Kohjinsha PA and PM series hands-on (video)

Dual-panel netbooks weren't the only takeaway from Kohjinsha's CEATEC booth, as the company also had on hand a pair of sleek MIDs. Both lightweight, Windows XP-powered touchscreen portables, the PA boasted a 4.8-inch swivel display with 1024 x 600 resolution, a 1.33GHz Intel Atom Z520 with 512MB RAM, a 32GB SSD , and a sleek industrial design. The PM is actually a bit old hat now, living a double life as the mbook M1. Still, both had very responsive screens and decent front-mount cameras, and although we still can't get the hang of the tiny keyboards, it's par for the course in the field of MIDs. Brief video hands-on after the break.

WHY is it almost 2010, and they're still putting 1"+ bezels on each side of the screen?!!?!

That footprint can accomodate a 7"+ screen. sigh.

Where else would they put the stickers? ;)

[TWiz Posted Oct 7th 2009 12:04PM]

Hmm, maybe it has something to do with the hardware that is to either side of the screen?

EWW, It has Windows Desktop Search installed on it.. That's bogging it down by at least 10%...
