Packard Bell has launched the 12-inch EasyNote BG48, the first of three new limited edition models of the notebook.Following the apparent success of similar limited editions in time for Christmas last year, the three new notebooks are the 12-inch EasyNote BG48, the 13-inch EasyNote RS66 and the 17-inch EasyNote ST86.
With a "sensual" design, the EasyNote BG48 is described as a "sweet choice" for "tech chic" buyers.

Standard features of the new notebook are a 12.1-inch Diamond View display, Intel integrated graphics, the latest Intel Centrino 2 processor technology, a 4-in-1 card reader, built-in Wi-Fi and Ethernet and a 1.3-megapixel webcam.
