The Litebook laptop is powered by an Intel Quad-Core processor coupled with 4GB LPDDR3 RAM. Although it has a 512GB HDD, users also have the option of a 32GB SSD (Solid State Drive). The laptop features integrated 802.11n Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.0 connectivity.
It comes with two USB 3.0 ports, an HDMI port, an RJ-45 Ethernet port, an audio jack, a Micro SD XDHC, a 720p HD webcam, and stereo speakers. Best of all, the Litebook includes a battery that lasts up to 9 hours. It comes in black, white, and red and weighs just 1.3 pounds.
The price of the computer starts at just 234 euros. Shipping costs depend on your location, and you can also get it from the company's official website.
