 It looks like Packard Bell is making a comeback. The 14-inch EASYNOTE GN45-017 notebook sports an Intel Core 2 Duo T5500 processor, 512MB DDR2 RAM, 80GB HDD and an integrated 1.3MP webcam. Priced at S$1,598, this notebook is highly competitive but only comes with Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition SP2.
