However, for the connection, this netbook be calculated tolerable. At least, users can surfing in the hot spot area with the strength of the connection 3 G. So, what causes netbook Guangzhou assembly Skytone Transmission Technologies Co. Cheaper that this can be?

In fact, the computer is cheaper to make because the network operating system called Android. Google operating system creation can be obtained for free aka open sources, such as Linux. The system is free, the price producers can in netbook-in. Because, charges for the operating system usually takes up to 50% of the cost of a laptop production. “This is a common,” said Budi Raharjo,

Google itself is not without solid reason when Android launches. By using free Linux platform, Google hopes to compete with Microsoft. This is what makes Skytone with full confidence produces bloody mini laptop This android. Know the origin, Skytone is one of 33 companies with Google that build and develop Android. Some computer vendors are directly big class
