The Official England Netbook – the Hi-Grade Notino mL100E Netbook

Which team are you rooting for in the 2010 FIFA World Cup going down in South Africa? If you are like many people in the UK it will be England. Well, luck has it there is a netbook specially designed to let you show the whole world just how patriotic you are. The Hi-Grade Notino Ml100E is the super ultra portable netbook to have which comes embellished with imagery intended to warm the cockles of an ardent England fan.

The netbook was released in an effort to keep up with the World Cup theme set by the Hi-Grade’s new Notino W5900E laptop. While previously seen that themed case designs would more often than not estrange as many people as they would attract them, the Hi-Grade Notino ML100E’s optically arresting decoration possesses rather more panache than the simple England-strip design noted in the W5900E laptop.

At the core of this ‘England Red’ netbook is the 1.66GHz Intel Atom N450 processor which has been the backbone of many a netbooks in the market. Actually, the Hi-Grade Notino mL100E has so much in common with the Samsung N210 and Eee PC 1008P. It further boasts a 10.1” (1024X600 resolutions) which is in line with other 10.1 inch netbooks, 1 GB of DDR2 RAM and a 160 GB Hitachi hard drive.

The netbook further features a couple of USB ports beautifully built into the side, an external VGA port, microphone and headphone sockets. There is a memory card drive slot that allows for extra storage facilities which facilitates the extension of the RAM in Windows 7 Starter. Of course the Operating System is Windows 7 Starter, and connectivity options include 10/100Mb/s Ethernet, WI-Fi, and 802.11n. There is a webcam in place onto the top of the LED display screen.

Perhaps the most unique feature of this netbook is that unlike in most netbooks which have trackpad buttons located beneath the trackpad itself, the official England netbook, which costs circa £ 311.38 inclusive of VAT, has its trackpad buttons located to each side of the trackpad.
