14 DAY TRIAL // The Federal Communications Commission just got to look at yet another mobile electronic, this once a member of Gigabyte's Netvertible product line.
Netvertible is a play on convertible tablet, the words used to described those laptops whose screens can rotate and allow for switching from a notebook to a tablet form factor, and vice versa.
The T1006 is one such device, with a screen size of 10.1 inches and featuring one of Intel's Cedar Trail central processing units.
In other words, it gets most of its might from one of Intel's new Atom central processor, though which one exactly is unclear.
At least the integrated graphics are clearly disclosed: Intel GMA (graphics media accelerator) 3650.
The rest of the feature set is well enough exposed as well, from the type of LCD (liquid crystal display) to the I/O capabilities.
The panel has a native resolution of 1,366 x 768 pixels (HD) or just 1,024 x 600 pixels, if buyers so wish.
Obviously, it has touch support, capacitive multitouch in fact, since it wouldn't be able to act as a slate otherwise.
That said, a DDR3 memory slot is mentioned, along with one 2.5-inch drive bay, for a hard disk drive (or possibly a solid state drive).
Wireless connectivity is present as well (obviously, since the product would have had no business passing through the FCC otherwise).
In fact, in addition to Bluetooth 2.1 and 802.11b/g/n WiFi, there is optional 3G as well.
Other specifications include a 1.3 megapixel webcam, a built-in mic, the obligatory Ethernet, HDMI and D-Sub, a USB 3.0 connector, a USB 2.0/eSATA combo and a standard USB 2.0 port, plus 1.5 watt speakers.
No indication as to how much money buyers will be expected to fork up in exchange for this Netvertible, but it will not be too modest a sum.
