Brad Linder — Mon, 16 Feb 2009 21:09:19 +0000

Back before the CTL 2Go PC convertible tablet or the Asus Eee PC T91 were even a twinkle in our eyes, Gigabyte release the M912 convertible tablet. While the machine's a bit expensive to be considered a netbook, with a price tag around $799, the Gigabyte M912 has an 8.9 inch 1280 x 768 or 1024 x 600 pixel touchscreen...

Brad Linder — Fri, 28 Nov 2008 19:53:24 +0000

With a starting price of around $700, the Gigabyte M912 is already one of the most expensive mini-laptops I'd be willing to call a netbook. But if you're looking for something a bit more extravagent looking, why not pick up a Gigabyte M912x Goldenrod edition? As the name would suggest, this version of Gigabyte's mini-tablet notebook is painted a gold...

The Gigabyte M912 also happens to be one of the most expensive netbooks, with a starting price around $700. Now it looks like Gigabyte is planning to expand...

Gigabyte M912 hack: Adding an internal 3G modem

Brad Linder — Mon, 06 Oct 2008 22:22:24 +0000

The Gigabyte M912 has an ExpressCard slot, making it incredibly easy to slide a 3G modem or other peripheral into the netbook. But most ExpressCard wireless modems stick out pretty far from the case, making an ugly spectacle of themselves. Fortunately, jkkmobile is on the case. He's posted a tutorial for adding an internal 3G card to a Gigabyte M912...

As I mentioned yesterday, UMPC Portal's Steve Paine recently got his hands on a Gigabyte M912M tablet style netbook. And today he's posted the video to prove it. Overall, he says the device is quite responsive thanks to a decent hard drive, the 1.6GHz Intel Atom CPU, and a decent touchscreen display. Unlike virtually every other netbook on the market,...

Brad Linder — Tue, 30 Sep 2008 17:43:31 +0000

The Gigabyte M912M and M912X tablet style netbooks are now shipping in Europe. The M912 series of laptops stretches the generally accepted definition of a netbook in two ways. First, they're a bit on the pricy side, at about $700 to $800 US. And second, it has a touchscreen display that you can swivel and fold down over the keyboard to use...

If you've been scratching your head trying to figure out whether the upcoming Gigabyte M912 mini-tablet PC comes with a 1024 x 600 pixel display or a 1280 x 768 pixel display (I've seen reports of both resolutions), it looks like Chippy over at UMPC Portal has solved the mystery - there's more than one model.

10 inch, dual-core Gigabyte M912 coming soon?

Brad Linder — Fri, 08 Aug 2008 01:10:58 +0000

Engadget Chinese is reporting that Gigabyte plans to follow up its too-recently-launched-to-be-called-successful M912 8.9 inch netbook tablet with a 10 inch version. Makes sense, since everybody and his kid brother are releasing 9 and 10 inch versions of their netbooks these days. But wait, there's more. Engadget says "reliable sources" are telling them that the laptop will also sport the...

Laptop Magazine: Gigabyte M912 is hot… too hot

Brad Linder — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 12:17:26 +0000

The Gigabyte M912 is the first netbook-class device to feature a touchscreen display that can rotate 180 degrees for tablet-style use. What sets the M912 apart from your typical tablet PC computers is the fact that it sells for under $1000, weighs less than 4 pounds, and has an 8.9 inch display.

Sure, we saw Chippy unbox a Gigabyte M912 the other day. But he got his hands on a pre-production unit. Laptop Magazine, on the other hand, found an eBay seller who was willing to ship a unit with the official packaging from Taiwan. The packaging looks pretty decent. And the computer comes with a nice case, a 6 cell battery,...
