Workhorse Certeza MC10

Workhorse Certeza MC10

The Netbook comes straight from Texas, although I bet it is not produced. Anyway, Workhorse PC is in McKinney, Texas, and since this Netbook comes from them, here is the standard features, although the system is configurable online:

Operating System: Ubuntu Linux, Windows XP, or Windows Vista
CPU: Intel Atom N270 with 945GSE
Display/Resolution: 10.1 inches/1024 x 600
Memory: Up to 2GB
Card Slots: ExpressCard, 4-in-1 card reader
1.3 megapixel Webcam
Wireless: 802.11b/g, Bluetooth, WiMax, and WLAN (Sprint, Verizon Wireless, and AT&T)
Size: 10.0 x 7.3 x 0.75 inches
Weight: 2.9 pounds

Well, I think you were not with the Linux and Windows versions have the same price, because this is not the truth, even if I have some Asus Eee PC models the same price, and the Linux version with more memory and or storage than the Windows counterpart.

Despite the fact there’s no page yet ready, Jill Henson, Workhorse PC’s Vice President, said the certeza MC10 will be $399 for a Linux version, $ 449 for XP Home, up to $ 549 for a Vista Business version. The price could also be affected by your choice of a 4-cell or 6-cell battery, but probably not too much.
