Archos 9 tablet announced – it is a 9-inch tablet running Windows 7!
Archos has announced a 9-inch tablet, the Archos 9. Although it sports netbook-like specifications, but it is a nice attempt of reviving the UMPC-form factor, which is almost dead. It comes with an Intel Atom Z515 processor running at mere 1.2GHz, 80GB HDD, Bluetooth and DVB-T antennas and runs Windows 7. It is quite thin too (0.63-inch) and weighs just 800gm.
The new PC combines the performance of a high end PC with breathtaking aesthetics, excellent ergonomics and a tactile interface that ARCHOS has built their reputation on. Pure lines, extreme thinness (0.63”), less than 800g and a stunning black finish, the ARCHOS 9 pushes the boundaries of elegance and simplicity on a MiniPC, fulfilling all expectations of the most mobile users.Intuitive and easy to use, the ARCHOS 9 delivers an unrivalled user experience, and is set to replace the traditional computer. Without a physical keyboard, it provides a virtual keyboard, very easy to use on the the resistive touchscreen, and has an optical trackpoint to let you surf the web, communicate, work and entertain anywhere.
Commentary: Although not exactly a powerhorse, but it is a device to get the job done, although a bit slowly. Fortunately, Archos won’t be running Windows Vista in this.
