Three Thumbs Up

The highlights:

  • 1600 x 768, LED backlit 8-inch ultra-wide display (diagonal)
  • weighs just 1.4 pounds and is small enough to slip into a jacket pocket
  • built-in wireless WAN 3G Mobile Broadband, 802.11n wi-fi and Bluetooth
  • real-time GPS functionality
  • pricing starts at about $900
  • available in February

Some of the Technical Specifications:

  • Intel Processor @ 1.33 Ghz
  • 2GB RAM
  • 128 GB SSD
  • 8″ XBRITE-ECO Display @ 1600×768
  • Mobile Intel GMA500 Graphics
  • 2 USB, 1 Memory Stick Duo, 1 SD
  • Windows Vista Home Premium

It’s OS is Vista.  Not a big fan, but for the functionality, we can forgive them if it works well.  The screen resolution alone on this thing is incredible. Read more
