New Archos 10s is ultra-compact
Archos debuts the new Archos 10s
Archos brought out a new model in its netbook range that seems to be just a slimmer Archos 10 - the Archos 10s. The "s" stands for Slim. At 22mm, the height of the new model is indeed one of the thinnest in the market, which is achieved by using a magnesium case, with a matt-silver clamshell sandwiching white interior panels.
The Archos 10s sports a 10.2” LED-backlit screen that has a resolution of 1,024 x 600 pixels. Powered by a 1.6GHz Atom N270 processor, this new member of the Archos family offers 1GB of RAM and a 160GB hard disk – the usual configuration you will find in any netbook, especially since Microsoft has kept this as a restriction for using its OS. There are three USB ports, a card reader and LAN port, as well as WiFi 802.11b/g as for wireless connection and a built-in 1.3-megapixel webcam. There's also a built-in 3G modem.
The Archos 10s will be available in July with a choice of two batteries - the 3-cell version will cost £320 ($520) and a 6-cell version will set you back by £350 (571).
