14 DAY TRIAL // Early this week, Gigabyte has announced that it will be showcasing some new netbooks, part of the company's lineup of small-sized portable computer systems, at the CeBIT computer show in Hanover, Germany, which will start next week. It now appears that the very first photos of the new netbooks have already made their way on the Internet, giving us a glimpse of what to expect from Gigabyte's booth at CeBIT 2009.
The photos of these three new systems have been added by Engadget Chinese, which were hands-on with the new systems. As you can see for yourselves, the difference between these three is rather noticeable, as the Touch Note T1028 will come out in a tablet form, while the Thin Note S1024 has been designed so that it will provide its users with a slimmer form factor. The Booktop M1022 will boast a rather familiar design, as far as netbooks are concerned.
As regards technical specifications, the new systems will boast pretty much the same specs as you would normally expect from a netbook. This includes a choice for a 1.66GHz Intel Atom N280 processor or the 1.6GHz N270 model, 1GB of RAM and a 160GB hard drive. There will be some minor differences between the three, as far as technical specifications are concerned. The three will join Gigabyte's M1028 netbook, which has been unveiled at MWC in Barcelona, earlier this month.
Users should also expect some other specifications, like built-in WiFi, Bluetooth, ExpressCard slot, SD card reader and integrated 1.3MP webcam. One of the most interesting features that will be available for all three models is the 6-cell battery option, which should provide users with a decent battery life. Unfortunately, details regarding the pricing and availability of these netbooks are yet to emerge, but when they'll be available, Gigabyte's netbooks will be powered by a Windows XP Home operating system.
