Gigabyte M1022 Booktop - A Transformer in Disguise

By Kenny Yeo - 4 Nov 2009

Conclusion

An Innovative Take

There's no denying that the Gigabyte Booktop M1022 is a creative take on the heavily saturated netbook market. The ability to turn the Booktop into a nettop with just a simple dock is quite brilliant, and allows users to quickly turn the Booktop into a light computing machine for the home or quickly take their data with them on the go.

Inevitably, the Gigabyte Booktop M1022 is not going to be able to match up against full-fledged nettops, so that means its use as a nettop is limited other providing a more user friendly experience. Hence, don't expect it to be able to double up as a HTPC - you'll need an ION-equipped system for that.

The Gigabyte Booktop M1022 is a tad pricey, but it is also a refreshing take on the netbook market.

But at S$788, the Gigabyte Booktop M1022 is actually quite good value for money, considering similarly specced netbooks costs just about as much but do not include a docking station. What's more Gigabyte is renowned for its high build quality, and the Booktop certainly follows in that tradition. All things considered, the Booktop is a very accomplished netbook offering from the Taiwanese hardware giants.
