by atticus ~ July 4, 2008

Besides DreamBook Light CE2A, Pioneer Australia is also releasing the DreamBook Light M91 which is based on the Intel Calistoga 945GSE + ICH7M chipset and runs the Intel Atom processor. M91 does not seem to be based on FIC CW0A1 design. DreamBook Light M91 comes with an 8.9″ touch screen with swivelling capability. It’s heavier at 1.2kg, probably due to the 2.5″ HDD choice.

According to Pioneer Australia’s website, DreamBook Light M91 is expected to be available in July 2008. The RRP is AU$899 (US$866). Customizing options for the UMPC is available here.
