Inside the Alpha400 (Elonex ONE, Razorbook, HiVision)

One photo shows the Alpha 400 with the bezel and keyboard removed, and another shows the other side of the motherboard.

The square black blob of course is the CPU chip. On it one can see the logo of Ingenic Semiconductor Co.,Ltd., the Chinese maker of the XBurst 32-bit MIPS processor that is the basis of the 400-Mhz mini-laptops -- a whole new category of small, cheap computers.

The board also bears the label SKYTONE, for Guangzhou Skytone Transmission Technology, Co., Ltd.
