Taiwanese electronics giant ECS has announced a new ultraportable notebook, the G10IL - and the good news is it actually brings something new to the table.

Certainly looks promising if its priced right

Krikkit · 21st Mar 2008, 10:45

That looks good, but as Mr. T says - it's all about the price, fool!

DXR_13KE · 21st Mar 2008, 11:24

i am also on the "if the price is right" wagon.

edit: any word on what cpu it has?

Akava · 21st Mar 2008, 12:30

Gotta love jumping on the band wagon

I have been considering getting something along these lines, possibly the HP version, because i think that the 7" screen of the Eee would be just too small for me, which is why i was uncertain even about the 8.9, but a 10.2 might be just about perfect. It just remains to descover the price of the little beasty.

My only beef with the Eee is that it's a hair too small, but this one just might be perfect. As everyone else has said, it's all going to hinge on the price.

According to Ubergizmo, its powered by an Intel Atom processor.

Any word on screen resolution?

I love this thing, i think the size its perfect, and the option of a ssd or regular one is great. I will be waiting a bit more before getting one, cause theres going to be a big fight in this field...
Pd: Sorry about my english..

im sold!

as long as it's under £400 and gets released before July (when i will be travelling a lot, so i planning to buy an ultra portable laptop then)

HourBeforeDawn · 22nd Mar 2008, 04:53

well now this looks good, if they can keep it under $500us then it will be well worth it and be a really strong contender

crazybob · 22nd Mar 2008, 05:27

It's a shame this looks so good, because my past experiences with the quality of ECS products mean I am completely unable to bring myself to buy one. I have been so dissatisfied with ECS that I would still get an Eee instead of this, even if this ends up costing half as much.

How will the HDSPA/GPRS work? SIM slot in the 'back' or something?

*doh*! I just remembered, you get a contract with the mobile provider and recieve a username and pass... How silly of me.
