Telsda is a Chinese handset maker. But the company’s branching out into netbooks with a convertible touchscreen model that’s reminiscent of the Asus Eee PC T91 or Gigabyte TouchNote.
The Telsda netbook has a touchscreen display that and a swivel that lets you rotate the screen and fold it down over the keyboard. The tablet weighs 2.9 pounds and packs a 1.6GHz Intel Atom CPU, 1GB of RAM, a 160GB hard drive, and a 10.1 inch display.
It also has a VGA port, flash card reader, 1.3MP webcam and a 3G option. Netbooked reports it will sell for less than $300, although it’s not clear if that’s the base price or the price you’ll pay if you pick up a subsidized model from a Chinese telecom.
Leading Chinese handset manufacturer Telsda has just entered the market with a netbook. Coming in an attractive polished black finish with blossom motif, the key feature of this device is the screen that not only supports touch input, but is also able to rotate 180 degrees around a vertical axis.
The cylindrical protrusion at the rear of the device has been specially tooled to accommodate the battery. While this does increase the width of the unit a little, it is still a very portable device weighing in at only 1.3kg.
Another interesting feature is the dimpled trackpad, which has been designed to prevent sticky, jerky movements and offer smoother, more accurate control.
