The T1006 will feature an LED backlit 10.1-inch display which outputs at 1366 x 768, an unspecified Intel Atom processor (we presume this will be dual-core), there will also be Intel GMA 3650 graphics, WiFi b/g/n, Bluetooth 2.1 +EDR, an optional 3G radio, VGA out, HDMI out, 1 x USB 3.0 port, 1 x USB 2.0 port and one combo USB/eSATA port.

You can see the user manual here, it clearly shows that there is also a webcam, microphone, a memory card slot, a touchpad, built-in speakers, Ethernet, a headphone jack and a microphone jack. We can also confirm that there will be just 1 x DDR3 slot (support for 4GB of RAM), an unspecified SATA HDD and Windows 7 (actual version is unclear, but we presume Starter).

In terms of size and weight we are told to expect dimensions of 265 x 214 x 41.4mm and with its battery fitted it will weigh roughly 1.48kg. It is by no means light and dainty and in our opinion the design looks dated already (see these pics). Obviously it was never going thin due to the mechanism which allows the display to flip over, but things like the protruding battery (see below) make you think you’re looking at a product which arrived a few years ago.

We currently have no idea of pricing and release date details, therefore we will keep you posted as we hear more, hopefully then we will find out what processor it’s rocking as this could potentially make or break this netvertible.

Is this the worst-looking netbook of 2011?

This motherboard is called the Gigabyte Z68XP-UD3-iSSD (yes, iSSD stands for integrated-SSD), it features an Intel 20GB SLC SSD thanks to its mSATA slot, this means that people will be able to install their preferred operating system without having to purchase a separate storage device, neat eh?

Other specs can be checked out via this image, to summarize the LGA1155 CPU socket supports second-gen Intel Core processors and the four DDR3 RAM slots allow for up to 32GB of memory. Most of the other slots / ports are what you would expect from a motherboard of this calibre, yes, that does mean there is both USB 3.0 and SATA 3 ports.

If you do not want the integrated SSD you can buy the Gigabyte Z68XP-UD3, this features the mSATA slot, however it is empty. You can see a full gallery of images and find out more about this impressive motherboard over at Engadget, currently we have no idea of pricing or a release date, therefore we will have to keep you posted.

Do you think other motherboard manufacturers will copy this idea? Do you have any concerns? Let us know in the comments section below.

According to Shane McGlaun over at slashgear.com, the Gigabyte Booktop M2432 notebook – the follow up to the Booktop M1405 – is powered by an Intel Core i5 processor with Turbo Boost 2.0 for extra power (when needed), and comes with a 14-inch, LED-backlit screen with a resolution of 1366 x 768.

The M2432, which measures 27.6mm and weighs 1.81kg, also comes with a USB 3.0 port, a chiclet design keyboard, a multi-touch trackpad, THX TruStudio Pro, an integrated HD 3000 GPU that supports HD video and a slim optical drive inside a FlexiBay.

However, one of the coolest features of the Gigabyte Booktop M2432 notebook is the included docking station, which comes with a built in NVIDIA GT 440 GPU with 1GB of DDR5 RAM, six USB ports, D-Sub, DVI and HDMI out. Users also have the ability to connect it up to 2 external monitors.

Unfortunately there has been no word on pricing or availability at this stage, but we’ll keep you updated if we do hear anything. Do you like the sound of the Gigabyte Booktop M2432 notebook?

This is a world first, but we have to wonder why it has taken so long, as there will be huge benefits? The motherboard in question is called Gigabyte Z68XP-UD3-iSSD and will offer an increase in system performance, but there will also be a number of other advantages. Maybe we could decide to use this to store our operating system on, and then all other programs can use your standard hard drive, as SSD is still an expensive option?

We should learn more during Computex 2011, but if you visit the official Gigabyte website you get to see just what the new motherboard is all about. There will be a number of built-in visuals, such as Intel Quick Sync Video, Intel InTru™ 3D, Intel Insider and more. What users will like the most is how they can modify their BIOS settings much easier than ever before.

If this motherboard is a little too much for you, then there are another four new models to consider: GA-Z68XP-UD3, GA-Z68XP-D3, GA-Z68AP-D3 and the GA-Z68P-DS3. All of these still offer a great number of features, but they do lack Intel SSD built-in. These five new motherboards certainly makes those from MSI and ASUS look a little dated. Do you think that this is something that you will use?

This news we have for you is of a new wireless laser mouse from Gigabyte called the ECO600 which has just appeared FCC suggesting the device will soon be released. This tiny mouse has a 2.4GHz adapter and Gigabyte is promising a years’ worth of clicking before having to change the included pair of AAs.

It features adjustable resolutions buttons so cycling through them is made easy. The resolutions available are 1600, 1200 and 800 DPI depending on what you prefer, extended battery life or better accuracy.

For a closer look at the laser mouse check out the article over at Engadget by clicking the link where they also feature a gallery of photos of the device both inside and outside.

Are you looking to get a wireless mouse? Does this one interest you? Let us know what you think in the comments below.

The notebook has 15.6″, Full HD display and has Nvidia Optimus graphics switching technology. The notebook, being specially designed for gaming, uses a Nvidia GeForce GT 550M 2GB graphics card which means that games can run smoother with and look great.

The notebook uses 2nd Generation Intel Core i7 quad-core processors for super-fast processing alongside 4GB RAM and it will include a 500GB 7200RPM drive for plenty of user storage. It features 4 speakers and subwoofer while utilizing THX Tru Sound Pro technology which should deliver great sound quality.

Finally we can confirm that it features two USB 3.0 ports for quick data transfer. Unfortunately we are still waiting for a release date and price, therefore we will have to keep you posted. We imagine that Gigabyte will offer a range of optional upgrades so prices will probably vary quite a lot/

What do you think of the specs?

E2100-powered motherboards should start hitting the market in the next few months, a lot of computer hardware manufacturers are keen to adopt this technology and use it in their high-end gaming motherboards, Gigabyte has officially announced the new G1-Killer Gaming Series motherboards which include the G1.Assassin, G1.Guerrilla and G1.Sniper, all of which feature Bigfoot Networks’ impressive intelligent and high-performance integrated network card.

ASUS and MSI will also feature the Killer E2100 networking platform in some of their gaming motherboards, details are scarce at present, however we do know that the ASUS ROG Rampage III Black Edition will be one of the first E2100-powered motherboards on the market.

Engadget suggest that more E2100-powered motherboards will be unveiled soon, hopefully with details regarding pricing and availability, we will certainly keep you informed as we find out more.
