If you are charging $300 for the equivalent netbook there is NO WAY you can tell me that it costs an ADDITIONAL $200-$300 to make the screen swivel and be touch sensitive.

Once these things get to the $400 range you will see more people interested in them. ]]>May 28th 2010 3:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/28/gigabyte-busts-out-m1125-netvertible-ahead-of-computex/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/28/gigabyte-busts-out-m1125-netvertible-ahead-of-computex/THIS.

I never get the stupid price increase. I would love a little cheap netvertible but they always have that little swivel tax. :(]]>May 28th 2010 5:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/28/gigabyte-busts-out-m1125-netvertible-ahead-of-computex/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/28/gigabyte-busts-out-m1125-netvertible-ahead-of-computex/ But, it just may cost an additional $200-$300 to add an optical drive & ULV processor, and....make it NOT a Netbook.]]>May 29th 2010 4:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/28/gigabyte-busts-out-m1125-netvertible-ahead-of-computex/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/28/gigabyte-busts-out-m1125-netvertible-ahead-of-computex/
I mean, having used a few - having one central point to swivel the two halves is understandable, but at least let them "snap" or "click" into place with support bits. It feels really awful holding these netvertibles as a tablet and feeling them wobble like the joints of a palm pre... it shouldn't be that difficult to put a little plastic moulding here and there so that it can rest and support itself when in its various positions.

The Intel Calpella platform is an evolution of the Centrino platform (also not Netbook hardware). It's a ULV chip.
Though having an optical drive knocks this out of the Ultra-Portable category, it's still no *Net*anything.
That is all.]]>May 28th 2010 3:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/28/gigabyte-busts-out-m1125-netvertible-ahead-of-computex/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/28/gigabyte-busts-out-m1125-netvertible-ahead-of-computex/May 29th 2010 12:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/28/gigabyte-busts-out-m1125-netvertible-ahead-of-computex/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/28/gigabyte-busts-out-m1125-netvertible-ahead-of-computex/
But I fail to understand the need for an optical drive, and I fail to see how this is a netbook.

If its not super cheap with a atom processor, its probably not a netbook, its an ultra-portable. ]]>May 28th 2010 4:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/28/gigabyte-busts-out-m1125-netvertible-ahead-of-computex/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/28/gigabyte-busts-out-m1125-netvertible-ahead-of-computex/May 28th 2010 5:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/28/gigabyte-busts-out-m1125-netvertible-ahead-of-computex/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/28/gigabyte-busts-out-m1125-netvertible-ahead-of-computex/May 28th 2010 5:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/28/gigabyte-busts-out-m1125-netvertible-ahead-of-computex/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/28/gigabyte-busts-out-m1125-netvertible-ahead-of-computex/ I'd take resistive touch over capacitive any day, if it was an either-or choice. Ideally, I'd rather have an active digitizer. If they wanna toss a capacitive layer on top of that I would certainly not object.]]>May 29th 2010 4:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/28/gigabyte-busts-out-m1125-netvertible-ahead-of-computex/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/28/gigabyte-busts-out-m1125-netvertible-ahead-of-computex/Isn't that what a Wacom electro-magnetic resonance active pen digitizer is for? Far more precise, can detect the pen hovering above the screen, pressure-sensitive, and also allows for two buttons and an eraser on the pen. (Just don't lose the pen...they're not cheap to replace, unlike the typical plastic toothpick stylus!)

Better yet, that type of digitizer is placed behind the screen, so there's nothing stopping anyone from putting a resistive or capacitive digitizer in front of the screen for finger touch. Tablet PCs have actually been doing this for a few years already-some Wacom + resistive touch, some N-Trig pen + capacitive multi-touch, and most newer ones Wacom + capacitive multi-touch.

The best part is that when the pen comes into range, the touch layer just gets disabled entirely. Perfect palm rejection!

If it had to come down to resistive or capacitive, though, I'm with Epyon. A good resistive digitizer like on the HTC Touch Pro2 doesn't leave me pining for capacitive one bit, and I can only imagine what Stantum's multi-touch-capable and pressure-sensitive take on the resistive digitizer is like.]]>May 29th 2010 2:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/28/gigabyte-busts-out-m1125-netvertible-ahead-of-computex/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/28/gigabyte-busts-out-m1125-netvertible-ahead-of-computex/May 28th 2010 5:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/28/gigabyte-busts-out-m1125-netvertible-ahead-of-computex/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/28/gigabyte-busts-out-m1125-netvertible-ahead-of-computex/May 29th 2010 2:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/28/gigabyte-busts-out-m1125-netvertible-ahead-of-computex/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/28/gigabyte-busts-out-m1125-netvertible-ahead-of-computex/May 29th 2010 7:25PM
