OCZ introduces Neutrino Netbook
OCZ Technology has made its entry into the over-saturated netbook market by introducing OCZ Neutrino. After nine weeks this device will be made available in the US and will come in two variations. The first model is “DIY” (do it yourself) model and it will allow the consumer to select the RAM and HDD.
Second variation is the one where you will have to bear with the standard specifications, which are not bad at all. Here are the standard specs:
- 10.1-inch screen
- 1.6GHz Intel Atom CPU
- 2GB of RAM
- Optional 250GB OCZ SSD
- 1,024×600 resolutio display
- Ethernet
- Wi-Fi
- 1.3 megapixel webcam
- 4-cell battery
- Ubuntu or XP
However the 4-cell battery has capacity of just 2200mAh, which is not going to give you great battery life at all. I figure, this would give you a maximum of 2 hours of battery life. Also, I was expecting a better design from OCZ. That said, it is still a nice thing to see netbooks coming pre-configured with Ubuntu OS.

Just benchmarked the 1002HA that I received yesterday. Here are the results. I’ve compared it to its more expensive sibling: EEE S101 (review), which uses 16GB SSD instead of HDD.

Now, here are the results of Crystalmark on 1002HA:
