Marks & Spencer Releasing Their Own Netbook

Tweet

Netbooks are cheap to buy and even cheaper to produce. Given their popularity and the worldwide recession, they’re selling like hotcakes, so needless to say, a ton of companies are jumping into the netbook market. Enter the MSNB-2009,  a netbook being branded and sold by British retail giant Marks & Spencer.

The Marks & Spencer site for the MSNB-2009 is pretty impressive. It features some slick web design, and the Marks & Spencer raves, “This is not just technology… This is M&S web book technology.” While that might lead some to believe that the MSNB-2009 was a powerful super netbook, under the hood, it’s fairly average as far as netbooks go.

For specs, it features an Intel Atom 1.6GHz processor, 1GB of DDR2, Windows XP and a 10″ LCD display, which is par for the course as far as netbooks come. Marks & Spencer will be offering the netbooks in three colors, black, blue and pink. The netbooks are being sold exclusively at Marks & Spencer stores, and will set you back £279 ($451).
