What does it take to make Sony's Vaio P even more appealing? How about taking the Atom, the Windows and the Sony out of the system altogether and then you will have something like the ECS T800 notebook, which is currently on display at Computex. Although the device is not fully functional, it does make a stand through its elegant design and overall performance features.
This gadget, which weighs in at just 800 grams, is to be married with an Android operating system and a low-power non x86 processor.
The technical specs on this little ultraportable computer system are impressive, featuring support for your choice of an 800MHz OMAP3 3440 or 1GHz OMAP3 3450 Texas Instruments processors. Additional features include 512MB of memory, a pair of Mini-PCIe slots for WWAN cards and a choice for a 2.5-inch hard disk or SSD. As for connectivity, we have a minimum of two USB 2.0 ports, a 4-in-1 card reader and an audio jack. All that inside a system that measures 246 x 121 x 20-mm.
If that is not good enough for your taste, then be sure to take a look at the system's overall design, which strikes a remarkable resemblance to the aforementioned Sony Vaio P ultraportable laptop. In addition, for all you mobile enthusiasts out there, it looks as if this new system could be offered with an Android operating system, providing you with a bit of both the smartphone and netbook segments.
Unfortunately, the ECS T800 is currently a non-functional device and the above mentioned specifications could be modified in the occurrence of an upcoming official release. Nevertheless, the T800 shows you what you can do when you eliminate Intel's Atom platform from the equation.
