The firstnetbook offering by Gigabyte, theM912, is a hybridnetvertibleTablet PC device, was released in 2008. It features anIntel Atom processor and comes preloaded with eitherWindows XP,Windows Vista or a customisedLinux distribution. The hardware varies slightly depending on the OS chosen. The Linux Version for example does not includeBluetooth and has a lower resolution screen. Press accounts suggest that there may be significant heat and speed issues compared with other netbooks. Other criticisms focus on Gigabyte's choice to ship one variant withWindows Vista Home Basic, which lacks official Tablet PC support and their refusal to ship it in the United States or Canada.[1]
