The first netbook with standard batteries
By
Simple is unlikely to provide its NETBOOK again with juice. From the distant Thailand will soon hit a Netbook, the underside of leaves awaken nostalgic feelings. For the gecko Edubook has actually a old-fashioned-sounding pocket for AA batteries, as we know it yet by the Walkman.
But in practice it is always: Does not go to a normal charger for netbook battery, also extends the barrel from the nearest kiosk.
Possible because of theextremely low power consumption of the new netbooks Company NorhTec. In the heart of one Edubook XCore86 sits processor at a clock output of one gigahertz just 1.2 watts needed electricity. In addition, the small companion does not require a ventilator, which again will save some power.
The search for a serious power supply will be on the Gecko Edubook Ebenfall vain, because this is housed in the housing so that the netbook more easily fit into the backpack.Delivered is the netbook with Ubuntu Linux Remix, but it should also be compatible with Windows XP.
The other specifications of this device, however NorhTec netbooks are very similar to the first generation: a small 8.9 inch display with LED backlight and a resolution of 1024 x 600 pixels.
In addition, future owners can choose between a memory from 256 megabytes to one gigabyte of DDR2 RAM and a standard-2 ,5-inch hard drive or a fastSD flash card – the memory size is unfortunately not yet known. With batteries, it creates the Edubook least four to six hours of operating time. Alternatively, it can also be ordered with a Li-ion battery, which presumes a half times as long, but will also cost significantly more. Despite the lack of nostalgia factor might be worth it anyway because the Edubook will cost less than $ 200.
NorhTec announced its battery-operated netbook for July 2009.First, it will only be available through the manufacturer – if and when the Edubook is also reflected in German stores still stands in the stars.
