Packard Bell’s 10-Inch Liberty Tab Honeycomb Tablet Introduced

Packard Bell, the company that was one of the major computer manufacturing players back in the 90’s, is trying to make a big comeback. Yes, PB is here again! and it’s adding yet another Android device to the overcrowded tablets market. But I don’t think you should have too high an expectation, after all we’re only talking about one of those re-badged slates, so nothing new besides this Liberty Tab name – it maintains look and specs that one can get for $450 when buying Acer’s Iconia A500 tablet. That having been said, if you’re still into the 10-incher slob, you can get yours for an undetermined price, somewhere around June. Meanwhile, you can hit the jump and catch up with the hands-on video, courtesy of Notebook Italia.

Packard Bell Dot S4 netbook Pops Up in the Boot-Shaped Land

It’s been a while since we’ve last heard anything from Packard Bell in regards to netbooks, but despite that, the brand has grown substantially in recent months and today it gets another new member to the oh-so-beautiful group. The culprit, also known as the DOT S4, doesn’t have any official word about price or availability, but even so, boasts a 10.1-inch display along Intel’s Atom N450 processor, up to 2GB of RAM, 160/250GB hard drive and GMA 3150 for the graphics. Other than that, you get inside, a 802.11b/g/n WiFi, a 6-cell battery and a copy of Windows 7 Home Starter edition, to handle things around. Video after the break.

Packard Bell To Launch "dot" Netbook Around November

1 Comment

They say, if you don’t have your own netbook brand you don’t exist, and for some reason I tend to believe this allegation, otherwise, how can you explain the joining of Packard Bell to the overcrowded market, with their latest “dot” netbook, which unsuprisingly looks similar to the other gang fellows (particularly the Acer Aspire One), packing an 8.9-inch 1024 x 600 display and the usual Intel Atom N270 processor. Well, don’t think too hard, you’ve guessed it right, it comes with 1GB of RAM, a 6-cell battery, 5-in-1 card reader, a built-in webcam and Windows XP on board. But wait, there’s something exceptional, the new “dot” has a 160GB hard-drive capacity, which is bigger than the average size. Anyway, if this is the lappy that makes it for you, it should be Available in Europe around November, priced at €399 ($580).
