Packard Bell launched its new EasyNote XS, a 7-inch notebook during the last SITEX 2007, which combines advanced portability with a full featured PC running Windows XP Home Edition (+2K).

Designed to be your everyday mobile companion, it is the perfect choice for mobile users that find full-sized notebooks too big and PDAs too limited. I really love my Packard Bell XS as it fits beautifully into my handbag and is extremely light and portable to carry around everywhere. I also own a PDA but find it too small to work on. My Packard Bell XS has all the functionalities of a notebook – it just happens to be very small. Joanne Wee, Sales Manager

XS = Xtra Smart

The EasyNote XS is ideal for a wide range of mobile applications. The built-in Wi-Fi and VGA webcam make it perfect for video chat. The cleverly positioned touchpad and buttons make it easy to use the EasyNote XS on the move, no matter where you are! The stereo speakers mean users are never without their favorite music. The build-in 4-in-1 memory card reader makes it easy to download photos from a digital camera or share music. And thanks to the two USB 2.0 connectors, it is easy to add peripherals such as external storage devices, optical disc drives and printers

XS = Xtra Strong

The EasyNote XS is the perfect balance of functionality, connectivity and portability. The EasyNote XS also features up to 2048Mb of RAM and 30Gb hard drive. It runs the same full version of Windows XP Home Edition as a desktop PC does. This means the user has access to a full computing, entertainment and internet experience. The ultra-low power consumption of VIA Ultra Mobile Platform gives the Packard Bell XS extra-long battery life – over 3 hours with Wi-Fi on.

XS = Xtra Small

Slim and sleek the Packard Bell EasyNote XS tips the scales at under a kilo (950 grams) and is not much bigger than a paperback book and fits perfectly into a ladies handbag. To protect it from nicks and scrapes it comes with a stylish, protective suede carrying case. Although it is small, it does not skimp on user comfort; it comes with a full-size keyboard and 7-inch display.

The Packard Bell EasyNote XS notebook is now available at SITEX at a promotional price of PhP 9,995.00 (black), protective case included.
