DailyTech notes Gigabyte’s M912V packs a wealth of features into their 8.9″ Atom-powered tablet.
It runs Microsoft Vista Home operating system and its screen swivels 180 degrees to lie flat on top of the keyboard for writing on the screen. The display also features a respectable resolution of 1280×768 and is LED-backlit for better battery life, increased visibility, and a thinner panel.
It features a 1.6GHZ Intel Atom processor, 1GB of DDR2 memory, a 160GB SATA HDD, 802.11b/g wireless, Bluetooth, and a 1.3MP webcam. Ports on the M912V include three USB 2.0 ports, VGA port, 56k modem, NIC, an ExpressCard slot, and an internal expansion slot for HSDPA. It weighs only 2.86 pounds and has a small price tag to boot — $699.
It’s due later this month. By that time, the competition should be heating up with the arrival of the MSI Wind ($499) and the Eee PC 901/1001 ($649).
