Is there one?

Not yet, but maybe this spring? Who knows...

Not much is known about it AFAIK. Most people (me included) seems to assume it's based on the 5121e chip from Freescale, in other words the "LimeBook" (or rather "LimePC") in some incarnation (of which you can search on morphzone.org (a couple of years back) for some additional info).

There are some threads on amigaworld from approximately October 2011.

As indicated by takemehomegrandma, not much is known.  There has been some rumours and speculation.  Two people confirmed that there is a working system, but more work is required for drivers, etc.

Since Netbooks are *all about SoC's*, the Key Information would be the CPU.

And in the PPC architecture (OS4 isn't about to change CPU architecture, right?), a "netbook" (that is *already existing*) could only mean the MPC5121e CPU, and the only Netbook kind of platform built on this, is the LimePC. It does come under different brands though, like that South African thing, or cherrypal (but that was a NetTop/Cloud Computer), but it's still is a LimePC though (again: Search MorphZone.org for "LimePC" for more info)...

Maybe it is a netbook with the PA-semi emulated in Intel Atom dual CPU architecture.


Maybe it's all about...

...LASERS...
