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.
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!
Nag deteriorate na rin battery ng Minix ko. Di ko alam san bibili eh. baka sa Gilmore din kung san binili.
@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.
@Toni
I bought it August 3 last year. Initially, 2 hours lang ang battery life nya. Tapos ngayon, mga 10 minutes na lang. Mas mura ‘yung iyo,amazing. 6 months lang ‘yung warranty ng battery e.
@Ivy… when did you buy your Minix? Sandali lang ba battery life nya?
I bought mine mga March and okay pa naman battery life nya. I bought mine at Php14,000 or Php14, 500 I think, sa Gilmore. With OS na rin. Pero trial nga lang so I have to reinstall again.
I bought mine from Gilmore for 15,300 with OS. The OS was a trial version, I had to have it reinstalled.
Anyway,does anyone know how much is the 3-cell battery? My battery has already deteriorated. I need to buy a new one. And I am wondering if I can replace the 3-cell with a 6-cell. Will the 6-cell battery fit in the same spot as the 3-cell?
