VIA C7 beats in the heart of rhinestone netbook
It's a netbook with a heart
The ferociously creative Shanzai developers in China are at it again and this time they’ve outcuted themselves.
Courtesy of Shanzai.com, this photo shows an adorable, yet functional handbag that is actually a netbook complete with an X86 processor (either a VIA C7 or Intel Atom).
As you know, VIA is a yearly sponsor of Lunch at Piero’s and every year surprises us with the tiny yet highly functional devices using their VIA X86 processor or ARM processors from the company’s WonderMedia division.
This rhinestone encrusted handbag cum netbook houses a screen, keyboard, 1Gb of RAM, a 160GB hard drive and offers WiFi and Ethernet connectivity. Add a little spending money, a credit card and a driver’s license sparingly, because it does not look like there’s much room for bulk inside.
The price is $300. Over the top you might say, but I’ll be there’s a pair of Jimmy Choos or Stuart Weizmans that will match this bag perfectly and make its price seem like pocket change in comparison.
