By Mendelson Tiu | Friday | 2008-10-17

NEC wants to have a piece of the ultraportable PC pie with the launch of its new netbook.

The NEC Versa N1100 is only 31.3mm thick, weighs 1.17kg, uses Intel's Atom processor, and comes with 160GB hard drive as well as a gigabyte or RAM. It also runs on Windows XP Home Edition (SP2) just like any other netbooks in the market, but offers a power-off USB charging feature that allows a user to charge digital music even when the notebook is turned off.

The N1100 comes built-in with 802.11b/g wireless LAN, Gigabit LAN, a 0.3-magapixel web camera, and an anti-glare LCD panel to reduce reflection.

The standard glide pad was replaced by NEC in favour of an "NX Pad" that claims to add gesture functions that ‘enable intuitive operations dramatically improving ease of operation.' For example, moving two fingers apart of together on the pad magnifies or reduces the fonts of web pages, while pulling the finger away from the pad moves the mouse pointer to the edge of the screen.
