Malata ‘Canoe Lake’ Intel netbooks
Back in April we talked about Malata Chinese netbooks using NVIDIA Tegra 2 chips. At Computex 2011 we see two Intel designed new netbooks made by Malata. They are both Canoe Lake Malata prototypes.
One of these Canoe Lake netbooks is a standard 10.1-inch netbook with either Atom N2600 or N2800 processor. It’s refered to as Canoe Lake 10″ at this point. It has either 16GB or 32GB SSD, 1GB or 2GB DDR3 RAM. Display is 1024 x 600, GMA 3150 GPU and Windows 7 are pre-installed. For connectivity it has VGA, 2x USB 2.0, Bluetooth, 2-in-1 card reader, audio jacks and b/g/n WiFi. What’s really nice about this netbook is how thin it is. This netbook is 14 mm thin. It’s also super light, but I have no weight specs at the moment. Another shocking thing of this prototype is that as thin as it is this Canoe Lake netbook can play 720p video and battery lasts for over 5 hours. Its nice to see such super thin netbook actually perform. Also, Intel designed this netbook in-house. The price tag should read $399 and we’re expecting this Canoe Lake netbook to be out in September.
Second netbook is Windows 7 convertible with 11.6-inch screen touch screen. Reference model is PC-B1101. This tablet/netbook is much heavier at 1.2kg, although standard is around 1.5kg. Thickness of this netbook is 24.5 mm. It has a 1.3MP webcam and Hard drive is 2.5″ SATA base of 160GB storage. More space is an option. Connectivity will be taken care of by 3G, Bluetooh and b/g/n WiFi. We also have VGA / HDMI ports. PC-B1101 runs on Intel CedarView N2600 and N2800.
