POINT OF VIEW LAUNCHES MOBII SLIM THIN AND LIGHT NOTEBOOK

Point of View is known for the graphics cards and other components they make. But of late the company has forayed into the mini-laptop market with a few good netbooks including a 10 inch model with Nvidia ION. Now they are entering the thin and light segment with an 11.6 inch notebook.

The Point of View Mibii Slim ULV has an 11.6 inch display with 1366 x 768 pixels. It is powered by a dual core 1.2 GHz Intel Celeron CULV processor with integrated Intel GMA 4500MHD graphics. Other features include up to 2GB of RAM, a 250GB hard drive, Bluetooth, WiFi 802.11b/g/n and 1.3 mega pixel webcam. The 4-cell battery is rated at 4400mAh. The machine runs Windows 7 Home Premium.

Point of View Mobii ULV measures just 1.1 inch in thickness and weighs 3.3 pounds. It is now available in Germany for about 599 Euros or $875.

POINT OF VIEW RELEASES MOBII ION 230 NETBOOK

Point of View has released a Mobii ION 230 netbook based on Nvidia Ion platform. Unlike most other netbooks which are powered by N270/N280 processors, Mobii Ion 230 uses an Intel Atom 230 processor. The Atom 230 chip is more common in nettops than in netbooks.
