It’s about 9.8″ x 6.6″ in length and width. And the whole thing weighs just over 1.5 pounds. FoxConn isn’t exactly a household […]

Foxconn working on ARM-based smartbooks
Foxconn is one of those companies that you don’t hear too much about in the West. But they’re responsible for making a significant portion of the notebooks and other consumer electronics devices (including the iPhone) that we purchase. The Taiwanese company just doesn’t usually slap its own name on the products, but rather builds them […]
