September 03, 2008 — IDG News Service —
Chinese PC vendor Tsinghua Tongfang announced its new S1 iMini series, a family of netbooks with 10.2-inch screens that have a Microsoft Windows Vista Home Basic OS or a Linux OS.
The devices also carry 1.6GHz Via C7-M microprocessors, an important design win for Via Technologies of Taiwan. The company has had a tough time battling Intel for market share in the mini-laptop, or netbook segment.
Intel launched the Atom microprocessor earlier this year, scooping up several major design wins, including in Asustek Computer's Eee PC 1000, 1000H and 901, Acer's Aspire one, Lenovo's S-series netbooks, and Micro-Star International's Wind.
Via's biggest customer for netbook microprocessors so far is Hewlett-Packard, with its Mini-Note.
But at a cost of 3998 Chinese yuan (US$586), Tsinghua Tongfang's new netbook appears pricey for the Chinese market.
The specifications of the device are similar to most netbooks, a low-power microprocessor, 1G-byte of DRAM, an 80G-byte hard disk drive, 1.3-megapixel Web cam and either a 3-cell or 6-cell battery.
It is a bit different in offering the Vista OS, although HP's Mini-Note does as well, and Tsinghua's includes a few extra features such as a business card manager, MP3 digital music player, digital photo frame and DVD playback functionality.
Tsinghua Tongfang is positioning the netbook to compete as a standard laptop, according to Li Jianhang, vice president and general manager of the company's computer group.
