Netbook Navigator Introduces an Atom-Powered 'Ultrabook'
Slate PC maker Netbook Navigator has went with the Intel-conjured flow and released its own 'ultrabook', which it calls Nav13X. Just 0.6 inches thick, the Nav13X is slim as an ultrabook should be but hardware wise, it looks like a netbook since it makes use of 1.86 GHz Atom N2800 processor, and not an ULV Core Series CPU.
Beside the N2800, Netbook Navigator's 'ultrabook' features a 13.3-inch (1366 x 768) LED-backlit display, 2/4 GB of RAM, a 32/64/128 GB (1.8-inch) SSD, an SD card slot, 802.11 b/g/n WiFi, Bluetooth 2.1, a 1.3-megapixel webcam, dual speakers, a mini HDMI output, and a 4100 mAh battery. The Nav13X starts at $499.99 and can be purchased via this page.

Surely it can't even be called an ultrabook because of the Atom?
Wait what ?!
Intel had some heavy restrictions on their Atoms. Initially, they constrained the display size and resolution, hard drive capacity and amount of RAM that a netbook was allowed to have at the point of sale. Specific numbers here: www.slashgear.com/intel-atom-n470-comes-with-looser-netbook-spec-restrictions-2661827/ and here: www.netbooknews.com/3865/intel-ditching-atom-screen-size-restrictions-slightly/
And it's not even cheap. How lame.
Ludicrous!! is Atom really that bad it has trouble driving a 720p screen?
Reminds me of the tegra 2 in my phone tbh, as far as what it could handle on its own.
The new atoms aren't that much better. They just have better IGPs.
