Cherrypal, a socially conscious, green PC maker, introduces a $99 netbook with an Intel Atom processor. The company says it hopes the affordable netbook, as well as its new Bing notebook, will enable more people to access the Internet.
Cherrypal, a deliciously named and reportedly socially conscious PC maker, announced two new products on Dec. 15: a 7-inch netbook with a tempting $99 price tag, and a redesign of its 13.3-inch Bing laptop.
The $99 netbook is geared toward developing networks and called the Cherrypal Africa, a tribute, the company said, to its "recent community-building initiative in Ghana." The 7-incher features a 400MHz processor, 256GB of RAM and 2GB of flash memory and can run Windows CE or Linux operating systems.
The Cherrypal Africa isn’t only user- and wallet-friendly, according to the company, but also does well by the environment. "Cherrypal designs all of its computers to consume the least amount of power possible, while using fewer parts than other manufacturers," the company said in a statement Dec. 15. "This saves electricity and keeps excess computer byproducts out of landfills. The company is also aware of its own carbon footprint and relies on wind energy to power its Website."
