Somewhere in Japa, a company called Dosapara and game animation company Nitro+ has teamed up to release a new netbook inspired by a game called "Yu-pon." The netbook called Prime Note Cresion NA Yu-Pon netbook boasts of a Blu-ray disc player plus your usual netbook fare.
The netbook features Intel Atom N330 with Nvidia ION chipset, 2GB of RAM, 320GB of HDD, Wi-Fi b/g/n/, HDMI and a 12.1-inch wide monitor with 1366x768 resolution. It comes preloaded with Windows 7 Home Premium.
The netbook goes on sale in Japan this month for around $784.
UK company X2 Computing has just launched a new tablet PC ironically called the iTablet. And guess what the company's tagline is for their iTablet?
"the iTablet will revolutionize the way that Windows users can access and use data on the move."
Sounds familiar? Just don't mind the allusion to the iPad as I'm pretty sure that specs-wise the iTablet and the iPad are miles apart.
The iTablet features a 10.2-inch widescreen TFT or a 12.1-inch widescreen XGA display. The screen display can have an optional multitouch feature. Other specs include - 1.6GHz Intel processor which I'm guessing would be the Atom N450, 250GB of HDD, built-in stereo speakers, 3 USB ports, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 1.3 MP webcam and optional HDMI.
In addition the iTablet will support Flash and multitasking, two things which the iPad is not capable of.
The iTablet is scheduled to be launched in April and will be available in various colors - white, grey, pink, blue, red, yellow and black.
Brad has another jam-packed review for us over at liliputing, this time it's the Lenovo Ideapad U150. He previously posted an unboxing which we also covered here. Here is the specification review of this unit.
Lenovo Ideapad U150
11.6” 1366 x 768 glossy screen
1.30GHz Intel CULV SU7300 Core 2 Duo with GS45 Express + GMA 4500MHD Graphics
Some of the pros of the device is the easy access bottom panel for doing upgrades and the free mini PCIe slot and extra RAM slot. The two-tone keyboard is also nice and gives the main letters some focus. It's also quite snappy for regular office app use.
The extra glossy screen is not that great though and might be distracting for some. The keyboard is also a bit noisy and gives some flex when in use. Noticeably absent is the lack of a graphics chip like the NVIDIA Ion which often comes packaged with these CULVs to give an extra graphics boost.
The U150 looks like a decent computer but I've found that Lenovo laptops while high-quality are a bit more expensive than similar devices from other makers.
It seems the Alienware mothership has chosen to land in Japan. The highly-anticipated (well anticipated by me at least) netbook is coming in this month to the Land of the Rising Sun. Here's a spec refresher.
11.6" 1366 x 768 screen
Intel CULV Core 2 Duo with switchable NVIDIA GT335M
3 x USB, 2 x headphone and 1 x mic port, Multicard Reader
Backlit customizable keyboard
6-cell battery at 6.5 hours battery life for integrated graphics, 2.5 hours max if you use the graphics card.
Weight: around 4 lbs.
Colors: Black or Gray.
Even at the hefty US$799 price tag, the power packed by this device will definitely blow any other netbook out of the water and even gives some notebooks a run for their money. As I said before, this will make a decent replacement for a notebook if you care about power but don't want the bulk.
Asus' new nettop has finally been graced by an unboxing by the folks of Netbooked. It comes with ION graphics and a wireless keyboard, wireless mouse and remote control. The focus seems to be on making this an all-in-one entertainment device with the improved video capability, dvd slot and remote.
Asus Eee Box EB1501
1.66GHz Intel Atom 330, dual-core with NVidia ION
2GB RAM
250GB HDD
Windows 7 Home Premium
802.11b/g/n WiFi
6 x USB, HDMI out
eSATA, audio jacks, S/PDIF, card reader
DVD Burner
Wireless keyboard, wireless mouse, remote control
From the unboxing, you will see that it's a hefty package since this new unit now includes peripherals with the purchase. Like other Eee Box models, it can be mounted using an included VESA mount so you can attach it either behind your monitor or a VESA-compatible stand. It also comes with an antenna for expanding its WiFi range.
It has a similar spec base as the Acer Aspire Revo sans the DVD drive. It's a pretty sleek package which will probably find a home beside your LCD TV as a media server. Amazon sells these for US$465 and it comes in black and white models.
