Compaq has launched its new AirLife "smartbook" this week, an interesting move away from skimpy netbooks.
The AirLife includes a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, has 3g wireless built-in, Wi-Fi and runs the Android operating system.
Most notably, the smartbook includes a 10.1-inch, 1024x600-pixel touchscreen TFT display, allowing for multi-touch.
There is a 16GB SSD, so internal memory may become a problem fast, but the computer should also load everything lighting quick. The battery life is promised at 12 hours, with 10 days of standby.
There was no word on price or availability as of yet, but subsidized the smartbook is expected to cost under $300.
