Gigabyte has quietly added a new Pinetrail netbook to their product pages. The T1000 series, which is the successor to the T1028 tablet netbook sporting an identical chassis but has a chiclet keyboard and comes in gold rather than brown.
There are two models: The T1000X has a single touch display, 4-cell 32.4Wh, 4500 mAh battery and weighs 1.3 kg / 2.9 pounds. The T1000P has a multi touch display, 6-cell 41Wh, 7650 mAh battery and weighs 1.48 kg / 3.3 pounds. There’s no mention of Windows 7 Home Premium for this model, but it’d have to ship with this OS to make sense.
Gigabyte T1000 Series Specs:
- 10.1” 1366 x 768 HD display
- Atom N450 / N470 processors
- Windows 7 Starter
- 1GB RAM

Other problems that were noticed include the lack of a sensor to detect screen orientation (as well as a lack of a button to achieve this also). Also the the mouse buttons look to be quite frustrating being either side of the touchpad rather than the traditional underneath that everyone will be used to.
Hopefully it’ll be fixed. More: http://bit.ly/gigabyte-t100-hands-on
