NEC announced last week it had entered the netbook market, with the release of its 8.9-inch Versa N1100 based on Intel's Atom processor.

The netbook, weighing in at 1.17kg, will run Windows XP. Additional specifications include a 160GB HDD, Wi-Fi (a/g), 1GB DDR2 RAM, a 1,024x600 resolution display and a Webcam. The keyboard on the N1100 is 10 percent smaller than a standard keyboard, while the system comes with a one-year warranty.

Priced at AU$749 (US$517), NEC said the netbook would be available in the middle of November this year. Compared to the diverse range of netbooks now available, NEC's offering is middle of the range in both price and weight.
