These days, the iPad has made tablets all the rage, but it’s easy to forget the convertible laptps and now Gigabyte has just released a new model that takes things to another level. The Gigabyte Booktop T1132N is a convertible notebook with a 1.6 GHz Intel Core i5 processor, an 11.6 inch, 1366 x 768 pixel capacitive multitouch display and discreet graphics.

Gigabyte ha a new ultra-portalbe out called the Q1105. This new Gigabyte has an 11.6 inch display, a slim case design, and an Intel Core 2 duo SU4100 low voltage processor. Netbook News recently got their hands on one and have posted a detailed review. In short, the keyboard is large and easy to type on,but the touchpad needs serious help. To start, it’s small and cramped, but also unresponsive, and awkwardly laid out. The notebook offers decent overall performance and runs for about 4.5 hours on a charge.

The new Gigabyte M1005 looks like a typical netbook at first glance,but there is a difference. You can close the lid and stand up the laptop in a docking station. What sets the M1005 apart from the original Booktop is that is has Intel’s new 1.5 GHz Intel Atom N550 dual core processor. The rest of the specs are pretty much the same, as is the overall design. Netbook News got a little hands-on time with the Booktop and you can check out the video after the break.
