Gigabyte M912M (Retail) arrived. Live testing later today.

Posted on 29 September 2008, Last updated on 11 November 2019 by

nb_productimage_m912_bigA quick note to all of you waiting for the low-down on the M912M (LED-backlit version of the M912X.) A retail version has arrived here from Mobilx and I’ll be testing it out this evening.

We need to find out.

1) If the screen is brighter and has better contrast. (Likely)

2) How much more battery life we get compared to the M912X (Estimated 10-20%)

3) If it’s cooler than the M912X (probably will be in tablet mode.)

I’ll be live on UMPCPortal.com/live from about 2000 CEST (GMT+2)

Product details available here.

    glad im not the only one that had the idea.

    to bad that gigabyte seems to have dropped the idea of a low end linux running model…

    Please check if HDD is as fast as the one in X.

    I can’t get to the live feed from behind the school firewall. Please comment on anything that has changed between the 912X/V and M in terms of build quality. I’m looking forward to the heat readings!

    Also, please put up the live session for watching later, like you did with the first one. What do you think about comparing the Acer Aspire One to the 912M in terms of build quality?
