MIUtech Hybrid hybrid dual portable computer -Redesigned

MIUtech has come out with a freshly updated and redesigned version of its HDPC (hybrid dual portable computer) that features an ARM-powered Windows CE cellphone plus a miniature PC that runs Windows XP. The initial designs for this device were not up to the mark and sorry to say looked a bit ugly. Now, MIUtech’s HDPC has got a pleasant makeover. The cellphone is driven by an ARM9 processor and has an external 2.4-inch 320 x 240 AMOLED display and numeric keypad. The miniature PC on the other hand is powered by an Intel Atom 1.6GHz Z530 processor and has a 4.8-inch 1024 x 600 touchscreen with a full QWERTY keyboard. Other features include:

Windows XP operating system

·         32GB (or larger) SSD

·         1GB of RAM

·         WiFi

·         USB (both host and device)

·         GPS

·         MicroSD card slot

·         T-DMB (unlikely to make it out of Asia)

·         HDMI

·         HD audio outputs

·         Three cameras (5MP for photography, external and internal VGA cameras for video calls)

·         Dimensions: 6.06 x 2.95 x 0.91 inches

·         Weight: 10.3oz

There are rumors that this model will sell for $500 for a basic unit and $900 for the premium version. We will have to just wait and watch.
