Nufront Smartbook with the Dual Core Cortex A9

This 10 inch Smartbook is powered by a dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 running at 2GHz, and sporting an Ubuntu operating system. We are unsure if it is going to have 1 or 2GB of RAM. Other specs include HDMI, VGA, two USB 2.0, and an SD card. We are most curious about the lengthy battery capability and can’t wait to test it out. The system seems to sport very decent build quality and the thinness that makes smartbooks attractive. In an interesting move Nufront has loaded Canonical’s Ubuntu operating system on the device.

Back in September, Nufront and ARM announced the availability of the NuSmart 2816, a 40nm system-on-a-chip including a dual-core Cortex-A9 MPCore implementation at 2GHz. With the new system-on-a-chip, Nufront is targeting the ultra-thin laptop and all-in-one desktop markets, it said, as well as netbook and tablet markets.

We’re very excited to spend more time with these products to get a real sense of performance and battery life. For now we’ve got a hands on video to wet your whistle.
