The Airis Kira 700 is a 10.2 inch netbook available in Spain for about 299 Euros. What sets this laptop apart from other netbooks isn’t the specs. Most of those are pretty much standard. It’s the fact that you an pick up the laptop without an operating system installed. It’s also available with Windows XP, but that’s hardly a distinguishing feature.

As for the rest of the specs, here’s what you get: 10.2 inch, 1024 x 600 pixel display, Intel Atom N270 CPU, 1GB of RAM, a 160Gb hard drive, 3 USB ports, VGA output, 1.3MP webcam, Etehrnet, Bluetooth, 802.11g WiFI, mic and headphone jacks.

The computer weighs 3.2 pounds, measures 10.2″ x 7.1″ x 0.75″ ~ 1.7″ and has a 4.5 hour battery.

14Ever since MSI introduced its X-Slim thin and light Atom-powered laptops to the world in January and watched as the press compared it to the sleek MacBook Air, companies have been falling over themselves to launch similar thin, light, and underpowered laptops. The latest is the Airis Praxis Slim.

The laptop features a 12 inch, 1366 x 768 pixel display, 1GB of RAM, and a 160GB hard drive. it has a 1.6GHz Intel Atom N270 CPU, 2 USB ports, WiFi, and an HDMI port. Either that HDMI port means that this laptop is going to ship with NVIDIA ION graphics or Airis is just throwing it in to make the computer look more appealing, because your typical Intel Atom processor with GMA 950 graphics can’t handle 1080p video output.

Airis appears poised to be one of the first netbook makers to bring a rebranded version of the ECS G10IL to market. French site Clubic reports that Airis plans to update its netbook line soon. And Clubic has the pictures to prove it.

The G10IL is one of the more exciting Intel Atom-based netbooks due to its attractive design and unusual touchpad with the LED lights built into the mousebuttons. But ECS never planned to push the product under its own name. Instead, companies like Airis and FTEC will sell rebranded versions of the computer.

Airies is no stranger to the netbook space. The company has been pumping out low cost computers for a while now, most powered by the VIA C7-M CPU. The upcoming G10IL will stand out from the earlier models thanks to its Intel Atom CPU, 8.9 inch display and larger keyboard.
