Kohjinsha SX packs a punch

Posted by sawaru | Category: Tablet PC & UMPC

 There is already a lot of 8.9-inch subnotebooks today, but Kohjinsha SX that has recently gone on sale in Japan seems to be the most feature-rich.

This Tablet PC feature 1280×768 touchscreen, 1.33GHz Intel Atom Z520 processor, up to 1GB RAM, up to 60GB HDD. The compact enclosure even packs a multi-format DVD recorder.

Other features include Wi-Fi; two webcams; D-Sub; ExpressCard/34, MicroSD, SD/MMC and Memory Stick slots; and a couple of USB 2.0 ports.

Kohjinsha SX works under Vista Home Premium OS. The standard battery is claimed to provide 4.2 hours of operation. Notebook dimensions are 225 x 185 x 22~33 mm, weight - 1.2 kg.

In Japan the price for the novelty starts from 1000 USD.

Kohjinsha’s PCs getting more features and lower price tag

If you’re in Japan, that is - the latest refresh adds features, knocks prices down, and brings GPS to the ultra-mobile class for the first time.

Atom inside

Keeping only to the briefest details, the new SC series starts at ¥99,800 (£465), for which you’ll get a 1.33GHz Intel Atom chipset, 1GB of RAM, a 60GB HDD and a built-in 1.3-megapixel webcam.

On top of that, there’s that internal GPS module, a 1-seg digital TV tuner, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, a multi-card reader, ExpressCard and USB and Ethernet ports.

Twist and turn

Most surprising of all, perhaps, are the touch-sensitive 7-inch screen that swivels and folds for a spot of Tablet PC action and the miniscule 798g the SC series models weigh.

On the downside, the OS is Windows Vista for some reason and the standard battery life is a slightly disappointing 3.2 hours. Still, a larger battery stretching to double that span is available.

Give that Kohjinsha sells some of its PCs overseas through subsidiaries, there’s a fair chance that these newcomers will join the exodus before long, albeit without the TV tuner.
