Chinese PC maker Malata’s PC-91008 is a netbook with a 10 inch touchscreen display that can be used in tablet mode. It looks a bit like an oversized version of the Asus Eee PC T91 (including the awkward right-shift key location). But the Malata version has a faster 1.6GHz Intel Atom N270 CPU and GMA 950 graphics.

The netbook weighs 2.6 pounds and has a 3400mAh battery. The base model has 802.11b/g/n WiFi, 1GB of RAM, and a 160GB hard drive and measures 10.4″ x 7.5″ x 1.1″. There are also options for 3G mobile broadband, 2Gb of RAM, and a 250Gb or 320GB hard drive.

The one thing this notebook really has going for it is a relatively low price tag of about $439 with Windows 7 preloaded. That makes it the cheapest 10 inch tablet-style netbook I’ve seen. Unfortunately, it’s only available in China at the moment.
