Robovie PC Robot
First of all, don’t be surprised to a robot news on Gadgetmix.com. We are not changing niches anytime soon. The reason why Robovie got mentioned on gadgetmix.com is the fact that this robo ‘netbook’ is powered by an Atom processor. Huh? This is actually not a robot, but a robot with netbook innards. It comes with an Intel Atom Z530 processor that runs at 1.6Hz, slightly faster than Z520 that comes in entry-level VAIO P (review). For OS, you can install either of these four operating systems: Windows XP, Vista, 7 or Linux.
A webcam resides in place of its ‘eyes’. It has 2 USB ports, LAN and VGA out. It is powered by a 2000mAh battery and it weighs 2.2kg. It is being priced at $4500 (including tax) (388800 yen!), it is made to burn a real good hole in your pocket.
The only thing that is robot-like in this machine is the fact that you can program its legs. For that you must use Windows as Linux is not supported. Its legs has high maneuverability and can adjust its height by bending his legs.
