Vulcan FlipStart
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Vulcan FlipStart is an super compact PC that weighs 1.8 pounds and is only the size of a paperback novel (4.0 by 5.4 by 1.3 inches) so it can rest comfortably in two hands.
The FlipStart has a folding 5.8-inch screen with 1024×600 resolution, a 30GB hard drive, built-in Wi-Fi and batteries capable of running three to four hours on a single charge. The devices run the Windows XP and Windows Vista operating systems and standard PC applications such as Microsoft Office using a 1.1Ghz Pentium M and 512MB RAM. It also has a small secondary display in the lid similar to, but not, Windows SideShow.
The FlipStart will be available from March 27, 2007 at the FlipStart web page.
