Computex: Gigabyte's MID, the M528

News
By published

There was definitely a theme this year when it came to Computex this year; mobility.

One of the devices we liked at the show was the Gigabyte MID M528. With a 4.8” LCD screen, the M528 weighs 340 grams, is 5.9 x 3.1 x .8 inches and is definitely built for maximum portability.

The M528 was right next to the M912 when it came to design. Tablet versions of UMPCs are not exactly a common occurrence so it was nice to see that kind of design on the M912. Similarly, the design for the M528 was a little different than what we’re used to. It sports a decent sized display with a slide out QWERTY keypad, which makes the whole thing more compact but just as easy to use compared to a larger device.

Unfortunately, there isn’t yet a price for the M528, however ccording to reports the MID M528 could end up costing over $1000. Australian importer, Tegatech has the MID listed at a price of $1,199, which would put it at about $1,150 USD.

    Oh the M912! Not the M528? Maybe a little background info on the devices would help paint a better picture. Model numbers mean nothing especially when the devices are brand new and not in stores.
