Velocity Micro NoteMagix GT 10″ Netbook
- The GT has a 10.1″ screen.
- It has only a 4 cell battery, and not a 6 cell like the GX.

Velocity Micro Qbook 130 10″ Netbook
- The QBook 130 is available for pre-order at $369.99.
- It has only a 3 cell battery which should make for 2.5 or so hrs of battery life.
- It comes with a soft sleeve.
- Weighs in at 2.4 pounds.
- Intel Atom N270 processor, 160GB hard drive, 1GB premium memory, 3-in-1 media reader, B+G Wifi, and Windows XP Home Edition.
At this point, there’s not enough information for me to make much of an assessment. The hard drive is pretty decent sized, and I have no idea what ‘1 GB of premium memory’ means. The 6 cell battery makes the GX a good choice.
The 1 year customer support is an interesting twist, as is the ‘Trademark expert boutique build’. Also, Don’t understand the difference between the Q130 model and the GT model, and why they are the same price given the Q130 seems to have a smaller battery. I do like their price points.
