Let’s have a look at it.

First look:

It’s only 2 cm thin, weighs 1.25 kg and sports a 10.1″ glass High Definition (HD) display. One of its striking features is aluminium chassis that gives it a rocking look. Apart from this it has full sized Shift keys.

Features:

Now comes the interesting part. It contains pre-installed onboard GPS chip and Ovi Maps. Apart from this it has a swappable SIM card slot which will enable the user to make call. Wow!

It is powered by Inter Atom processor with 1.6GHz Atom Z530 CPU and a 120GB HDD and has 12 hours battery life. It is expected that it will come with Windows 7 starter edition.

It will have 1280×720 pixels on the screen for better resolution and HD display. Note that its counterparts like Acer have 1024×600 pixels screen. So a plus point over the competitors.

Connectivity:

It will support 3G/HSPA, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi.

Price:
