After it was hurriedly and poorly announced only yesterday, the Atom N470 has been found to be powering a new convertible touch netbook from Gigabyte. This netvertible belongs to the ToucNote series and is called the T1000. <Insert obligatory Terminator joke here>. No relationship to a superintelligent A.I. network called SkyNet has been found. We are looking into the matter. Read on for specs.
Being an Atom N470 powered device, this netbook packs in 1.8GHz of processing power. The touchscreen measures 10.1inch and can display 1366X768 pixels. There’s a CPU choice between the older Atom N450 and the latest N470. There are two separate models that will be offered — the T1000X and the T1000P.
The difference is in the battery. Where the T1000X will have a 4-cell 4500mAh battery, the T1000P will have a 6-cell 7650mAh battery, meaning the second one will last longer unplugged. 1GB of RAM, 25Gb of HDD storage and Intel GMA graphics support is standard on both models. Same goes for WiFI b/g/n, 10/100 Ethernet and Bluetooth 2.1 with EDR.
In ports you will get only two USB 2.0, one USB/eSATA combo, the usual audio I/O’s, VGA out, multi-format card reader and an ExpressCard slot. That last one might actually seal the deal for some people who really miss this slot on netbooks. There’s also a 1.3 megapixel camera and an inbuilt microphone.
Overall, this seems to be a nice package. Too nice to be a cheap netbook actually. More news is expected at CeBit 2010. Stay tuned!
