Stone Neo 101 drops into the netbook pond, doesn’t cause a ripple
We haven’t heard much from Stone since it fulfilled its destiny and bought Rock Computers last year, but it looks like the company is now finally having a go at a netbook of its own, and blending right in with the masses with its just-announced Neo 101 model. As you can no doubt guess, this one packs a standard issue 10.1-inch 1,024 x 600 display and an unspecified Atom processor, along with built-in WiFi and optional 3G, a pair of USB ports and, somewhat notably, an ExpressCard slot for a bit of expansion. You’ll also get a slightly better than usual three-year warranty, which apparently doesn’t add much of a premium to the netbook’s £275 price tag (or about $400). Look for this one to be available in the UK starting May 1st.
