I’m a little on the fence about labeling these laptops as netbooks
but older models of the same form factor have been named as such. Only
this time, they’re all powered by AMD Fusion APU and coming from various
manufacturers such as HP, Lenovo, Asus and Acer.
I think there are many more in the line-up but these are the ones that immediately got my attention.

The E-350 Dual-Core 1.6GHz has a power consumption of just 18watts
(TDP) and that already includes the GPU. It’s a very close match to the
ULV Core i3 with Intel HD.
Basic benchmarks like Windows Experience Index gives the CPU a 3.7
rating but the gaming graphics performance got a 5.6 rating which is
pretty good already.
