HP Spain unveils the Compaq Airlife 1000 Smartbook

  • Tweet

It looks like the rumors (and FCC filing) were true — HP is bringing its first smartbook to market. It will be called the Compaq Airlife 100, and according to Engadget it will basically look like a netbook and have the guts of a smartphone. In fact, the Airlife 100 looks virtually identical to the prototype smartbook that HP was showing off at CES in early January, although at the time HP said it was just a prototype and that there were no plans to bring it to market yet.

Here’s a rundown on the spec:

  • CPU: Most likely a 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor
  • OS: Google Android
  • Display: 10.1 inch touchscreen
  • Storage: 16GB SSD
  • Connectivity: 3G and WiFi
  • Battery: Up to 12 hours (10 days in standby)

The Compaq Airlife will be available in Spain through a deal with telecom Telefonica. It’s also expecte to launch in Europe and Latin America. No final word on a US version yet. You can find more images at Engadget and a press release at Engadget Spanish.

I don’t see any word on a launch date yet, so it’s not clear whether  HP will get the Airlife 100 into customers hands before April, when Lenovo expects to begin offering its Skylight smartbook.

    Keyboard in that picture looks familar.
    Like the hp-21xx and hp-51yy Netbooks only it has lost the row of function keys.
    Too bad they didn't lose those left of pad and right of pad buttons.

    If it uses a touchscreen, then why it’s can’t be rotated to tablet position? It seems to be a huge con
