Dosparea Prime Note Cresion with Atom 330 Dual Core processor

Not quite the  usual “netbook” by any means – and I say that because finally someone has brought out a device utilizing Intel’s dual core netbook processor – the Atom 330.  Better yet, they’ve paired it with Nvidia’s Ion graphics chipset.  Straying from convention doesn’t stop there, however, as Japan’s DosPara has now gone out and broken a few more rules with its new Prime Note Cresion NA model, which packs a larger than usual 12-inch displa and weights in at a hefty (for netbooks) 1.92kg.

The rest of the specs include 2GB of RAM, a 320GB hard drive, your choice of built-in optical drive, a memory card reader, and an HDMI port and even a 56k modem (why?!).  The netbook is Japan only for now, with a  ¥59,980 price tag (or just about $600) which seems pretty decent.

You can find the full product page, and more picture here (sorry, Japanese only).
