Intrigued by the AllWinner A10 processor, but don’t think an HDMI stick PC is quite what you’re looking for? Maybe the H6 Netbook is more your speed. It features a 10.1 display, 4GB of internal storage, and 1GB of RAM — but it’s the A10 processor that makes the H6 stand out from the crowd.
Here are the specs of this ARM netbook.♦ CPU – AllWinner A10 @ 1.0GHz (Cortex A8;) with Mali 400 GPU

This device supports the usually videos (AVI/MOV/MP4/RMVB/FLV/MKV…) and audio (MP3/WMA/WAV/APE/AAC/FLAC/OGG) formats supported by AllWinner processor. Google Play is pre-installed and Skype is said to work as well.
Since it’s based on AllWinner A10, you’ll certainly be able to run Linux on this device, however I’ve noticed that 1024×600 resolution can be a problem on Ubuntu with some inaccessible buttons on some pop-up windows. The battery has a low capacity and I’d rather have around 10 hours battery life for an ARM netbook.
It sells for $140 on
Pandawill including shipping, which is a fairly decent price as 10″ tablets based on Allwinner A10 start at around $130 on Chinese websites. [Update: I found an A10 Netbook with similar specs that sells for $99.5 + shipping on Aliexpress. For example, the total cost to Thailand is $116.49 via China Post. I could not find anything about the battery capacity however.
