Viewsonic, which is better known for its LCD computer monitors, is set to launch a range of netbooks and notebooks in China according to industry sources in Taiwan. The Viewsonic VieBook netbook was shown during at CES in January, it is not known whether this model will launch in China or whether a new range of models are planned. However, it has been confirmed that a whopping 22-inch notebook model is planned exclusively for the Chinese market. It’s hard to imagine the notebook being that mobile!
