Yesterday we mentioned that word had leaked out about the upcoming netbook from Sylvania for $299. I heard from the horse’s mouth that the $299 price is their target but has not been confirmed yet. I also got the real specs (click to enlarge) from Sylvania about the G:

Looks pretty sweet I must say.

Yesterday, I thought it looked somewhat like the Wind. Today, it’s just FUGLY. 1GB max RAM?! Joke? And no weight listed! $299 would be ironic, considering the Cloudbook-like one is well above that in price at J&R!

Just from reading the specs I was just thinking that it may be a good deal, but after looking at the thing, it definitely looked like it was hit with the ugly stick.

Looking at those specs, I’m not entirely sure what the difference between these and the Dell E is.

Looks like great value to me if it will be at $299! Ugly or not.
