The Sylvania GNET31201X6S comes with an integrated web cam and an Intel Atom processor.
Weight
Weighing 2.65 pounds, it’s perfect for those looking to travel light.
Storage
It has a 160 GB hard drive. When you break that down, you’re looking at over 25,000 songs with extra room for movies and games. It has a Serial ATA (SATA) hard drive, which means it has the file-transfer swiftness of a USB or Firewire drive.
Memory
1 GB DDR SDRAM
Processor
The Intel Atom has 47 million transistors in a single 22mm chip. It uses only 2.5 watts of power. Put that next to the 35 watts used by a Core 2 Duo found in most regular sized notebooks, and that’s what we call fantastic battery management. The 1.6 GHz Atom N270 has a front side bus of 533 MHz for much faster data transfer on those hard-driving mobile applications and a 512 KB L2 cache that can store data temporarily.
DVD/CD Drive
There isn’t one, but it has 3 USB ports for external drive usage.
Connectivity
It comes with:
- An integrated 54g wireless LAN that’s compatible with 802.11b and 802.11g networks
- 3 USB 2.0 ports
- A multi-card reader (SD, MMC, SDHC)
- 1 VGA monitor port
- Headphone jack, Microphone jack
- Ethernet port
Screen, AV
A 10 inch screen has 1024 x 600 resolution and up to 262k colors with Intel’s Express Graphics chipset.
Battery
The 6-cell battery can last up to 6 hours. That’s average for netbooks.
Warranty
It’s backed by a 1-year limited warranty for parts and labor.
Pros
The weight. 2.65 lbs. is light.
The storage. 160 GB is nothing to scoff at.

Almost like a cheaper version of the MSI Wind.
