在VirraMall的一家店铺中发现了技嘉 Booktop M1022C——一款连接底座后可转变为台式机的上网本。
Gigabyte Booktop 采用典型的 10 英寸上网本外形规格，配备标准配置——Intel Atom N280 1.66GHz、1GB DDR2 RAM、160GB HDD、WiFi 802.11 b/g/n、Bluetooth、1.3MP 网络摄像头、ExpressCard 插槽和 4 芯电池。此外，它还预装了 Windows XP 操作系统。
但一旦您回到家中或办公室，只需将 Gigabyte Booktop 插入其专用底座，它即可变身为一台台式机（或小型主机）。该底座配备了 VGA、3 个 USB 接口、音频和 LAN 端口以及电源接口，可在设备 docking 时为电池充电。
这是我在这整排商店中见过的唯一一款，该店以21,990菲律宾比索的价格出售整套设备。这绝对是个不错的交易。
@char – a lot of other brand name netbooks don’t reach the Philippines. The Samsung netbooks and the one by LG hasn’t arrived here despite being launched several times in other countries.
ang late ata ng pagdating nito dito Q1 pa of last year to available sa Singapore..
Buti pa ang Qube may online store dito sa atin sana yung ibang brands magkaroon din ng local online store puro kasi international eh paano naman yung mga walang credit card at paypal account..
@berkano – when I asked for the price, they said it included the docking station. The one on Qube has 3G and higher battery capacity that’s why it’s more expensive.
@cris
No it won’t overheat, unless you cover all the exhaust vents and fans. Also, I’m thinking you only have to plug the monitor, LAN, keyboard, and mouse once. Like if you don’t have a desktop computer at home / office, you just leave the dock there. When you leave, you simply take the netbook, and not the dock. I guess you can leave the connections be.
Why make the following hassle:
*Plugging the LCD to the VGA port
*Plugging the LCD to an electric outlet
*Plugging a usb keyboard
*plugging mouse
*Docking the laptop
*Plugging the dock to the electric outlet
With all that peripherals and an Atom N280, that netbook/desktop pretender will surely OVERHEAT! :)
^looks like the difference would be OS (qube says it has Win7). but if that would be enough for the price difference, i’m not sure.
Yuga, quite a hot topic here but let me add some info here and just to add the price you quoted might simply be for the netbook itself and not the docking station. Buyqube will have this by Jan. 20 and they’re pricing it differently.

people are really taking the opportunity to experiment on these netbooks. i say netbooks are revolutionizing the hardware industry.
A very good deal! Given na netbooks (or any laptop) can be used as a desktop by itself and connecting peripherals, this goes one step further by adding a dock! Mura na to for 21k!
Other brands (such as IBM) offer docks din with ports pero those are sold spearately and can cost as much as 15k!
Actually I already use my netbook as a desktop. I just an lcd monitor then a usb keyboard and mouse and shazam!
Anyway, I like the dock though!
ayus to ah
Oh, SWEET! I have to start saving up money for this cutie and a decent monitor. As it is, I have the keyboard and the mouse already.
Question: can those Eneloop batteries in the 3rd picture be used as an emergency power source for the booktop, or are they just there for the “scenic value”, as it were?
:)
nice
I think Dell laptops have this similar “docks”. Most of our managers in the office have “docks” installed in their workstations. So, they could use their laptops with their secondary monitors in the office.
Nice idea… who would have thought that a netbook could be used as a desktop…
they could even have the “booktop” label copyrighted…
If i would ever purchase a netbook i would definitely get this one….
I bet that after a few months other netbook manufacturer would follow suite…
Perfect for people on the go! Nice price too! I could only wish it had more oomph, like bigger RAM and a more powerful processor.
Another good alternative. :)
wow! 21k. like a two in one unit. i really want this.
hope we can get a full review of this netbook/pc.
also, how much time will the battery last?
Compassionate for the vast recitation, but I’m really doting the new Zune, and comic this, as well as the fantabulous reviews remaining people jazz handwritten, module cater you if it’s the parcel deciding for you.
