Gigabyte’s notebook division has unveiled a few details on its new 11.6-inch convertible notebook that will be launched at Computex, alongside the first picture of the M1125.
Gigabyte has gone for an unspecified Core i processor in the M1125. They have also added USB 3.0 connectivity, which is slowly becoming a popular feature on notebooks. The only other ports that can be seen from the picture Gigabyte sent out is a D-sub connector, a docking port intended for a “innovative docking station that includes an optical disk drive”, an Ethernet port and a couple of front audio jacks. It also has a webcam, and Gigabyte has jumped on the chicklet type keyboard trend. The screen does of course feature touch technology, but again, we don’t have any details as to exactly what type of touch screen Gigabyte is using.
Here’s the press release….
