Remember the Mobinnova Beam smartbook we told you about awhile ago? It features Nvidia’s new Tegra 2 chipset and will allow for HD video and all day battery life. Well our buddies over at Slashgear found the new smartbook at Nvidia’s booth at CES and got a hands on demo.
They describe the operation as very smooth and fast (it’s a custom UI built on Windows CE) and the Tegra 2 has no problem with hi-def videos. An HDMI port is included for outputting HD videos to a tv or monitor.
When the Beam is launched later this year it’s going to be offered exclusively through AT&T (it has built in 3G) and should come at a fairly cheap subsidized price. Here are the full specs:
- Processor: ARM Cortex A9
- Graphics: Nvidia Tegra 2
- 12 hours battery life (estimated)
- 802.11 b/g wifi, Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR
- integrated UMTS/HSPA (850/1900/2100)
- display: 8.9″ 1024 x 600
