Packard Bell introduces the dot netbook

Why hello there.. is that a “dot” that I see you carrying? Yes.. above is the newly announced Packard Bell “dot” netbook – an 8.9 inch system that Packard Bell claims is the first netbook “specifically designed for consumers.” (yes I’m laughing at this too) The reasons why it thinks this way?

It’s the first netbook that fits easily in a handbag (Umm.. my Aspire One fits into a handbag)
It’s the first netbook that can be entrusted with a child on a school trip.. (umm.. they could take the Eee PC or Aspire One… or Dell Inspiron Mini 9.. etc etc)
It fits nicely between a notebook and a PDA.. (um.. that would be the definition of a netbook.. not the dot please)
It’s more comfortable than a smartphone (yeah I’d say all netbooks are more comfortable than a smartphone)..

So as you can see.. the dot was indeed specifically designed for consumers! Ha.. ok ok.. enough ridicule.. here are the specs to the Packard Bell dot.
