Gigabyte M1028

The Gigabyte M1028 is a high-end netbook PC designed with a convertible top; meaning it swivels/pivots backwards so that the screen is completely facing out. This function allows the device to be used as a large size tablet PC; many similar devices include a stylus so that users can take notes in a more traditional writing style instead of typing. The M1028 features a 10.1 LCD display screen with a maximum resolution of 1024 x 600. Additional M1028 specifications include a N270 Intel Atom processor, 1 GB of ram, 160 GB hard drive, full WiFi support, and SD card and an ExpressCard slot, three USB 2.0 ports, a 1.3 MPX webcam, and comes bundled with Microsoft Windows XP Home.
