Archos 9 finally available

Archos 9 is now finally available in the market. It is one of the first tablets in the market that come with Microsoft’s Windows 7 OS. Archos 9 has a 8.9-inch LED backlit 1024 x 600 resolution and comes with 60GB hard disk with the option to opt for the higher capacity 120GB hard disk. At 500 euro, it may be a bit expensive, but then it is not a netbook. It is a tablet with netbook-innards. How? Because it runs Atom Z510 processor that runs at 1.1GHz clock speed. It also has 1.3MP webcam, Bluetooth 2.0+EDR and WiFi. Its Lithium-ion battery should give you a run time of 5 hours.

That said, we think it is big and heavy to carry around. Weighing 800 grams and having a big screen won’t be easy as carrying a netbook where the screen is always protected by its lid.
