The tablet S1080 Gigabyte Windows passes the FCC

America is a very special place. For an electronic device hits the market, you first have to go through the Federal Communications Commission, and passing through the FCC made public immediately. So thanks to the committee, we have encountered with the Gigabyte S1080, a new tablet about to land in the American market with a feature: The use of Sony vgp-bps8.

It is clearly not the first time we see a tablet with Microsoft’s operating system; Iconia Acer, Asus Eee and MSI Wind Pad Andaron and this road before, with varying degrees of success, along with Olympus li-12b from other brands like Onkyo, or HP. In fact, the move by Microsoft to adapt its system to the ARM platform makes it especially appealing to embed more products of this type, with greater versatility, given the acceptance and extension of Windows 7.

In this case we have a 10.1-inch tablet previously announced, but with this inspection by the FCC, is just one step closer to the U.S. market officially. The S1080 has dual-core processor and Olympus li-30b and capacitive screen and all kinds of connections, yes, a very exaggerated price of $ 699.

Technical Specifications

Intel Dual-core Atom N550

Display 10.1 “Multi-Touch Capacitive 1024×600 pixels resolution

320GB hard drive + slot for SD / SDHC

USB 3.0

Wi-Fi b / g / n

Bluetooth 3.0

Front 1.3MP Webcam

VGA output

Including new features like USB 3.0, Wi-Fi up to 300Mbps, longer battery life the same with the Sony vgp-bps8a or high speed Bluetooth, it makes every bit odd that Gigabyte has opted for a video output through VGA, instead of a more modern and complete interface like HDMI , which is capable of transmitting audio as well as image. There is something quite interesting at this tablet Gigabyte, and the incorporation of a “trackpad” touch controls that are used with the thumbs, specially designed to navigate through the interface of Windows 7, which is not too friendly screens tactile, and also for those bums who do not like moving your hand through the screen.

The Sony vgp-bps9/b (thick and heavy enough apparently) and hit stores Taiwanese homeland of the firm, a few months ago, and would be ready to do the same in the mega saturated U.S. market soon, offering an alternative to those not convinced of the versatility of Android, or need to run legacy applications in a familiar environment for any reason. For a complete dissection of the device, addressed to the FCC website.

The Table convertible M1125 Gigabyte at Computex Taipei

21 Jul

 Gigabyte at Computex Taipei presented a table convertible with a 11.6-inch screen with a resolution of 1366 × 768 pixels, with all the hardware device at the top, the name of the model is Gigabyte M1125, based on platform Intel Calpella. The processors are mounted on this device versions ULV (Ultra Low Voltage) Intel Core for i5 and i7. In support of such powerful processors, there will be a 8 GB RAM and a 500 GB hard drive, as communication port will be the unique USB 3.0 high speed to ensure the exchange of data to the outside. Also an eSATA port / USB 2.0 memory card reader, Bluetooth and WiFi 802.11n, as accessories instead there will be the integrated 1.3 megapixel webcam.

But we see better the properties of this display that can transform your notebook(Dell XPS M1210 battery) into tablet . The screen is fully rotatable, can take the classic position of a notebook in a turn of 180 °, so as to come to coincide with the full screen keyboard and find yourself holding a tablet by high performance. Obviously the screen is a touchscreen that supports multi-touch, to experience truly comfortable usability.

The keyboard in laptop(Dell Inspiron 6000 battery) mode, it delivers comfort equal to that of the tablet: chiclet type, has a touchpad with buttons to select all placed on one bar, despite the small size nearly form factor, the keyboard is quite relaxed.

But this system is not static: there plans Gigabyte is also a docking station that integrates an optical drive, an Ethernet network card, an audio jack and even a VGA output, but there is something even more shocking: Gigabyte has announced its intention to combine two LCD screens in tablet mode on the sides of the docking station. Pricing and availability on the international market were not specified, as do all the hardware configuration on your computer(Dell XPS M170 battery).
