Now here’s an interesting review – it’s LaptopMag’s look at the Gigabyte M912V mini-notebook/netbook system.which was introduced back in early July The M912V looks like any other netbook out on the market with the 8.9 inch display, 1GB of RAM, and the 1.6GHz Intel Atom processor. However, if you take a closer look, you’ll notice that the system features a swiveling touch-screen display which means this small netbook system doubles as a Tablet PC system. The notebook isn’t exactly as small as the Eee PC or the MSI Wind – in fact according to LaptopMag, it’s an inch thicker than the MSI Wind, and 6.4 oz heavier than the Eee PC 901. But we can possibly forgive all of that if the Tablet PC functionality works well enough.. so what does LaptopMag think?

The Gigabyte M912V has the potential to shake up the mini-notebook market, but it hasn’t mastered the basics of comparable systems. While the touch experience is solid and as good as many of the other tablets out there, its limited endurance, cramped keyboard, and hot temperature limit its potential.

On top of this – I’m still somewhat skeptical of running Windows Vista on a 1.6GHz Intel Atom processor.. A Tablet PC XP OS on the other hand would be preferable IMHO.
