new form factor, an impressive battery life rating of up to 11 hours, plus enhanced performance and
features for greater ease of use.
“Our first netbook in the U.S. market stood out from the competition because we fixed what was

Impact Sensor that guards data from the daily bumps of mobile life and a USB port with Sleep-and-
