Saycool M5A

Sinchum has launched a new MID, M5A which sports Intel Atom Z515 1.2GHz processor and 5-inch WVGA display. It comes with built-in GPS and 3G radio. The company claims 3 hours of runtime from its 1900mAh battery and has not told the media when would this MID hit the market.

Now, here is a feature that we are unsure of – the company says that it can double as a phone too! Who wants to put a huge brick on their greasy face?

More pictures of the Pegatron tablet

The Pegatron tablet was unveiled at CES 2010 that is powered by the Atom N450 processor. This slate PC features a multi-touch 11.6-inch display, 1GB RAM and 32GB of solid state goodness. There are two USB ports on its left side sitting along with the power port. There are no ports at all on the right side of it.

It even packs in an HDMI port and runs Windows 7 Home Premium OS.

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.
