Netbook News

Samsung has developed an 18.5 inch, 1366 x 768 pixel display that can run on just 6.3W of power — which it can draw from two normal USB ports. That means you could plug the display into a desktop PC without bothering to run yet another cable to your wall jack or power strip, which probably already crowded enough as it is.

What I’d really like is to see a display like this that you could throw in a bag and carry with you along with a netbook or even a small nettop so that you could assemble a fully functional battery powered computer in a coffee shop, at the library, or in another location without relying on wall jacks at all.

The display has a 1,000:1 contrast ratio and 250 cd/m² brightness.

Ablecom Technology plans to showcase the HEC-13 Intel Atom powered nettop at Computex next week. Spec-wise, this little desktop PC looks like standard fare. It has a 1.66GHz Intel Atom D510 dual core processor, integrated Intel GMA 3150 graphics, and up to 2GB of memory, and a 2.5 inch hard drive bay.

But design-wise it’s… well, interesting. I can’t decide whether the lines along the outside of the lastic case are designed to be stylish or if there’s actually part of the nettop’s cooling system. I imagine it’s an acquired taste.

On the bright side, there are a ton of ports on this guy, including a total of 6 USB 2.0 ports, mic and headphonejacks both on the front and back, VGA output, a 10/100/1000 LAN port, and even 2 PS/2 connectors for a mouse and keyboard. The nettop also sports 6 channel audio.

There’s room for an optional WiFi module and you can plug in a WiFi antenna on the back of the unit. If you don’t need WiFi, you could use the Mini-PCIe slot for something else, I suppose.The nettop will be available with Windows XP or Linux, although it can also handle Windows 7.
