At an impressively low price
It appears that Intel's Mobile Internet Device (MID) platform, codenamed Menlow, is going to make its way into yet another new product, which will be released by Averatec's Trigem. Coming as a 4.8-inch touchscreen portable computing device, the Lluon Mobbit has been designed to provide its users with an easy to use Internet-capable portable
system. One of the aspects that separate the Mobbit from all the other MIDs out there is the use of a Windows XP operating system over a Linux OS, used for most MIDs.
Trigem's MID is going to be built on an Intel Atom Z520 processor, running at a core speed of 1.3GHz. It will combine 1GB of RAM memory with a choice of 30GB HDD or 16GB SSD to deliver decent performance level and storage. Additional features include built-in Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and WiBro, a 2MP web camera, DMB-T TV tuner and the US15W chipset known for supporting hardware video decoding.
This MID’s small 4.8-inch screen is able to render 1024 by 600 pixel images, very pleasant for using the Internet. The device itself measures 166 x 88 x 21mm and is expected to weigh 375g, basically providing almost everything required for a fast and on-the-go Internet connection, in a small and light weight form factor. Given its support for a hard disk drive, the Lluon Mobbit could easily be used as a portable media player.
It is expected to become available for the low price of $411 sometime in January 2009. Given the aforementioned specifications and price tag, the device has a real market potential as it will be listed at a price tag close to that of most high end PMPs, but coming to deliver the performance and specifications of a small PC.
