We described the Lluon Mobbit MID, back in December, as a bargain: a roughly $400 price-tag for a 4.8-inch touchscreen, 1.3GHz Intel Atom Z520 processor, 1GB of RAM, a choice of 30GB HDD or 16GB SSD and WiFi, Bluetooth and WiBro. Something seems to have gone wrong in the weeks since then, however; TG Sambo have finally announced pre-order pricing in Korea, and for the basic model (which lacks WiBro) they’re now asking 799,000 won ($575).
Trigem (TG), Averatec’s parent company, have taken the wraps off of their latest MID, the 4.8-inch touchscreen Lluon Mobbit.

Specs include the 1.3GHz Intel Atom Z520 processor, 1GB of RAM, a choice of 30GB HDD or 16GB SSD and WiFi, Bluetooth and WiBro.

Grunt is courtesy of an Intel Atom 1.1GHz or 1.3GHz processor paired up with 512MB or 1GB of RAM.
Here’s a blast from the past: Toshiba has dusted off the Libretto name and slapped it onto a 7.2-inch netbook. This Libretto U100 is a limited edition intended to commemorate the 20th anniversary of Toshiba notebook sales, and carries through much of the original Libretto range’s blocky styling. However they’ve also given the U100 Wibro, to bring it right up to date.
