HCL MiLeap MH 04 coming to India
Aug 25th
Indian netbook buyers have something to look forward to as computer company HCL has vowed to bring the MSI Wind to Indian shores but, it will be packaged as the “MiLeap MH 04″. HCL are hoping to maximise on the appeal of netbooks and to enhance their range which includes lower end laptops and a high end mini tablet PC.
HCL currently produce the MiLeap S, L, and X series of laptops which are low cost, priced from under $330 for this basic low end, 900Mhz Celeron laptop and the MiLeap V Series which is a mini tablet running Vista on a 7 inch display (same size as the MiLeap S,L and X series but with higher screen resolution). The V series costs $820.
The MiLeap MH04/MSI WInd that HCL are introducing in India will use the Atom CPU (1.6GHz) and will come with a decent sized hard drive at 80gb and 1gb of memory. The display will be 10.2 inches with a good resolution of 1024×600 pixels.
The cost of a MiLeap MH04 will be Rs. 24,999 which converts to roughly US$585.

Introducing the eCafe Hercules, or Hercules eCafe Netbook
Aug 25th
The eCafe Hercules is one of those netbooks that you’d probably not get a chance to lay your hands on. This 8-inch netbook packs in some good features and specs, but nothing spectacular though.
Anyway here’s what we could get from the source as to the eCafe Hercules specs:
- 500MGHz AMD Geode (LX 800) processor
- 512 MB RAM upgradeable up 1.5GB
- 8-inch monitor (1024×600)
- Linux OS
- 20 GB hard drive
- Built-in sound card
- Card reader
- Webcam
The eCafe Hercules netbook will be available in Europe sometime in September with an SRP of around $441. No words yet as to whether this will be available in the US market. Although, we’re not counting on it. You’re best be if you’re interested to get this netbook is through the online. But that would shoot up your shipping costs. So, find a better alternative to this netbook.

Albatron “Tee PC” Sounds Like Eee PC
Aug 25th
We really don’t know if it’s intentional on the part of Taiwan-based manufacturer Albatron to name its newest product, a Tablet PC into “Tee PC”. It would certainly make you put out a smile upon hearing/reading it, right? Anyway, in looks and feel the Albatron Tee PC is definitely different from the Eee PC. This Tablet PC was first introduced in Computex 2008, and after several months, it looks like Albatron is ready to unleash their product.
The Albatron Tee PC is your straight-out-of-the-box Tablet PC which packs all the hardware and software that you would need to use it. It even comes with a docking station, well obviously the Tee PC needs it as its not your usual mini-netbook or UMPC. Anyway, this Tablet PC comes with Windows CE 6.0 OS, pre-installed with WordPad, MediaPlayer and Internet Explorer. Definitely the most basic utilities that you would need to get going with your mobile computing needs.
Here’s the complete specs and features of the Albatron Tee PC to let you decide if it stand a chance in our mad netbook world:
- 400MHz ARM926
- Screen 7″W, 800×480 w/TP
- Memory: SO-DIMM DDR 128MB
- Storage NAND flash 128MB
