 The CT-PC89E is a low-cost netbook with an 8.9in 1024x600 screen, weighing only 720 grammes (0.72kg). In size it's ''approximately'' 23.5 x 16.5 x 2.5 cm (9.25 x 6.5 x 1 in). Its 667mhz Samsung S3C6410 embedded ARM CPU is on a factory-upgradeable SO-DIMM which also has, in the standard low-cost option, 256mb of RAM and 2gb of NAND Flash.  The rest of the features are pretty much "standard" fare for a low-cost netbook: 2x USB2, stereo speakers, microphone, SD-Card slot, headphone and microphone sockets, and 802.11 WIFI. A low-cost (0.3mp) built-in Webcam is available as an option ($USD 2 for a 20,000 units order).  To further save on cost, there is a micro VGA output, but by default the IC to enable it is again optional (again,  $USD 2 for a 20,000 order).  Also, the design has two internal USB2-capable (only) PCI-express slots, which can take 50x30mm PCI-e cards.  One is occupied with the RALink RT2070 WIFI, whilst the other is designed to take a 3G or an EDGE modem: there is even a slot for a SIM card (next to the SD card slot).
