There was also 512MB DDR2 memory but no built-in storage. The smartbook actually run on a SD Card of unknown capacity. In addition, there's a 8.9-inch screen capable of displaying 1024x600 pixels. On top of it is a webcam with a microphone on the right. Below it are two speakers.

Other features include Bluetooth 2.0, 802.11g. On one side, there's one USB and one micro USB port, a one-pin power socket, a VGA port as well as a card reader.

On the other side, is a USB port, Line in and speaker out. The back of the laptop is completely devoid of any connectors and there's a couple of blue indicator lights in front.

One thing that users will notice almost immediately is that there's no air vents on this particular smartbook. Because the power dissipation is so low, there's no need for any fans as well, a passive heatsink does the trick. The processor is situated on the left side of the keyboard and is slightly warm to the touch.
