Hello Alexander,

thank you very much for your response.

Hmm, that is a pity.

Does this mean, in real this is not an Intel CPU? I saw these notebooks from 
several different sellers, and all are telling the same. Do they all lie? (Well 
it might be possible)

Yes, but this would be ok for me. My old fellow, an Asus EEEPC 1008 has got 
1024x600 which was ok for me. But now over the years, it got rather slow and 
it is 32-bit, too. So I am looking for a successor. For basic network analysis 
I could use a tablet (which I am also using) with "termux" and a bluetotth 
keyboard. 

But I would like to use an Inetl compatible cpu, as all my wanted stuff is 
running on this.  And it shall  be small. 13 inch and bigger I already own, so 
these small things awoke my attention.

Yes, I see.

Hmm, overpriced, you say. Do you mean, "overpriced" even when the the tellings 
are true (CPU, RAM-size, hardrive-size and so on)?

Hmm, well, here in Germany is a very good reseller for "normal" notebooks. I 
can get a 12 inch Dell notebook with 8GB RAM and a 512GB drive for under 100 
Bucks (about 99 €uro). This with 2 year guarantee. The notebook is of cource 
refurbished. I know this seller for many years and he can be trusted and has a 
well service. If I do not find a smaller notebook for about 300 €, I will buy 
this one.

It is a pity, my hope was another statement than yours. 

However, thank you very much for your help and the time you took! It helped a 
lot!

Best regards

Hans
