Although some vendors might call such a device an ultra mobile PC(UMPC), tablet PC, or convertible notebook, Gigabyte is usingIntel's " netbook " moniker for the M912. That nomenclature brings it into line withAcer's Aspire One , Advent's 4211 , Asus' Eee , and MSI's Wind , all of which use the same 22mm x 22mm, 1.6GHz Atom N270 processor.
Like the above devices, then, the M912 also employs Intel's 945GMSnorthbridge and ICH7M southbridge. It is equipped with 1GB of DDR2RAM -- expansion potential not cited -- and a 160GB, 2.5-inch harddisk drive.
Reviewers of the above-mentioned netbooks have cited trouble typingon their keyboards, depending on model. We haven't found anycomments about the new Gigabyte M912's 80-key keyboard, but in anycase the device sidesteps the issue somewhat by providing aswiveling touchscreen display.
Designed to be operated with an included stylus, the 8.9-inch panelrotates 180 degrees and folds down over the keyboard, just as onlarger convertible netbooks. On an entry-level model (M912M), whichincludes Windows XP Home, screen resolution is 1024 x 600 pixels.Meanwhile, models M912X and M912V offer 1280 x 768 resolutions,along with Windows XP Home or Windows Vista Home Basic,respectively.
