Nicole from Netbook News got a chance to check out the new Gigabyte T1005M. She was generally impressed with the machine, but did mention that the 7650mAh battery is rather large and unwieldy in the back, and the touchpad is awfully small.

Readers in the states can pre-order the Gigabyte T1005M today from Amazon for $599.99. The rest of you will have to wait, but can check out Nicole’s hands-on video after the break.
