NPX-9000 UMPC is Inexpensive but Underpowered

Linux.com: "The wave of cheap netbooks, mini laptops, or ultra-mobile PCs has crested with the cheapest yet, the NPX-9000 from Carapelli.

Though it was announced in July with great fanfare at a price of £65 (or $110), it has yet to appear on the vendor's Web site.

But we got our hands on one of the first units to escape from the factory and put it through its paces. We found that you get what you pay for -- if that."
