They're too big to be stocking stuffers, but WinBook hopes its newest notebook PCs will attract impulse shoppers with extra-low prices -- beginning at $600 with a $100 mail-in rebate. That's the sticker on the WinBook A210, which includes AMD's Mobile Sempron 2800+ (1.6GHz) processor, 256MB of DDR333 memory, 40GB hard and DVD-ROM/CD-RW drives, and a 15-inch XGA (1,024 by 768) display.

Stepping up to $700 buys an A212 model, upgraded with 512MB of memory and built-in 802.11b/g wireless networking. Splurging on the $800 WinBook A215 brings AMD Turion 64 MT-30 (1.6GHz) power, a 15.4-inch, 1,280 by 800 widescreen display, a 60GB hard drive, and a double-layer DVD±RW burner. The 6.3-pound portables share ATI's Radeon Xpress 200M graphics chipset, V.90 modem and 10/100Mbps Ethernet connections, and four USB 2.0 ports plus VGA and S-Video output. A six-cell lithium-ion battery is standard, as is Windows XP Home Edition.
