French site MobileHub has gotten its hands on another Eee competitor rip-off — the Airis’ Kira 740 (aka, Kira 100) — and has given it the rundown. The initial impressions are about what you’d expect, besides coming with XP onboard, having 1GB of memory, a VIA C7 1GHz CPU, and a traditional 40GB hard drive, the mini-laptop is nearly identical to ASUS’ entry. The screen resolution is the same 800 x 480, the keyboard is apparently a shot-for-shot

remake, and it features familiar ethernet and WiFi networking options. You can see in the photo above that there are some minor physical differences, though in our opinion they’ve somehow managed to ugly it up + 30 percent. For €299 (or around $466) you can get yourself a Kira 740 sometime soon. Yay.
