Kohjinsha SK3 Convertible Touchscreen Netbook
Posted by Joe as Mobile Gadgets, Netbooks, Reviews
Kohjinsha just released a new netbook, Kohjinsha SK3. SK3 features a 7-inch convertible touchscreen display. This netbook is already available for Japanese market for $730 price. Umpc portal has taken the opportunity to review this gadget and here is the short review.
We’re clearly looking at the evolution of a good quality UMPC here. The SC3 was well built and had an excellent (arguably the best in the market) screen making it downright stunning for 720p playback and very useful for high-end navigation duties. The SK3 will be just as good if it has the same screen. The size reductions are quite considerable considering it’s got a swivel screen and the weight reduction to 720g is class-leading for a 7” ‘laptop’.
The positive is that Kohjinsha SK3 is well built and has a great screen. The negative side is in its battery, that only last for 2 – 2.5 hours.
On the negative side we can’t ignore the extremely disappointing battery life figures. 3.2hrs battery life on a Jeita-based test is nothing exciting at all and will translate to between 2 and 2.5 hours, possibly less under heavy load.
