Can’t make up your mind when it comes to a tablet device or a netbook? Why not settle for the best of both worlds with the Gigabyte T1000P? This 10.1″ touchscreen tablet/netbook hybrid features 1,366 x 768 resolution which is much higher than other displays it size that normally offer 1,024 x 600 resolution. It is now up for pre-order from Amazon at $699 a pop inclusive of shipping – definitely not cheap when you consider its other hardware specifications that aren’t anything to shout about. We’re talking about an Intel Atom N470 1.83GHz processor, 1GB RAM and a 250GB hard drive with Windows 7 Starter Edition as the operating system of choice. Shipping is said to commence on July 1st, so you might just be able to parade it around at cookouts in time for Independence Day this year.
