    m626 amoi blueThe Amoi Blue speaks “Cheap” from the moment you open the box, take out the contents, ditch the manual (which is all in Chinese so you’ve no choice but to ditch it), and use it.

    Feature set is standard. It’s among the first with a Intel Core Duo processor, offers presentable graphics and gigabit LAN, but I won’t waste time in saying my first and lasting impression: it feels, (and therefore is) – cheap.
