ViewSonic ventures into netbook territory and unveils the VNB101

Sydney, Australia, August 25, 2009 – ViewSonic, global technology provider and renowned worldwide leader of visual display products, has well and truly started the PC ball rolling. Today, ViewSonic has announced the next additions to its recently released personal computing range – the VNB101 netbook.

The VNB101 netbook presents portability and power in a sleek, yet sturdy package. A technology feat that may make ‘professional’ notebooks sweat, ViewSonic has produced the premium VNB101. As a newer player in the PC market, ViewSonic is drawing on its vast experience in the technology industry to create complete computing solutions.

Flaunting a super slim 25mm form and light 1.1kg load, the VNB101 is the elite netbook that cuts a formidable figure. Embellished with IML (In-mould Labeling) surface technology, the VNB101 is extremely durable, resisting scratches and scuffs with a high-shine finish ensuring its colour will always remain vibrant and not fade over time. Under the cover is a vivid 10” wide colour TFT Active Matrix LED-backlit display that dispels less heat making it energy efficient yet lingers brilliantly bright and its frameless screen fits a mass of visual splendour in a neat package.

Beyond its smooth surface the VNB101 incorporates intuitive multi-touch technology allowing users to browse web pages, zoom and rotate images, or jump pages as easily as moving two fingers – no need for point-and-click or text input. The inner recesses of the VNB101 possesses a powerful Intel Atom N280 processor, plus 1GB memory, 160GB and Microsoft Windows XP Home and with its fast 8-second boot up time users can access the internet and go browsing or buying at the click of a button.

The VNB101 also comes equipped with wireless WiFi 802.11 b/g, 10/100 Ethernet and built-in Bluetooth, as well as an ultra-light lithium-polymer battery that boasts a full 2.5 hours battery life without the weight. What’s more, the VNB101 offers trouble-free typing with its 92% standard size keyboard and comes bundled with additional software. The jewel for the jetset, perfect for the professional with panache, the VNB101 provides brains and brawn in a well-designed, sophisticated package.

The ViewSonic VNB101 will be available at Clive Peeters in Australia (Rick Hart in Western Australia) from September 2009. RRP: VNB101, AU$699 inc GST. Specifications attached.
