Genesi announces the Efika MX ARM-based netbook
Do you want your hands on a Smartbook with an ARM-based chipset to receive, but not as expected, Toshiba or HP, to bring their models in the U.S. feel? Genesi USA has you covered.
The company has launched a mini-notebook with a 10.1 inch display and a 800MHz Freescale i.MX515 ARM Cortex-A8 CPU. The smartbook is Efika MX, and while it might not be the fastest ARM-based chip around, it is powerful enough to handle 720p HD video playback.
The unit has a 1024 x 600 pixel display, 16 GB of storage, WiFi, Bluetooth and an optional 3G modem, and a 1.3 MP camera, SD card reader and microphone and headphone inputs like on Toshiba libretto W105-L251.
The Genesi Efika MX weighs about 2 pounds and measures about 0.8 inches thick. The computer runs on Linux and uses less than 12 watts of electricity. It runs just $ 349, that sounds pretty good … Add to that you get Windows 7 Netbook for about $ 50 less. On the other hand, I have yet to find a Windows-based netbook for that price, that only weighs 2 pounds.
