The 9” MiniPC Tablet will see ARCHOS once again push the limits of design, form and function with the device weighing around 0.8kg and measuring just 17 mm thick. The 9” MiniPC Tablet is set to be one of the thinnest and lightest full-function MiniPCs in its class. Not withstanding its small size, the tablet will feature hard drive options of 60 to 160GB and feature the Intel Atom processor Z5xx series and Intel System Controller Hub.
Both new MiniPCs will integrate ARCHOS’ rich entertainment content and multimedia features including high definition video playback, VOD, and digital TV reception. The performance and compatibility of the Intel Atom processor will enable ARCHOS’ products to deliver a highly responsive, full Internet experience in even slimmer form factors.
In addition to adopting the Intel Atom processor for its MiniPC product line in 2009, ARCHOS is excited to be working with Intel on future MiniPC Tablets based on Intel’s next generation platform codenamed Moorestown and scheduled to launch by 2010. The performance and compatibility of the Moorestown platform will make it possible for ARCHOS to continue to innovate with smaller, thinner form factors while continuing to grow the capabilities of its devices.
Henri Crohas, Founder and CEO of ARCHOS stated, "Working closely with Intel, we are delivering our next generation ultra-light and ultra-thin MiniPC products by combining the impressive performance and internet compatibility of the Intel Atom processor with our advances in Internet Media Tablets. These products will blend the computing horsepower of a laptop with the rich multimedia experiences that ARCHOS has come to be known for. We are setting the path with these industry leading products.”
“The Intel Atom processor brings high performance to smaller designs while delivering a rich multimedia and Internet experience,” said Anand Chandrasekher, Intel Corporation senior vice president and general manager of the company’s Ultra Mobility Group. “We are excited to be working with ARCHOS, one of the leaders in the portable media market segment, to deliver a range of mobile products that enable users to extend and enjoy PC-rich multimedia and Internet experiences on-the-go.”
