Gigabyte M912 has a new price tag?

Gigabyte has been teasing us with bits and pieces of information about its convertible M912 tablet PC for quite some time now. If you recall, we reported that one of its variant, the M912V was already released in Taiwan with an estimated retail price of around $892 US.
But new information about the M912 showed up via a Taiwanese poster at UMPC Fever. We learned that the Vista-powered M912V will actually have a suggested retail of around $656. It will also come with 1GB of RAM, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.
We also learned that another model, the M912X which will come with Windows XP will have a retail price of around $620. And finally another model, the M912M with lower resolution display of 1024 x 600 will have a retail of around $556. Aside from the lower resolution, the M912M will also not have Bluetooth, hence the lower price tag.
So for those still waiting for Gigabyte’s convertible tablet PC to hit the market, at least you will have three options to choose from once they become available.

Gigabyte releases the M912V Atom-powered notebook

Gigabyte has just released the M912V notebook in Taiwan. This tablet style notebook features a touch sensitive swivel LCD panel with a 1280x768 resolution, a 160GB 2.5-inch SATA hard drive,1GB of RAM, an express card slot, a 1.3-megapixel webcam, Wi-Fi, and even has an option for built-in HSDPA support.
The M912V would have been a good competitor to most of the netbooks around if not for its high price. This M912V is expected to retail for around $890 and it will come pre-installed with Windows Vista. Unfortunately for us, there are no words yet as to whether the M912V would be released internationally.
