Computex 08: Turion X2 powered


Of all the random things we spotted during a quick walk through the Nangang hall earlier today, we saw this tiny UMPC at AMD’s booth made by some Korean company, which was powered by a mobile Turion X2 TL-56 processor that was running at 895MHz, and it peaked our interest.

 

This super tiny machine didn’t quite manage to squeeze in a full QWERTY layout keyboard, but it’s near enough. Rather than using a standard touch pad or a track point it used a tiny metal touch pad that didn’t seem overly responsive, but it also had a touch screen display, just in case.

 

What’s really amazing is that AMD quoted us a battery life of about 2.5h for video and over 3h of office usage, off a single cell battery. Feature-wise, it’s not too bad, either, with 1GB of RAM, of which some is shared with the integrated ATI graphics.

It also has three USB 2.0 ports, a mini FireWire port, a front-mounted memory card reader, a D-sub connector and a built in Webcam of some sort, a headphone and mic jack and, of course, WiFi and Bluetooth.

 

It turns out that AMD powers one of the smallest UMPCs we’ve seen so far at the show, but we’re not sure it’s all that usable unless you have tiny fingers.
