The Packard Bell EasyNote XS20 didn’t get much attention during the last quarter of of 2007. It was supposed to be a contender to the first generation 7″ Asus Eee PC.

What’s surprising that it didn’t seem to have dropped a cent since it came out — it’s still stuck at Php32,999. That’s about 3 times the current price of the rest in the 7-inch line-up.

Packard Bell EasyNote XS20
7″ display screen (800×480 pixels)
1.2GHz VIA C7-M
30GB HDD
1GB RAM (up to 2GB)
WiFi 802.11 b/g
0.3MP webcam
4-in-1 card reader
2 x USB 2.0
0.95kg
2.5 – 3.3 hours battery life
Windows XP Home Edition

The specs are well within the range of the Astone UMPC, Deep Blue H1 and Asus Eee PC and we’ve all seen these dropped to a price range of Php10,000. I don’t think Packard Bell will be selling any of them EasyNotes at that number {via PC Corner}.

Update: Looks like PC Corner immediately changed the price of the Easynote to Php9,995 the day I blogged about this.
