Dream PC Description

Todays netbooks are functionally fine with the current hardware and specifications. The only thing that is really missing is the tablet feature. What I think is the next step is to make it all slim and minimalistic. Features (other than standard netbook): o Screen: 8.9-10 inches LED backlit Rotating screen (a la Tablet-PC) 1280x768 resolution (1024x600 optional) Minimal screen bezel Matt (non-glossy) o Slim form factor - less than 1" thick - battery doesn't stand out o Keyboard with normal right shift key (see HP Mini 1000) o Quick-keys on the screen bezel (close to hinge) for rotating etc. - These can be modified by the user. o Matt black finish o 3G not locked - any USIM can be installed All this for a price just over the normal netbook (USD $500-$600)

The m912 fits the bill (mostly) and cost me $600 usd shipped (read imported as its UK only) I love the little netbook.

Yeah, I think one of the OLPC ones is a tablet version. It looks crap though :)

Hey, you almost described my Gateway CX2610 that I've had for over 3 years. I agree, it rocks. Unfortunately it cost a bit more that $600. A new netbook version of this would be tremendously useful. Isn't one of the versions of the OLPC like this?

EdMercer - There is the Gigabyte M912 which retails for around $900 I think, but it's pretty thick and has a thick screen bezel.

Joshua - Like a netbook version of a Latitude XP with a 8.9" screen and a smaller price tag :)

I'd really love a tablet @ netbook price point. Almost buying/installing touch add-on to my Eee PC.

Fast, portable, and solar-paneled to stay on forever. In the normal face, the screen is 15.7 inches. In the portable face, it turns in to a pocket sized "phone". The "phone" phase has a 3 in.x3 in. sc...
