Jolicloud Jolibook Official Press Photos Now Available (2 Sizes?)
Up until now, there's only been a set of little-to-see teaser images of this little lady, but now there's official press shots of the 10.1 inch netbook being released through Flickr. It's a cute little bugger with a lovely cartoony top and – what's that? One of these backs appears to be bigger than the other. If you take a look at the laptop with the bigger battery, you'll notice that an ever-so-slightly amount of the edges of the picture are bent around the left and right sides or gone, where on the non-giant-battery image shows more. Two different sizes?
This lovely little laptop (or couple or laptops) will feature a 250GB harddrive and dual core an Atom N550 CPU. It'll be running Jolicloud 1.1 and will have preloaded Chromium* (* The open source version of Google Chrome), Facebook, Spotify, VLC, Skype, and "a bunch of cool apps that are one clock away." Sounds neato! Take a look at the gallery below to see the rest of the images.
