Here’s something to cheer up the computer geeks! Guangzhou Skytone Transmission Technologies Co. at Guangzhou in southern China is aiming to present to you ‘The Alpha 680’, the first netbook computer. According to the co-founder of the company, Nixon Wu, the final prototypes of the Alpha 680 is currently in its final stage and will be available in the market by June at just $250.

The Alpha 680 is easy to carry and you can perhaps fit it inside your purse or a shoulder bag. It has a 7-in. LCD screen at 800 by 480 pixels, 128MB of DDR2 RAM, which is expandable to 256 MB. There is also a 1GB solid-state disk (SSD) drive (expandable to 4 GB, though users can also add storage through the SD card or two USB ports).

The Alpha 680 is using an ARM11 CPU running at 533 MHz. It also has a built-in Wi-Fi, keyboard and touch pad. Besides, you can also play YouTube Icl’s Flash encoded videos with good clarity. The features definitely look very bright and promising. Come June and I shall buy one for myself.
