Hands on: Gigabyte T1125N Core i3/i5 Netvertible

http://www.netbooknews.com Want a tablet and a notebook? Well there is a category in between where the notebook turns into a tablet, we fondly refer to it as the netvertible category. Gigabyte has been making these for a few generations now, their latest one being the most interesting. The 11.6 T1125 comes in 3 varieties the lowest version spec wise (T1125M) is aimed at the emerging markets, which ones we are still waiting to find out.

We got some hands on time with the T1125N which comes in Core i3 & i5 sporting NVIDIA GeForce 310M DDRIII 512MB and supports NVIDIA Optimus Technology. Connectivity wise we are looking at 1 USB 3.0, 2 x USB 2.0, esata, audio jacks, vga, 4 in 1 card reader & a port for the docking station which will house the DVD burner.

Getting online you've got a few options Bluetooth 2.1 if you want to tether, 802.11 b/g/n Wireless and a 3.5G module is optional but the antenna is already built in. The booktop docking station is what set Gigabyte notebooks apart, they have been playing around with various configurations as the M1305 & M1405 have a different style of docking station.

The important question that we should be asking right now is how much is this going to cost and when is it going to be available. Unfortunately there is no word but they are trying to get it for sale for Christmas but it sounds like we shouldn't hold our breath and CES is much more likely.

Below the video you'll find the spec sheet for the T1125N & T1125M. Here is the video showing off the 2 speakers and 2 subwoofers as well as the docking station in action.

what is the native resolution?

@esynodinos 1366x768

@DanitGeek I have the i5 model, using a 22" monitor on the dock, it works like a charm, not a single problem, out of the box and even plays eve online while chatting and netting about with no trouble. Perfect little companion for me.

Could be water proof and maybe have a stylus for art but short of that, brilliant.

I wish people would stop using different names for tablet pcs, it makes it impractical to find different model

[paulpm1974]

It's a pile of crap, 4 hours or less battery life, huge battery or not.

It needs a 12 cell battery, Nice free advatiseing for Gigabyte or did Gigabyte pay them ???

Byes.

[Genghoidal]

So it makes a pretty good mirror for fixing your hair too! :P

[gabrielpereca]

With the netbook+dock, can I use 2 external hdmi monitors??

[Chequelito14]

So is this better then the hp Tm2????

That's awesome, I've got a Dell m11x that's a year old with the Core 2 Duo which is great. But these are just totally different again. I've got an Ipad also which I like for portability and running remote desktop. But something that runs windows is portable. Can use it like an Ipad and even run windows based games and all the features is just great.

@Delanroth (Whoa, what's with the triple-post?)

From best to worst for inking with touchscreen digitizers:

-Active pen digitizer (Wacom, N-trig). This is the best you can possibly get. Precise, pressure-sensitive, doesn't react to your palm, and can co-exist with capacitive digitizers for fingers. Just don't lose the pen.

-Resistive digitizer + plastic toothpick stylus.

-Capacitive digitizer + capacitive stylus.

Trust me, if you want to ink, Wacom Penabled is the way to go.

Hi, does it contain a stylus pen? If yes, is a capacitive screen better for writing with pen than resistive? Thanks a lot.
