But while the T1028X has a resistive touchscreen display, the T1005 has a capacitive touchscreen display which is easier to operate with your fingertips. This model also sports a dual core 1.5GHz Intel Atom N550 processor. Other specifications include 2GB of RAM, a 320GB hard drive and Windows 7 Home Premium. The laptop also has some premium features like a USB 3.0 ports, an Express Card slot and an eSATA / USB combo port.
Design and build quality
Build quality seems satisfactory. The hinge feels very sturdy and although the netbook has a plastic casing, it doesn't look cheap.
The keyboard is also decent, but some users may not like the shift keys which are rather small.But that is something you will eventually get used to.
Performance
Performance is satisfactory. The T1005 can easily handle day-to-day computing tasks without any difficulty. But the touchscreen does feel a bit laggy at times. But it is possible that this could be an issue with the software and can easily be fixed with an update.
The T1005 doesn't have a discrete graphics option. So heavy duty gaming is simply out of question. That said, you can still indulge in some modest gaming. HD video content also plays fine.
Battery Life
The T1005 gets around 5 and half hours of battery with the USB 3.0 port turned on. By turning it off, you will be able to get an extra hour of battery life.
Conclusion
The Gigabyte T1005 is an impressive netbook. Because it is a convertible it serves two purposes - that of a laptop and that of a tablet. The laptop has many premium features including an HD display, Windows 7 Home Premium and USB 3.0 port. The only downside perhaps is the price. At $600, the Gigabyte T1005 is costlier than most netbooks. In fact,it costs as much as some entry level notebooks. But if you don't mind spending a few extra bucks,you have no reason not to buy this laptop.
