Ergo Electronics’ GoNote GNT 10 is a budget netbook packed with high-price functionality. The netbook features a touchscreen, an HDMI port, a full QWERTY keyboard with touchpad and a 0.3 megapixel VGA webcam.
As its name suggests, the GoNote GNT 10 has a 10-inch screen. The netbook is powered by Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) and has full access to the Google app store. Inside there’s 1 GB of DDR3 memory and 8GB of solid state storage with microSD expansion. Users will also have access to up to 5GB of cloud storage provided by Box.com. A netbook with a touchscreen would seem to be a pricey piece of tech, but Ergo Electronics’ is selling the GoNote for a mere $236. That’s the good news; the bad news is that it won’t be sold outside of Ireland and Britain.
