Epson's Endeavor Na02mini-V netbook won't excite many

Epson's Endeavor Na01 shipped with an astoundingly predictable set of specifications last November, and lo and behold, the unit's successor has a BOM that's equally guessable. If you're not in the mood for playing games (and be honest, you aren't), we'll inform that this bugger touts a 10.1-inch display, 1,024 x 600 resolution, 1.66GHz Atom N280 processor, 1GB of memory, a 160GB hard drive, WiFi, a trio of USB 2.0 sockets and a multi-card reader. It's also sporting one of the classier cases out there, and the built-in VGA / Ethernet ports are also handy. The included Li-ion isn't anything special, but we're told an extended cell that offers up ten hours of life should be coming soon; for those who can hardly wait, it should be ready to purchase this November for ¥39,800, or just north of $427 at current exchange rates.

See?
And YOU thought the market was saturated!


Plenty of room for more of the same thing in a different package...right?

[GGG Posted Sep 7th 2009 8:07AM]

What advantage has it got over all the other netbooks with the same specs?

[stridermt2k Posted Sep 7th 2009 8:48AM]

Zero.

Cool ain't it?

[LondonConsultant Posted Sep 7th 2009 8:14AM]

Yawn... Wake me up when the Lenovo S10-2 HD (720p screen) or Asus Eee 1008HA-P (matte screen, 320GB HDD, 2GB RAM) arrive in UK.

Hmmm... really small spacebar...

[(Unverified) Posted Sep 7th 2009 9:29AM]

there is an extra key on both sides of the spacebar.. i wonder... why would i need extra keys?

[xxxsam Posted Sep 7th 2009 6:37PM]

It's a Japanese keyboard; the extra keys are to do with switching writing mode etc so you can type all the extra characters.

Nice clean design and at least it has N280 but still, yawn.

[CaptainReynolds Posted Sep 7th 2009 8:51AM]

for $600 or less.

[(Unverified) Posted Sep 7th 2009 9:27AM]

[Wolfticket Posted Sep 7th 2009 9:25AM]

Who says people can't play games on these things? All the Simcity games run awesome on my 1000he (which has almost the exact same hardware)!
