Gigabyte M528 makes the Eee PC look fat

If you thought the Eee PC was small, take a look at what Gigabyte has managed to cram into the titchy M528.

Measuring a mere 152×80x23mm this little internet surfer is actually a fully grown PC in child-size clothes. Inside there’s an 800MHz Intel Atom chip and 512MB of RAM and although it comes pre-loaded with Linux it can run full fat Windows XP at a push.

UMPCPortal managed to get its mitts on one and has been putting it though its paces. The verdict? Not too shabby.

Playing some streamed MP3 files over Wi-Fi using a Java applet running in the Firefox 3 based browser, it managed to keep going for three hours 35 minutes. According to maths that are much too complicated for us, that works out at a power consumption of just 2.8W.
