Hanvon BC10C review

Remember the Hanvon BC10C and the BA10E slate tablets presented at CeBIT a few weeks ago? It seems that Hanvon made real nice progress since then and got a few samples to the press to review them, which JKKmobiledid and here’s what they’ve found out about the BC10C, the model with a 1.3 GHz Celeron M ULV 743 CPU and GMA4500 graphics. If you wonder why no Atom CPU then think about performance and you have your answer. The BA10E is fitted with an Atom CPU, just like the ASUS EEE PC T101MT and it’s not a pleasant view.
The Celeron M CPU gives the BC10C a serious multimedia carriage, like 1080p playback (with a help of an additional chip I suppose) and HDMI output capabilities, smooth everyday operation in apps like Google Maps where frequent zooming is required and overall improved user experience. The downside, as there is one, is battery life, as BC10C managed just 3.5 hours of autonomy in real life scenarios, but mind you this is a pre-production unit so the final version could improve on this field, but I don’t expect wonders.
If you’re already set on the Hanvon BC10C wait a sec till I tell you about price: 877$, not too pocket friendly, but if it’s as good as in the video below I believe it is worth the money and maybe in the future this sum will be lowered if production ramps up in numbers.

Hanvon BC10C and BA10E run Windows 7, the BC10C with a 1.3GHz Celeron CPU and the BA10E runs a 1.6GHz Atom Z-series CPU. The Hanvon BA10E will have both a capacitive multitouch display option and an active digitizer option for improved handwriting recognition.
