The Very First Wide-Screen Netbook!



Now this is something! Computer manufacturer Kohjinsha in Japan released the very first dual screen netbook. The Kohjinsha DZ has 2 ten-inch screens at 1024x600 that slides apart giving you a wide screen. It's a swivel type laptop meaning to say you can turn the screen around and use a bluetooth keyboard and mouse if you dont want to use the keyboard and the touchpad of the laptop itself. This baby runs AMD Athlon NeoMV-40 (1.6Ghz) which some say runs 2 times better than the 1.6Ghz Atom.
Here's some of the details I was able to get about the DZ:

CPU: AMD Athlon NeoMV-40 (1.6Ghz)
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium
Video: ATI 3200 Graphics GPU
HDD: 160
RAM: 1gb Up to 4gbmax
Swivel Type
2 10.1 inch LCD Screen


Already released in Japan
79,800 Yen
Pesos 41,130.51
894.920 USD

However,



Japanese counterpart of Kohjinsha, Onkyo, released the same type of laptop but of higher specs. This time, its with 2 x 1366x768 screens. I think this model was made to kill the Kohjinsha DZ. It was even named next to it, Onkyo DX! same freakin' specs with just a screen upgrade, RAM at 2gb and a hard drive capacity upgrade to 320GB.

Expected to be released December 21, 2009
84,800 Yen
43,707 Pesos
950.993 USD
