The Gigabyte Booktop 1132 is a computer designed for anyone that can’t choose between a laptop, a tablet, or a desktop. It aims to be all three. You can use the computer as a standard laptop, twist the screen and fold it back over the keyboard for use as a tablet, or close the lid and place the Booktop 1132 in a docking station to hook up a monitor, keyboard and mouse and use the PC like a desktop.
Gigabyte introduced the PC earlier this week, but made no mention of the pricing or availability. Now the Booktop 1132 has shown up at the FCC website, which suggests that the computer may be on its way to the US soon.
The computer has an 11.6 inch, 1366 x 768 pixel TF_LCD touchscreen display, an intel Core i5 processor, and NVIDIA GeForce GT520M graphics with 1GB of dedicated memory.
