Gigabyte T1000 Pine Trail convertible netbook makes an appearance

Gigabyte will soon be launching a Pine Trail update to its 10-inch TouchNote T1028 convertible tablet. The Gigabyte T1000 made a brief appearance on the company’s official site with a full list of specs, which has since been pulled.

The T1000 looks very similar to the T1028 but will come with a 1.66GHz N450 Atom or 1.83GHz N470 Atom processor. It also sports a chiclet keyboard, the original came with a normal keyboard.

Two SKUs are due, the T1000X has a 4-cell 4500mAh battery and weighs 1.3kg (2.9lbs). The more expensive T1000P will have a multi-touch display, 6-cell 7650mAh battery and weighs 1.48kg (3.3lbs). You can check out a full spec list after the break. Read more

LG unveils 11.6-inch T280 CULV ultra-thin

LG has announced a new CULV-based ultra-thin in the form of the 11.6-inch T280 series. Two models are available; the T280-GR63K that is powered by a 1.3GHz Intel Core 2 Duo SU7300 processor and the T280-LR3PK which has an Intel Pentium SU4100 processor. Both come with Windows 7 Home Premium.

There’s no word on whether we’ll see the LG T280 hit western shores right now, but we’ll keep you posted. Check out some more pictures of the T280 ultra-thin after the break. Read more

The guys over at Technoholik managed to spend some time with the Adam and we’ve included their hands-on video after the jump. Slashgear also has had a pre-MWC play around and shot a video demonstrating Adobe Flash and its rotating webcam. Pricing is still a mystery, but hopefully more details will emerge at MWC that officially starts today. Read more

We thought we’d flag that the Nokia Booklet 3G netbook is now shipping through the Nokia store. We’ve already had a dig about the extortionate UK pricing (£649.00), which could buy you two netbooks from other manufacturers, but for those willing to part with their cash there’s no doubt you’ll be getting one of the prettiest netbooks on the market.

The Fujitsu LifeBook MH380 is quite unique amongst Intel Pine Trail netbooks. First of all it has a high resolution 10.1-inch (1366 x 768) display and secondly it also comes with a scroll pad next to its touchpad that is used to navigate lengthy web pages and the like.

Laptop Mag has its review of the device and whilst overall it only scored three stars out of five, there are some definite positives for the Fujitsu netbook. It is a much better effort than its predecessor, it has a bright HD display, comfortable keyboard, loud speakers and good battery life. The scroll pad also works surprisingly well. Read more

Notion Ink Adam tablet renders surface, two versions considered

Of the many tablets shown off at CES 2010 in January, the Notion Ink Adam was one of the most interesting. It utilizes two of the most exciting technologies in the mobile computing space, the Nvidia Tegra 2 chipset as well as Pixel Qi’s 3Qi Hybrid 10-inch display. Whilst the device shown at CES was very much a prototype, Slashgear has managed to get their hands-on with renders of what the finished tablet will look like.

Interestingly, the company is considering two models, one that is 12.9mm thick and the other is 11.6mm in thickness (for reference the iPad is 13.4mm thick). Notion Ink hasn’t said what the differences are, but one version may end up excluding the Pixel Qi display that no doubt adds bulk and instead going for a vanilla LCD display on the slimmer model.

DosPara has teamed up with a game animation called Nitro+ to introduce a limited edition 12.1-inch “Yu-on” netbook that comes with a Blu-ray optical drive. The Prime Note Cresion NA Yu-Pon is quite full featured, armed with a 1.6GHz dual-core 330 Atom processor and Nvidia ION chipset.

You’ll also get 2GB RAM, 320GB HDD, Wi-Fi (b/g/n), HDMI and Windows 7 Home Premium. The Yu-On netbook will hit Japan later this month for 69,980 Yen ($784, £503, €575). It’s unlikely we’ll see this unique netbook hit western shores anytime soon.
