The Apricot Picobook Pro is the first product of the reformed Apricot Computers. It is a netbook based on the VIANanoBook, first shown to the press on October 15 2008.
Ports: On the left, VGA DE-15 and one USB 2.0 port. On the right, a second USB port, Kensington Security Slot, 8P8C and power supply. In the front, two minijack (mic/ear) and 4 in 1 Card-reader. Open, integrated Webcam of 1.3 megapixels over the TFT, keyboard and touchpad at bottom.
The Apricot was very poorly received. A review by PC Pro in 2009 awarded it two stars, the worst marks of the notebooks on test in the categories of build quality, speaker quality, keyboard and cursor quality, and screen quality, and advised readers to avoid it at all costs.[1] A "first look" review by IT Pro in 2008 also awarded it two stars, calling it unattractive, with a dubious build quality, and all but impossible to type on.[2]
