 sorry my mistake apparently it's supposed to be 1366 x 768 or

 one of the other sites had exactly the same picture and a price in RMB

 i've found _another_ board :)
http://www.techor.com/prod-51.html?lang=en_us same sort of thing, this
time with a proprietary marvell WIFI (which i refuse to get put on),
the only thing is it looks like they missed out the CF interface over
the connector.
