Bing Netbook Runs GreenMaraschino For 5 Hours
- 1 Comment
There’s a netbook maker out there with a taste for the red carpet. Its name is CherryPal, and it will be patrolling the Sundance Film Festival in Utah to hawk the new Bing netbook to celebrities.
What?
As far as strange marketing schemes go, this has certainly got to be the weirdest. Whoever thought Sundance was a good arena for new technology might have gotten lost on the way to Las Vegas. Regardless, the Bing netbook merits some attention.
Bing is a 10.2-inch widescreen netbook, running the Intel Atom chip for up to five hours at a time. It claims to be the most efficient netbook on the market today.
It runs the Linux-based GreenMaraschino OS, a good choice for low-powered netbooking. It will also arrive in a GreenMaraschino-tinged Windows XP version.
CherryPal is giving out the Bing netbook at Sundance in a bundle with their C114 CherryPal Desktop PC at only $399. The machine sounds cool, but I still can’t help but scratch my head.
