Kohjinsha SC and SX series hit the Atom era

Darius Chang | Jun 25, 2008

Kohjinsha made a name for itself by offering one of the most affordable convertible tablet PCs in the market. Its latest offerings, the SC and SX series, now come equipped with the latest Atom processors.

The SC range is an upgrade from the older SH series, choosing portability over an integrated optical drive. The 7-inch screen has a 1,024 x 600-pixel resolution, with the main changes being its 1.33GHz Atom chip and the addition of an ExpressCard/34 slot. The Japan model comes with an integrated 1Seg tuner, which will likely be removed when it hits other Asia markets (since the 1Seg service is not available outside Japan).

The SX series is the largest Kohjinsha yet, sporting an 8.9-inch 1,280 x 768-pixel display with an integrated DVD writer and GPS. This series starts at ￥109,800 (US$), while the SC machines are cheaper at ￥89,800 (US$). There is no indication when these units will start appearing outside of Japan for now.
