CTL has officially announced their Netbook variant, the 2go PC. Initially the “lightweight, drop-proof computers” will be destined for the hands of elementary and middle schoolers, but CTL was kind enough to let the rest of us know that they will also be available through Amazon. Sadly there was not any mention of when, but on the good news front they will be retailing for as little as $300 and topping out around $500.

Aside from the pricing and Amazon mention the specs are remaining the same as we previously mentioned. The 2go PC will be running either Windows XP or Linux and featuring an Intel Celeron M processor with the Intel 915GMS chipset, a 9-inch display with an 800 x 480 resolution, up to 1GB of RAM, up to a 40GB Seagate drive, Wi-Fi as well as a built-in card reader and webcam and the usual array of ports.
