Prime Note Cressida NC : Prime Note Cressida NC: Who Needs a Netbook?

When the first netbook came out over a year ago, it was a remarkable milestone in mobile computing. Now with increased HDD space, features, size, and design, cheap netbooks are not so cheap. Now DosPara (a store in Akihabara) has announced their Prime Note Cressida NC notebook. For less than 630€, it includes a Core 2 Duo T5500 (1.66GHz), 12.1” WXGA, 2GB of RAM, Intel 945GM express, 250GB of HDD, a DVD Multi, Wifi BG, memory card reader, USB 2.0 3x, IEEE 1394, and XP Home edition.

Compared to a netbook this notebook is pretty heavy (1.85kg) and bulky (297 x 213 x 36.5mm), but at this price we won’t complain!
