Onkyo DX dual screen netbook

0 comments | Saturday, January 23, 2010

I have made a post about the Kohjinsha DZ dual screen netbook last year. You can read about it here. This week a new dual screen netbook surfaced -- its Kohjinsha DZ re-branded as Onkyo DX dual screen netbook. The difference between the two is the display resolution. Onkyo DX has a much higher 1366 x 768 pixel display resolution compared to 1024 x 600 pixel resolutions for the Kohjinsha DZ.

Watch this Onkyo DX review video:

Onkyo DX is not available in the US. If you wanna buy one, you have to buy it from abroad for $1099. That is expensive for a netbook, isn't it?
