Posted in Netbook by mrbgo - Sep 11, 2009

French pirates on the march … the manufacturer ARCHOS pushes himself with 4 new products in the low-cost mobile PC segment. So this Mutlimediaplayer one provider of UMPC with Windows 7, two and a subnotebook Netbook Apple MacBook in style wants to produce and develop in autumn 2009 the European market.

So far only had ARCHOS MP3 and video player in the offer, however, was always successful in recent years, adding features such as multimedia players and Internet Tablet Streminger client. Now would like to offer this French manufacturer also UMPC, two netbooks and subnotebooks.

ARCHOS 9pctablet
The ARCHOS 9pctablet corresponds to the original definition of UMPC (Ultra Mobile PC), but could by its interesting design and an attractive pricing policy (he is only 450 – 500 EUR cost) as the first product in its class to be successful. The previous UMPCs and MIDs are without complaint, and all failed so far proved to be a miserable business. That is also why we pirates have been tracked down any of it, it just made little sense.

But with a huge 9-inch display with 1024 x 600 pixels to work via the touch screen should be consistently possible if the ARCHOS features well-integrated. Basically, the ARCHOS 9pctablet the alternative to Apple’s netbook tablet. With a 1.2 GHz Intel Atom Z515 CPU performance is expected for Office and Internet to reach the rich and a discreet battery run time. WiFi, Bluetooth, UMTS and DVB-T tuner module are included, now really missing is a GPS receiver and we could finally renounce the compass here will have to take on board permanently. Times but now I’m seriously curious to see if it gets any ARCHOS bake the product in time for the Weinachtsgeschäft to bring the entire European market.

ARCHOS 10s netbook
ARCHOS is the first netbook probably not even perceived as optimally and immediately developed a new one. It is even at the atomic scale and with a 10 “display, but in light metal alloys produced to justify the higher price of 379 EUR consistently. Even the keyboard has been optimized during the design stands out because of the thin design.
