Kohjinsha SK3 UMPC hits Japan

Kohjinsha UMPC of SK3 was officially in Japan. The 7-inch touchscreen SK3 gets a 1.33GHz Intel Atom processor, coupled with 1 GB of RAM and a 60 GB 1.8-inch 4200 rpm hard drive, there is also WiFi b g n, Bluetooth 2.0, and GPS.

As expected, there are dual cameras, a low-resolution webcam on the screen for video calls and a 3-megapixel version probably still shots. Ethernet 10 100 ports include VGA, audio in out, a microSD slot, two USB 2.0 ports, multi-format card reader and an ExpressCard 34 slot.

It is also impressive SC3 smaller than its predecessor, with 193 x 132 x 30 mm and a weight of only 720g. Kohjinsha beat duration 3.2hrs battery 17Wh in JEITA test, a test known to be over-ambitious. Steve from UMPC Portal (which, frankly, we are confident about the battery life estimates, more than we ever have JEITA) is guesstimating at between 2 and 2.5hrs in the real world use, this is a real disappointment.

Nevertheless, we will not argue with more options in the category of ultra-touch screen, and we have a sense of Japanese customers, if either the Kohjinsha SK3 is for sale. It is expected that the prices in the amount of approximately $ 733, including local taxes.
