The CTL IL2 PC: Just Another Mini-Notebook

This week (needless to say, this whole year) has been full of mini-notebook arrival news. Some systems, like the MSI Wind, we cannot wait to get our hands on. Others, we’re less excited about. We might just have to add the CTL IL2 PC to that list. The IL2 PC made by CTL, the same manufacturer of the 2go PC, will have a 7-inch display, VIA chipset, integrated Wi-Fi, and a 40GB hard drive. Seems like a Eee PC clone to me. See below for the quick specs:

• CPU: 1-GHz VIA C7-M
• RAM: 1GB DDR2 Standard
• Display: 7-inch LCD, 800 x 480
• Storage: 40GB 1.8″ HDD
• Two USB 2.0 ports, 3-in-1 (SD/MMC/MS) memory card reader, VGA, Ethernet, modem, headphone, mic
• Wi-Fi 802.11b/g
• Size: 9.6 x 6.8 x 1.7 inches
• Weight: <2.7 pounds
• 4-cell Li-ion Battery (up to 4 hours typical usage time)
• OS: Microsoft Windows XP, Linux

While we’re waiting on the official price from CTL, we don’t think it a stretch to expect something in the $399 range.
