I'm selling a Chinese netbook which used to belong to my brother (not sure what brand it is?). It has Windows CE 6.0 installed (It also works with various versions of Android). It's in used condition so therefore does have some marks/scratches to the glossy lid.

These are the specs:

*300Mhz WM8505 CPU (based on VIA ARM920 and is also known as VT8505)
*128Mb DDR RAM
*2GB internal NAND flash storage
*7" WVGA screen with 800x480 resolution
*3 x USB ports
*1 x RJ45 Ethernet LAN port
*1 x SD card slot
*1 x Headphone port
*1 x Mic port
*Integrated stereo speakers
*9V DC input

I have no use for it... It might be good to mess around/experiment with, but don't expect it to do more than web browsing and maybe NES/GB emulation. I'll also throw in a 2GB memory card :thumbsup:

The following parts need attention as they are faulty:

*Headphone port - this is loose and cuts out, so probably needs replacing or resoldering.
*DC input port - this is also loose and the netbook will not charge without lots of 'wiggling'. the port either needs replacing or resoldering.
*SD card slot - the spring has gone so you need to remove the SD card with a pair of tweezers (or something similar)... It still reads SD cards perfectly fine though :thumbsup:

**This is a Chinese device and therefore came with a Chinese mains adapter/charger (standard UK voltage but uses 2 pins instead of 3)... My brother superglued a UK 3-pin travel adapter to it :roll:**

I did start a thread on it here: https://www.amibay.com/showthread.php?p=253072#post253072

Selling for £15 which includes UK p&p :cool:


(My crappy camera couldn't pick up the netbooks sharp display quality... These photos don't do it justice!)

If this doesn't go through, I am also interested.

edit:-
Just adding that I have not sent a PM either as I didn't want to complicate things as I don't know how things were going. I will send a PM now just to confirm my interest in this item should thomas_red decide to pass on it.

I've uploaded some pics... My camera is a bit crap so sorry about the poor quality. The display on this netbook is nice and sharp although my camera couldn't quite capture that :dry:

Declaring interest. PM on way

I've not received a PM yet... Maybe try again? :thumbsup:
 
Netbook has now been sold to thomas_red, just going out to post it now :)
 
That's good news and fast responses, there is nothing worse that when you see some sales that drag on for a long time, spot on M8's :thumbsup:
 
Any news on this? It was posted out 2 weeks ago and i'm hoping it arrived safely!
