Confusing: iiView 2 or MacBook Air?
Posted by: Maria Mihale in Gadgets
I can’t decide whether it’s flattering or frustrating when some unknown company decides to create “from scratch†a product that is so very similar to one of yours, one you’ve dedicated to so many hours of work and efforts. Some say it’s flattering, because this is what we’re taught imitation means. However, allow me to be reserved.
Anyway, to give you an example, let me tell you about iiView A2, created by iView, a Singapore-based company, which is the very image of a very popular netbook that’s impossible for you to not know, especially if you read this type of blog: the Apple MacBook Air.
iiView A2 is a very sleek minilaptop that is based on the Atom CPU and comes with a 12.1 inch display, which is pretty generous.
As for the specifications, here you have a relevant list, to help you make a first impression: Atom 1.6GHz processor, Intel 945 chipset, a 12.1 inch display with a resolution of 1,280 x 800 pixels, 2GB RAM, 320GB HDD, 802.11b/g, 10/100 Ethernet, two USB ports, mini-HDMI port, 2-in-1 headphone/mic jack, a six-cell battery and Windows 7 RC1 support with Vista Home Premium license.
The iiView A1 is expected to become available in Singapore starting the following days and the price is said to be $467.78.
