Local computer manufacturer Pioneer Computers reckons they’ve managed to jump ahead of the market today with the release of the Dreambook Style 9008.

It looks like Pioneer wants the record for one of the cheapest notebook on the market. Take a look.

It’s a tad heavier than the EeePC, but the kicker is the options, and there’s lots of them.

Pioneer follows up on its cheap Linux notebook with an even more pants-wettingly cheap $349 DreamBook Light IL2. And it's only 800grams.
