My TouchNote 1028X March 9, 2010
Becketo (Kashiwa, Chiba Japan)
I have an iPhone 3G so when I saw the iPad I thought this is something I would like to have. But I didn't like the fact
that I had no access to Flash. Although Apple has execellent resolution on their products I wanted something more than a glorified pad. So I started looking for touch pads but I wanted Internet access and the ability to run my office programs.
I live in Japan and I wanted my manuals and OS in English. PC Micro Store did not want to ship it to Japan and cancelled my order.
And I would have given less stars, but I had it shipped to FBC USA INC,Gardenia, California in which it was delivered to me in Japan and it only took 3 days to get to my door just outside of Tokyo.
I was a bit apprehensive knowing I was taking a big chance that the product might not be what I expected. The surprise was it lived up to my expectations and more. I ordered the ram upgrade but I intend to go with Windows 7 Ultimate since I need access to the Japanese language having some Japanese software. I was also thinking SSD. No moving parts better battery and hardly any heat from this hard drive.
The resolution is great if not excellent. The sound with headsets is a great joy I think real stereo. There is a bit of a learning curve for the touch screen. Battery life is 5-6 hours if you have proper power management. You really can't go wrong with this TouchNote and the Gigabyte site is pretty comprehensive. I really like this product and I like the brown color which I think is a touch of class. (With battery attached 8in wide 10.5" long and 1.5" thick about 3lbs) The best feature is being able to upgrade memory and hard drive.
The Gigabyte Touchnote is a Great product March 1, 2010

I have had the TouchNote for a couple of weeks. It is everything I had hoped for. The screen is good (but not as crisp and clear as my MacBook). It runs app quite well. I really wanted this thing for the touch screen capabilities and these are awesome. I can use the paint tool in Corel Photopaint and it is much better than using a mouse or a touchpad device like Wacom Bamboo. It is like you are really painting. I find myself intuitively clicking with the touch screen rather than the mouse. I thought I would mount a stylus because they are very useful when the pointing has to be more precise than a finger affords. Then I noticed there was one built in. The notebook is very light and the battery lasts forever. There are some built-in apps that are very useful, e.g., an on screen keyboard (for when you have the keyboard folded under for use as a tablet) and a rotator that changes the screen from portrait to Kindle-like landscape. I plan to use this for travel and for image analysis. It is so much easier to draw an ROI directly on an image, rather than using a mouse or external pad. This is a great computer and may see more use than my MacBook. The MacBook overall is nicer, but it doesn't have a touch screen, and is heavier. I was hoping the iPad would be more of a computer than it is. Once I saw how limited it is, I got the TouchNote. 5 STARS baby!
Excellent Netbook in every way. January 13, 2010

As a software engineer I am VERY picky about the hardware I use, and the Gigabyte T1028 is truly fantastic. I immediately replaced the supplied Windows 7 Starter edition with Windows 7 Professional, using the supplied driver disk to update hardware drivers. The installation went flawlessly.
In no particular order, here is a list of positive features:
. The T1028 runs very quickly and smooth. Quite responsive.
. The tablet-style touch screen is nearly perfect.
. The display quality is excellent!
. The built-in card reader is very convenient for data transfer.
. USB ports on left and right side is quite convenient.
. Works perfectly with my Logitech VX Nano wireless mouse and external DVD drive.
. The keyboard, though small as it must be, is easy to type on.
. The T1028 is well built...I take it in an out of my car every day and it shows no sign of scratches, loose hinges, etc.
The only minor "con" is that the built-in speaker is low quality - however what can you expect in a Netbook? The audio from the headphone jack is quite sufficient and sounds fine.
Highly recommended!
Best alternitive to an Ebook reader ! January 11, 2010

No offense to Amazon and their Kindle EBook reader but I much rather have 1 device that does more then 1 thing and this GIGABYTE Tablet does in fact perform that. If anyone does the math, an EBook reader no matter how many Bells and Whistles it may have, only performs 1 function and that is to have the user READ a book in electronic format. Many of us read our books and magazines in the most common and some strangest places. This Touch Tablet was bought by me for a friend that was stuck on getting a Kindle. My friend has certain needs and based on those needs, I recommended this. He is a Casual game player, a fan of Bigfish games. He likes to surf the internet and do his email. He has MP3's and is an [...] listener. The T1028 performs this and many other functions but you have to weigh the pros and cons yourself. The most important compelling reason that I chose this over most netbooks or touch tablets is the fact that it has a SIM card slot for wireless communication. Not many others have this function. Hope this helps.
