Gigabyte is often on the cutting edge of portable computer technology. It was one of the first companies to introduce 9 and 10 inch mini-laptops with Intel Atom processors and touchscreens that you could swivel and use in tablet mode — albeit at rather high, un-netbook-like prices. Now the company has introduced a new 11.6 inch laptop… with specs straight out of 2009.
For the most part, the Gigabyte Q1105M looks like a perfectly respectable thin and light notebook. It’s just a bit disappointing to see a new machine with an Intel Pentium ULV processor in the day and age of Core i-series chips. The 3 cell, 2200mAh battery is also nothing to write home about.
Rounding out the specs are an 11.6 inch, 1366 x 768 pixel display, 2GB of DDR3 memory, integrated Intel GMA 4500 graphics, WIndows 7 Home Premium, a 250GB or 320GB hard drive, HDMI output, 3 USB ports, mic and headphone jacks and a flash card reader.
The laptop has a 0.3MP camera, 802.11b/g/n WiFi, Bluetooth 2.1, and a 3.5G antenna for an optional 3.5G mobile broadband module.
The Gigabyte Q1105M measures 11.5″ x 7.8″ x 1.3″ and weighs 3.3 pounds. I haven’t seen any information about pricing or availability yet.

The chassis and design of the Gigabyte Q1105M notebook are fine, the internals are not.
The GPU in particular is hopeless, we need Ontario with its 80 shader DX11 GPU.
