Blue sneaks in Helium T31 Mini-Notebook

Listen to article

오늘 오후 PC Corner 매장 선반 중 하나에서 블루 디지털의 새로운 넷북을 발견했습니다. 10인치 블루 헬륨 T31입니다.

판매 담당자에게 들은 바에 따르면, Helium T31은 이달 출시된 신제품이라고 하지만 공식 Blue 웹사이트에서는 확인할 수 없었습니다.

사양:
10" 디스플레이 화면
Intel Centrino 1.2GHz
1GB RAM
80GB HDD
WiFi
56k 모뎀
LAN
USB 포트 2 개
Firewire 포트
6 셀 배터리
Windows XP Home Edition
외부 DVD-Writer

가격: Php 21,998(약 $475)

이것은 인텔 센트리노를 탑재한 최초의 넷북입니다. VIA 에서 인텔로 전환한 블루의 결정은 좋은 선택이며 가격도 적절합니다. 외부 DVD 드라이브 하나만 해도 3,000 페소를 넘을 수 있으므로 이는 훌륭한 거래입니다.

maurice i think it will be nice to save money and wait little longer..ASUS 100HE is coming..not to mention another type of netbooks which is 3G ready..no need to put the usb 3G to connect to the net..para na syang GSM kasi mailalagay mo na mismo sa loob ang mga simcards na 3G na..

hmmm. As far as i know Blue doesn’t produce its own line of product. Instead, they order these units from china or taiwan from a OEM Manufacturer of Netbooks and Notebooks. All they do is repackage or rebrand this units and sell them cheaper against the big boys.

This netbook is a bombshell! Im gonna save up to buy this baby.

It’s a Pentium M, confirmed it Yesterday when I dropped by and asked if I can check the BIOS. No information on the chipset though, they won’t allow me to boot the pre-installed Windows O.S.

“sneaked in”. i wonder why? is it to avoid sharing the limelight with the much cheaper (and more advertised) deep blue?

@ ralph
if the dvd was internal, then i think it would just ruin the purpose of being a netbook. if an internal dvd is something you are looking for then i think a regular laptop would do the job. :D

but overall, this device is very competitive with the bundled external dvd writer.

Numluck – I believe this one has shared VRAM. I’m betting the IGP is a lowly GMA 900. :-D

@ Lucien, currently, I’m using a Pentium M (w/ ATI X700 128mb VRAM) laptop which will beat any core 2 duo laptop w/ shared VC.

It’s a great package provided that you’ll use the DVDRW. I hope that they will release an affordable 12″ laptop which is a good balance between usability (7″ to 10″ netbook doesn’t appeal to me; i’ll go blind he he) and portability.

I’ll go and snoop some more for you. I’ll ask them to let me peek into the BIOS for more detailed information. :-P

Oh, and I hope you’re right. I’ll go get it if it’s a ULV C2D processor, but not if it’s a Pentium M. The old Centrino logo they used isn’t very promising though.

@ Lucien – it could also be the ULV Core 2 Duo that recently came out. I think they range from 1.2 – 1.6GHz. Not really sure and I asked for the specs sheet which they said is missing.

I don’t understand why they keep saying Centrino Processor, Centrino is not a processor! The guys there had NO idea what the processor actually is. I’m betting it’s a Pentium M which would either be too slow or too power hungry
