Kohjinsha Netbook goes really tiny
(Credit: Geek Stuff4U)
While the Netbook industry is heading for larger screen sizes, Kohjinsha seems to be interested in a different trend. Known for making low-cost convertible tablets with 7- to 9-inch screen sizes, the Japanese maker's latest model is a notebook with a tiny 4.8-inch touchscreen.
Running on an off-roadmap Intel Atom N510 1.1GHz processor, the Kohjinsha PM series targets users who demand a full Windows operating system literally in the palm of their hands. The 345g minilaptop is almost pocket-size, with a footprint of 158 x 94.2 x 22mm, which is about the size of a paperback novel. Other specifications include:
This model is current on preorder at GeekStuf4U Web site for 75,000 yen (US$825.13), which is pretty hefty for a Netbook but cheaper than the Raon Digital Everun Note, another touchscreen Netbook. The Kohjinsha PM series should hit Asia markets in October, so check with your local distributor regarding availability.
