After 6 months in R&D with my Taiwanese suppliers, I’m very excited to announce my very own YugaTech-branded netbook. Check the specs and preview photo after the jump.
YugaTech Netbook
- 10.2″ OLED display screen (1280×960 resolution)
- Intel Atom Z550 2.0GHz CPU
- 2GB DDR3 1333 MHz RAM (maximum of 4GB)
- 128 GB SSD or 500GB SATA HDD
- 5 x USB 2.0
- Bluetooth 2.1
- WiFi 802.11 b/g/n
- WiMax 802.16e
- 3G/HSDPA up to 7.2Mbps
- 2.0 MP webcam
- Fingerprint/Facial recognition
- 7-in-1 card reader
- Backlit keyboard
- Multi-touch
- 8-cell 7200 mAh Battery (up to 9.5 hours)
- Ubuntu or Windows XP Home
The 3G/HSDPA module is compatible with Smart, Globe and Sun Cellular SIM cards although we’re still having problems with Red Mobile 3G. The WiMax 802.16e is being ironed out with Globe WiMax and should be ready out of the box with their Plan 799.
Although my earlier reviews with the Atom Z500 series were not as fast compared to the N series, I chose the 2.0GHz Z550 over the 1.66GHz N280. Nothing beats the digits in terms of marketing.
We’re in the final production stage and these will hit the local market starting April 31, 2009. I’m also deciding how much they will be priced locally but we’re looking at models between Php19,995 to php24,995 depending on the upgrades and to stay competitive. Will post more updates and color options but certainly we will have blue, red, pink, black, white, green, yellow and orange.
I’m also raffling off 10 of these YugaTech Netbooks to those who blog, tweet, plurk or Facebook this entry. Just leave a comment with the URL to your entry.
I’m pretty stoked about it but today, April 1, is probably my biggest blogging day ever.
I want that notebook! I posted the url on my facebook. What’s next?
holy crap, i got spaced. Well anyway, good luck on whatever it is you’re trying to pull. Speedieoh!
