Description

The listing, 7" Customized Android Netbook - Barely Used! has ended.

I recently obtained this ADORABLE, COMPACT netbook about 4 months ago...and then hubby got me a Kindle Fire for Valentine's Day :-) In addition, I also have two desktops and a laptop so keeping this cute-as-a-button unit was just too redundant!

The model number is X13-12056 and I customized it with a really pretty 'butterfly' skin with also protective skins that match on the inside keyboard and cover. I then flashed the drive from its Windows Embedded CE 6.0 Core to Android V1.5.2 (which could most likely be upgraded to the latest version of Android since it has done very well with this version: no crashing, and runs pretty speedy after startup.

I flashed the drive to Android simply because I didn't care for the lack of apps available for WinCE and was delighted when it worked and I was able to shop in the AppStore on Amazon, etc. YAY!

It has a decent small keyboard to work with and here are the rest of the specs:

The Netbook is highly portable and compact in its design, with good performance, adaptability and robustness. You’ll be able to surf the web wherever you go by using built in Wifi or plugging in an Ethernet cable. Three USB inputs provide plenty of connections for peripheral devices. Enjoy the freedom and mobility of the 7” Netbook. It is ideal for business people on the go, students, children and home users. You can surf the net, send emails, instant messaging, study, compose documents, manage accounts and spreadsheets, view PowerPoint presentations and lots of other work. You can watch movies and listen to music on the SD card or the Flash Drive.

Questions & Comments

More Info: It WILL NOT play YouTube videos for some crazy reason but DOES go to Listia just fine.

Great auction!! I will be watching this. Thank you for listing!! :)

Thanks for watching! It's a great little unit and looks cute :-) Guys can peel the skins off (which kind of feel like linen cloth) and the unit itself is black (very shiny) with the keyboard as shown in the photo with silver.

Very Neat Laptop! You were Great with all the details! Although I am still trying to understand all the computer technology. LOL Still in the stoneage here! Does it play online games Such as Wizard 101 well? Asking because it would be shared with my son. I know some of the laptop's that I have seen listed the seller will state that that sometimes their item won't play online games very well so I just wanted to ask. Thanks!

Feb 29th, 2012 at 7:44:42 AM PST by

The best way to explain it is that these units are similar to like, Iphones, for example. They use the mobile versions of websites and, unfortunately, often cannot play certain online/web games.

Remember: anything "Windows-based" is not going to run on this and you cannot 'import' setups from cd or anything else onto to make it do it. It wouldn't even do that on its original Windows CE version. The Android OS (which is on it now) WILL give you much better options to find other similar games....or games just as fun.

Feb 29th, 2012 at 1:53:51 PM PST by

It's cute. I fanned you and am watching.

Mar 14th, 2012 at 3:06:50 AM PDT by

Thanks!

Mar 14th, 2012 at 9:21:48 AM PDT by

Just wondering...You say you can watch movies online with this until. Why then can't you watch youtube videos ?

Mar 5th, 2012 at 11:18:19 AM PST by

You can watch movies and listen to music on the SD card or the Flash Drive as stated in the description. In other words, it won't 'stream' them.

Mar 5th, 2012 at 1:27:43 PM PST by

Sorry I meant unit :)

Mar 5th, 2012 at 11:23:44 AM PST by

That's okay! Thanks for coming by and asking!

Mar 5th, 2012 at 1:29:30 PM PST by

Also does it have a place to put Cd's in so I can download my camera software ?

Mar 5th, 2012 at 11:25:08 AM PST by

No CD drive and Android apps ONLY. This is a NETBOOK, not a laptop. Please refer to the description and comments.

Mar 5th, 2012 at 1:28:59 PM PST by

oh wow that butterfly design is just gorgeous :) fanned you

Mar 8th, 2012 at 7:42:59 AM PST by

It really is and it FEELS like linen cloth. It's really nice. Thanks for your comment!

Mar 8th, 2012 at 12:41:17 PM PST by

Reason why it won't play Youtube videos is because I don't believe android supports flash. If there's a youtube app on the android store, I'm sure that's a way around.

Sorry if I missed it but -- is the flash disc space expandable?

Mar 8th, 2012 at 5:59:13 PM PST by

Yeah, I think you're right about flash not getting along with Android. I'll bet, too, there's a way around it. I just haven't fooled with it; I'll let the new owner do that :-)

You know, I'm not sure if the flash disc space at 1GB is expandable. I DO know it handles any size sd card and usb drive I toss at it :-)

Mar 8th, 2012 at 6:12:02 PM PST by

Ah I see, thanks for the info and thanks ago for the quick response.

Mar 8th, 2012 at 6:15:28 PM PST by

You're so welcome and thanks for such a great comment and question!

Mar 8th, 2012 at 6:22:47 PM PST by

Very interesting and nice auction! F+W!!

Mar 8th, 2012 at 9:48:24 PM PST by

Thank you!

I don't know anything about a Android Netbook. I have been looking at a Kindle how does this compare?

Mar 12th, 2012 at 4:03:23 PM PDT by

Wow, that's a loaded question because they're the same yet different. I would say there may be more apps on this unless you get a Kindle Fire---and at that, with mine, I've been limited to the Kindle App store (which is basically Android for Kindle). They both really do about the same thing, including reading Kindle books ("there's an app for that!"). I just haven't gone messing anymore because I would let the new owner start from where it's at now and upgrade to Android 2 (which will run on it---see specs).

Fanned and watching please fan me back thanks

Mar 14th, 2012 at 9:22:30 AM PDT by

Is there a camera on this?

Mar 2nd, 2012 at 4:07:24 PM PST by

I answered that question early on when I listed it: NO, no camera but a usb webcam can be used with it.

I sure hope I win this. I'm tired of buying things that don't work well. :( ps. this is cute.

Mar 19th, 2012 at 11:14:44 PM PDT by

Oh, I hear ya on that one. I spent over 33,000 credits on a seal-a-meal thing I really needed with all the dehydrating I do. I did 5 bags and then it stopped sealing. I tried to appeal to the seller who was going to try a fix on the web...but I'd already gone through them all. I'm afraid after trying to be nice about it, I'm going to have to dispute it. That's a LOT of credits, like this will be, and I certainly wouldn't want MY things back! Yikes!

Mar 20th, 2012 at 2:10:35 AM PDT by

Nice auction and good luck with your higher credits. :)

Mar 20th, 2012 at 7:49:11 AM PDT by

Thanks!

Okay, I found a GORGEOUS, black leather case that not only works well for any gender, but it's padded and has an outside pocket on one side to store your sd cards (if you have more than one), power adapter, etc.

Now, where it really gets awesome is the other side 'pocket' actually opens up into the inner 'box' area and folds down. You can secure the netbook with the velcro straps inside and, because it comes down like a mini desk with triangular sides, you'd have a 'mat' under it.

In other words, the case is like it was made for this size-wise and with exactly what a traveler would like with being able to work on the system inside it's "desk/case!"

It also has the metal loops to secure a shoulder strap or you can use its own handle. I'd post pics but I no longer can edit the listing because it's so close to ending.

Mar 20th, 2012 at 2:10:25 PM PDT by

was this new when you bought or was it used before when you bought? thanks

Mar 1st, 2012 at 6:34:09 AM PST by

New although I don't have the original box or paperwork because it was a gift.

Mar 1st, 2012 at 8:03:33 PM PST by

I know someone will ask: NO, there is no built-in camera but it will see a usb webcam :-)

Feb 28th, 2012 at 4:31:29 PM PST by

The only app I installed from the AppStore was the free 'flashlight' app to make sure it "took" okay. Other apps you would need to load yourself (and it's fun shopping for them, let me tell you!).

Feb 28th, 2012 at 5:07:24 PM PST by

This unit CAN also be converted to Linux. From my own research, Puppy Linux seems to be the best. I do know that either Android or Linux are MUCH, MUCH better operating systems vs. WinCE---you have a lot more flexibility with free, public apps.

Watching,here i go again,waitin for the count down,smiles
