Netbook Stand with DVD Multi-Drive Up for Grabs in Japan
Posted by: Arnold Zafra in Netbook, accessories, tags: DVD Drive
Those who have been waiting for Asus’ Eee PC with a built-in multidrive would be glad to know that there is an alternative to this that would not entail buying a stand-alone DVD box. The solution can be found in the streets of Japan, created by a Tokyo-based company Century. The product? A netbook stand with a built-in, slim Panasonic DVD Super Multi-Drive.
The netbook stand’s DVD Drive reads DVD±R/+RW (8x), DVD±R DL/-RW (6x), DVD-RAM (5x) and CD-R/-RW (24x). It is compatible with Windows XP and Vista. So there goes your hopes for a DVD Drive if you’re running Linux OS on your netbooks. It connects to your netbook via USB port.
The said product goes for around $100 in Japan. Of course, we’re not really optimistic that this product will be available internationally.
