Netbook Navigator is not just your average manufacturer or retailer, actually going by the auto-proclaimed state of a specialty direct-to-consumer retailer that keeps track of all newly released mobile tech devices in order to find the best and refine the best of the best. At the Consumer Electronics Show, the company debuted its 8.9-inch Netbook Navigator 891A-NN Tablet PC, the one pictured above to the left.
This is
quite a simple and full-featured netbook in a tablet form factor, included with a multi-touch screen and deprived of a physical keyboard, but I guess you won't mind this lack, since it probably has an on-screen one.
Even better than the above is the smaller version of it that still packs all the features and comes in the form of a tablet PC running Windows 7 Starter Edition, on an Intel Atom 1.1GHz Z510 processor, namely a 7" version, model 701A-NN. However, there seems to be something not right with the technical details on the official webpage, since it mentions the Intel 945GSE and 950GMA chipsets of the Atom N-series platform, rather than the Z-series' Menlow platform with the GMA500.
Rest of the
technical information sums up 1GB of DDR2 RAM, a 32GB SSD, integrated 3G, b/g WiFi and Bluetooth 2.0 along a 1.3MP webcam, two USB ports, miniSD/MMC card support, SIM card slot, stereo headphones out and line-in, as well as built-in stereo speakers and a 2200mAh battery that is claimed to have a lifespan of four hours on a single charge. The 7-inch resistive touchscreen is multi-touch enabled, and sports a resolution of 800 x 480 pixels, and along with the other components, is packed in a 7.1 x 4.5 x 0.7-inch chassis that weighs just a tad under 700 grams.
