PC Trends sent us two brand new netbooks today — the 10.1-inch Minix M1000 netbook powered by an Intel Atom N270. Check out the unboxing photos below.
The Minix M1000 netbook has a 10.1″ LED display screen with a resolution of 1024×576 pixels. The white one has a glossy screen while the black version has a matte screen.
Specs include — Intel Atom 1.6GHz N270, 2GB DDR2 RAM, 160GB HDD, Intel GMA 950, WiFi 802.11 b/g, SD/SDHC/MMC card reader, 1.3MP webcam and a 3-cell 2200mAH battery (6-cell optional).
The design reminds me of the MSI Wind U100 series — that swivel base, click-pad, rounded edges and position of the Ctrl and Fn key position.
The Mini M1000 netbook will retail for Php17,500 and comes pre-installed with either Ubuntu or Windows XP. Full review to follow.
@Toni/Ivy: Could you tell me where I can buy replacement battery for Minix? I have mine for almost a year na. Not sure if I did the right things to take care its short battery life.
Nag deteriorate na rin battery ng Minix ko. Di ko alam san bibili eh. baka sa Gilmore din kung san binili.
I see. I got mine in Alabang for 13k without dos and OS. Main store is in Legarda. I just hope they would be able to sell me replacement batts. Thanks!
