad. I have one of those Scottevests with a pocket made for an iPad, the Prime fits nicely into there. So does the Samsung netbook, but it's heavier. And the Prime tablet does everything I need really. It's insanely useful. In practice I only ever bring my netbook along as a kind of travelling disk.. it's got several hundred gigs of space where I can dump my camera pictures while travelling (RAW takes a lot of space), while the Prime only has 32GB internal flash. Mind, that's fine for dumping just JPEG pictures. (I could actually bring my 1TB USB disk instead of the notebook though.. the Prime can use it just fine.)Tablets are what is shutting down the netbook market, not so much phones. Ultra books are way too expensive, not the same market.
