Internal Max Resolution - 1024 x 768 at 24-bit (16.7M colors)

That kind of hurts it for me; aside from that, its a pretty good notebook.

I recently got a C240. It came with a defective LCD. The unit was replaced immediately.

I can say that the customer service of Winbook is more helpful and personal than Dell or HP (and they are in Ohio).

The unit itself is decent.
Thin, and works well.
It is one of the lowest price 512 MB Centrino notebook.


But, the battery hardly lasts 3 hours.

It came with a total of 512 Ram.
Including the 256 MB on-board RAM.
On top of that you can add maximum of 512 into the single slot (which is occupied with a 256 already)
It will give you total of 768 MB if you need to expand.
So, Ram expansion is limited.

Neither did I...
I knew them building first notebooks in 90s.
I guess, they kept small and survived.
