Gigabyte S1080 Windows 7 Tablet now available for US pre-order |
It is already available in Taiwan, and it has even hit Australia, now it’s our turn for Gigabyte’s big Windows 7 tablet. The S1080 features a 320GB drive, dual-core Atom N570, Ethernet port, and for some unknown reason, VGA output.
All you need is $650 and it ships on July 1st. Other features include 802.11b/g/n WiFi, Bluetooth 3.0, 1.3 megapixel webcam and a USB 3.0 port. If you have been waiting for this one, now is your chance.









Netbooks are huge right now with the little machines racking up sales numbers that traditional notebooks are having a hard time matching. The sweet spot for netbooks today is the 10.1-inch screen size and Gigabyte has announced a new convertible netbook that should appeal to many users.
I like netbooks, I happen to think that the tradeoff of screen size and some power for portability is well worth it for the way I use a notebook. That said I think going below an 8-inch or 9-inch screen size is too much of a compromise, but some folks want even more portability in their web access device.
