Announced recently, Gigabyte’s M1028 is one of the more interesting netbooks to come out of the woodwork. Aside from typical netbook specs, it comes with a 10-inch convertible screen, which sort of makes it like a tablet. The overall design isn’t that bad, too. In case you were feeling a bit antzy about when it will finally come out, don’t fret. The said netbook has just passed through the U.S.’s FCC, and events like this is usually followed by the device finally going on sale. In any case, it’s clear to be available as a wireless device in the U.S. in the future.
