Yet another netbook has hit the market this week with The Stone Group's launch of the Stone Neo 101.

The UK-based manufacturer is hoping its mini-notebook offering will set itself apart from the rest of the market with a 3-year guarantee, apparently a first.

Powered by an Intel Atom processor and running Windows XP, the 1.3kg 10.1-inch netbook offers a 90% of full size keyboard and a widescreen WSVGA (1024 x 600) display.

Features include a 160GB hard drive, 1GB RAM, integrated Wi-Fi, 1.3-megapixel webcam, two USB ports, a 34mm PCI-Express Card expansion slot, a 4-cell battery and the option of 3G.

The Stone Neo 101 will be available from 1 May priced at £275 plus VAT, which should work out at around £316.
