Intel’s Atom processor might be dominating the netbook landscape, but that doesn’t mean there is no room for other players like VIA, having released the Tongfong S30A ultraportable notebook that measures a mere 33mm thin while tipping the scales at 1.4kg. Inside, you will find a 13.3″ display, a built-in DVD burner and 2GB RAM, although the VIA 1.3GHz Nano U2250 processor might not be too suitable for heavy processing work. Still, it works great with the VIA VX800 MSP and discrete S3 Graphics Chrome 435 ULP graphics chipset, turning this into a HD-capable machine. Other features that complete the S30A are :-
- 2.5″ SATA hard-drive
- Wi-Fi connectivity
- 10/100 Ethernet
- 4-in-1 memory card reader
- ExpressCard slot
- HDMI and VGA ports
- Two USB 2.0 ports
You can choose from either Vista or XP Home as the operating system of choice.
