When I bought a netbook I did it for mobility, but after a few days I was already thinking that an HDMI port and a good graphics card to output movies at 1080p resolutions directly on my HDTV, would be sweet. Well, it looks like there are many like me and VIA is catering to them with their latest SurfBoard NetNote — a mashup between a netbook and a laptop, that boasts HD video capabilities.
Hardware wise, the new VIA NetNote runs on the company’s SurfBoard platform that supports an optional HDMI port and integrated 3G HSPDA connectivity modules. Meant as a high-performance mobile device, it comes with a VX855 media processor that not only delivers 1080p HD streams, but also decodes H.264, MPEG-2/4, VC-1 and WMV9 formats.
Along the same lines, the new NetNote comes with either VIA C7-M CULV or a VIA Nano processors (supporting an 800MHz FSB), should be available with 10.2- to 12.1-inch displays and with a long lasting battery life to support HD playback.
No word concerning price or availability, but we got our eyes on it and we’ll update when we have more.
