ASUS reveals T83 UMPC
One of the ASUS entries at CeBIT is the T83, a rare example of an ultra-mobile PC from the company. Its primary feature is a seven-inch touchscreen, which rotates 180 degrees to close over the keyboard and become a tablet. Inside is a 1GHz Via C7-M processor with 512MB of RAM (expandable to 2GB), running Windows XP Tablet at resolutions up to 800x480. A 30GB hard drive is included, and the machine also packs in a Bluetooth, WiFi, a webcam and a GPS receiver. Battery life is said to be six hours. A standard T83 will ship in the third quarter for $899 to $999, but ASUS is also working on a ruggedized version for industrial use. [via Engadget]
