Written by admin on April 11th, 2008 in Gadgets.
Given the latest craze of UMPC’s, most people would assume that if you want an optical drive it would have to be external. However Kohjinsha has announced the SR8KPO6S UMPC that features not only a built-in double layer DVD drive but also has a tablet style pivoting display. The SR8KPO6S also offers a 7-inch touchscreen display with a 1024 x 600 resolution, 1GB of RAM, 60GB hard drive, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g, Bluetooth, 1.3-megapixel webcam, built-in card reader, runs Windows Vista and is powered by an Intel 800 MHz processor.
The SR8KPO6S measure in at 9.2 x 7 x 1.3-inches and weighs just 2.4 pounds, also included is a standard keyboard, stylus, as well as buttons and controls to use when in tablet mode. Kohjinsha is claiming a 3.5 hour battery life, but with the optical drive in use, that can be expected to drop quickly, fortunately that was thought of and the drive can be disabled to save power when its not needed. They have also included an on/off power switch for the Bluetooth as well.
Pricing has yet to be announced for the SR8KPO6S, but it is expected to be around $1,500, no word on availability.
