Hmmmm. I just went to microcenter.com and I didn't see anything like you
described. For Winbook, I only see a GL-35 and a TL-35, but neither have
what you describe and both are $899.99. I am familiar with the Winbook and
was an owner of one a few years back. Honestly I will never buy their product
again. Unless they've improved over the years, they were basically a thrown
together foreigner company in Ohio buying cheap Chinese parts and putting
together very cheap laptops. I found this out after I bought a new Winbook
directly from that Ohio company. The power plug adapter inside the computer
first just fell apart one day... along with a few major/minor things only
to have the things rendered worthless within about 2 years. The manufacturer
warranty was only like 90 days (ridiculous) and not to insult anyone but
I am just being honest, the folks at the company where I bought could barely
speak english.
Again, I hope they've improved over the years and I wish you luck... but
personally I think places like walmart have awesome deals on new Acer and
Toshiba... yes they come with Vista... but the prices are really good. Just
bought my wife a new Acer 5920 for a little over $700 (that includes the
3 year replacement plan) and it is loaded, Intel Core 2, 3gb memory, surround
sound, etc etc...

Its a good thing you are just being honest, because I for one would not want
to buy a laptop off an oriental chinaman foreign fella.
