CES 2009: Coby Intros Netbook

cobynetbook.gif

Coby has never really been known as a manufacturer of high-end electronics. Heck, they sell the company’s products at my local bodega–not behind the counter. Until my trip around the CES showroom floor tonight, I had always associated the company almost exclusively with low-end MP3 players. Turns out Coby is in the notebook business, too.

The NBPC892 is Coby’s entry into the netbook space. The computer features an 8.9-inch screen, an Intel Atom N270 processor, and a surprisingly roomy 160-500GB hard drive. The netbook runs either XP or Linux, features 1GB to 2GB of RAM, and has a built-in 1.3-megapixel camera.

All in all, I’d wait for a review before rushing out and picking one up at your neighborhood 7-11.
