The folks over at Wow-Pow, after giving us an unboxing of the dual-screen 10.1” Kohjinsha DZ netbook, now have a 3-part review of the netbook up on YouTube.
The first part of the review focuses on the dual displays, the second part on the Kohjinsha’s AMD Neo MV-40 (1.6GHz) processor performance compared to an Atom Z550 (2.0GHz) and the third part looks at video, gaming and upgrading.
I was surprised that the AMD Athlon MV-40 (1.6GHz) processor outperformed the Atom Z550 (2.0GHz) processor quite easily but then again I’ve never used either.
Battery life is rated at 4.5 hours, but they are getting around 3 hours with it’s 6-cell battery.
Wide chiclet keyboard and multi-gesture touchpad look very decent. There is a comparison with a 8.9-inch Dell Mini 9 at one point, and while they say there’s not much between them I think there’s a huge difference especially when the Kohjinsha DZ is 1.6-inches thick and weighs 1.84 kg / 4.1 lbs. That’s heavier and thicker than the 13.3-inch Acer Aspire 3810T I reviewed way back, but of course where else are you going to find a dual-screen netbook?
Those Kohjinsha DZ specs again:
Dual-screen 10.1” 1024 x 600 displays, AMD Athlon Neo MV-40 (1.6GHz) processor, 1GB RAM (4 max), ATI Radeon HD 3200 graphics, 160GB HDD, Gigabit LAN, Bluetooth 2.1+EDR, 1.3MP Webcam, TV Tuner, Fingerprint Scanner, Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit and a 6-cell 5200mAh battery good for up to 4.5 hours.
Costs a whopping $1017 and is orderable at conics.net.
