No matter how many “t”s you put in it, the next evolution in useful ultramobility will be a net enabled tablet PC, like Gigabyte’s new M192. For just under $900 you get a netbook looking device with an 8.9” LCD running at 1280×768 that can flip back to be completely level with the keyboard, thus earning it the tablet moniker. A 1.6GHz Atom, 1GB DDR2-533 and Intel’s Graphics Media Accelerator 950 provide the power and a 5,400-RPM 160GB platter drive give you plenty of storage space and keeps the price down. The Tech Report took this 3lb system out for a spin, which lasted slightly longer than 2 hours and kept them interested the whole time.
