UMID’s Tiny Mbook Netbook Gets Measured, Weighed And Priced

umid mbook UMIDs Tiny Mbook Netbook Gets Measured, Weighed And Priced

Remember that no named Netbook we brought you back in November of last year?  Today, it got a bit more official with a name and pricing.

At just 6-inches long, .7-inches wide and .7 lbs, UMID’s mBook is almost small enough to forget that it’s in your back pocket.  Under the hood is your choice of a 1.1 or 1.3Ghz Intel Atom processor, 1GB of DDR2 RAM and up to 32GB of storage courtesy of an SSD.  The 4.8-inch touchscreen will surely lead to neck cramp or two, but I’m impressed with the pixel count: 1024×600.  And the mBook isn’t short on connectivity or communication features.  In addition to the 1.3MP webcam, its got HSDPA, Bluetooth, WiBro (Korean WiMax) and a digital TV tuner with antenna.

The mBook from UMID starts at $465, although a US or UK release have yet to be announced, if ever.

Grew up back East, got sick of the cold and headed West. Since I was small I have been pushing buttons - both electronic and human. With an insatiable need for tech I thought "why not start a blog focusing on technology, and use my dislikes and likes to post on gadgets."
