A new class of portable computing is emerging and for less than $600.
Via’s Nanobook has a 7″ screen, clamshell form factor and a full QWERTY keyboard. Weighing 850g (1.9 lb), the reference design offers a 1.2 GHz VIA C7 CPU, the VX-700 chipset, and up to 1GB of RAM. Connectivity comes with WiFi, BlueTooth, 2 USB ports, DVI, and a 4-in-1 card reader. And the battery isn’t that bad – 4.5 hours with XP installed; less with Vista.
NanoBook competes with Samsung’s UMPC and Palm’s Foleo.
A full computer that can actually be used on an airplane. Imagine that!
