Gigabyte to launch 3 new Netbooks in Second Quater in 2009

The Gigabyte is planning to launch 3 new netbooks in the second quarter this year. Out of 3 netbooks, two will be manufactured by Quanta, which is a popular manufacturer of notebooks and Windows Mobile smartphones. All three netbooks are rumored to have prices around $400, although the folks at Gigabyte are trying to get one of them at around $300 for the emerging markets.

I hope the netbooks made by Quanta won’t have hardware problems like the MWG had with the Atom Life. I have personally owned Atom Life once and had to sell it at a ridiculously low price. Not only me, but countless people complained about the hardware issues of Atom Life and the original Atom (then known as O2 Atom).
