Japan gets first ION netbook with Atom 330

The Atom 330 processor was never meant to end up in a netbook, but not is seems like Japanese DosPara has gone and done what a lot of people have wanted. Not only does the Prime Note Cresion NA as it’s known as come with the Atom 330 processor, but DosPara has teamed up the CPU with the Nvidia ION chipset which should make this the fastest netbook to date, hands down.

It’s a rather large netbook, as it has a 12.1-inch screen with 1,366×768 resolution and at 1.92kg it’s more of a notebook than a netbook. It also has 2GB of DDR2 memory, a 320GB hard drive, a built in optical drive, a memory card reader, an HDMI port, three USB 2.0 ports, Bluetooth 2.1 with EDR, 802.11b/g/n WiFi, Gigabit Ethernet, a 56k modem (why?) and a 1.3Megapixel webcam. It measures 305x225x37.5mm (WxDxH) and it’s available in Japan now for about €439/US$609 without an operating system. You can find the product page here (in Japanese of course)
