Archos is a well-known name in the PMP business, and earlier this year, they’ve also expressed their intent to enter the MID industry as well. They’ve done just that with the recently unveiled Archos 9, and now, they’re expanding their laptop line as well. So far, the Archos 10 is the only laptop model tucked under their belt. However, that’s about to change as they’ve just announced the Archos 10s, Archos 13, and even partnered with France’s Ministry of Education to produce a Classmate PC.

More details and pics after the break.

As far as specs go, the Archos 10s is pretty much the same with the Archos 10. It does, however, feature a more stylish design and offers it up in a slimmer and lighter package. As a result, it ditches the VGA port and Kensington lock slot. It’ll be available with your choice of a 3-cell or 6-cell battery later this month, though price is still yet to be known.

The Archos 13, meanwhile, comes with a 1.2GHz Celeron ULV processor, 13.3-inch LED back-lit 1280×800 pixel display, 120GB SATA HDD, and a 10-cell battery. This baby will be available towards the end of summer for $800.

The Archos Classmate PC needs no further introduction as it pretty much comes with standard features. Their version, however, includes a one year subscription to an online course service worth $400. Pricing, likewise, wasn’t disclosed, but being that this is, after all, a Classmate PC, this will be more on the affordable side.

So, what do you guys think of Archos’ new laptop offerings? Does it live up to the Archos name or does it fail in comparison to their PMP collection?
