Sheng T108 Netbook Revealed

Tweet

Enter the Sheng T108, a Chinese netbook that features a slick (dare I say – Apple like?) brushed aluminum body. Since most netbooks in the market feature bland glossy plastic, something like this really stands out. Under the hood, the T108 is fairly regular, although it doesn’t appear to be shipping outside of China anytime soon.

The Sheng T108 has a 10-inch display, Intel Atom N280 processor (no Pine Trail, unfortunately), 2GB of DDR2 RAM, and a 250GB hard drive. All-in-all, a pretty common netbook setup. The T108 also sports WiFi, a webcam and 3G connectivity.

Reports on the internet report that the T108 is a ‘Shanzhai’ product, which is a Chinese term for low-quality products that copy the design and appearance of a better known Western product, with the T108 copying the brushed aluminum look of the HP Mini 2133. The T108 may be a Shanzhai product, but it’s internal stats are nothing to laugh at. The T108 is reportedly selling for about the equivalent of $300 in China, and don’t expect to see it outside of China anytime soon.
