MID 7Inch

The 7” version comes with an option of an Intel or a Via processor. The one with Via is powered by the VIA VT8430x ARM926EJ-S (250 MHz) DSP (200MHz) dual-core processor and supports Windows CE 5.0 or Linux as OS. 1GB of flash memory and 128MB of DDR2 memories are what this device will offer you. It has a better life than the 5” version obviously with the 2100mAh Lithium battery, which adds to the weight of this 7” MID of 650gm.

The Intel variant is similar to the Via one except the obvious - t uses the N270, for your kind information, along with the Intel 945GSE+ICH7-M chipset. It has the same memory and storage as the Via variant. It is run by a 2-cell 3000mAh polymer Lithium battery (7.4V). The Intel version is slightly heavier and bigger than the Via one with a weight of 700gm and a dimension of L 205 x W130 x H20.8mm
