Gigabyte releases promo clips for new netbooks

Gigabyte announced three new netbooks at CeBIT that are planned for release during 2009. It has released three short promotional videos for these netbooks giving an idea as to what they look like in motion. All three models sport a 10.1-inch display and are powered by Intel’s Atom N270/N280 CPU.

Judging by the videos it appears that the model names have changed slightly since CeBIT. The TouchNote T1028 (‘T’ standing for touch) seems to be the same model that was paraded as the M1028 at CeBIT. It is a convertible tablet with 10.1-inch LED backlit touchscreen. The ThinNote S1024 (‘S’ standing for slim) was previously known as the M1024 at CeBIT. It is just 2cm thick and weighs only 890g. Finally the Booktop M1022 is a white netbook that comes with its own docking station. The docking design allows you to connect a keyboard and monitor so that you can use it as a desktop at home and then take it out of its dock when on the move. All three videos plus full specifications after the break.
