KOHJINSHA DZ GETS REBRANDED AS ONKYO DX

Kohjinsha made news a couple of months ago by releasing a laptop with two side-by-side displays. The Kohjinsha DZ as it is called is only available in Japan.

The Onkyo DX has two 1366 x 768 pixel displays. Other specifications include a 1.6 GHz AMD Athlon Neo MV-40 processor, ATI Radeon HD 3200 graphics, up to 4GB of RAM and a 320GB hard drive.

Pricing and Availability
The Onkyo DX is now available for purchase in Japan. But at ¥84,800 or about $961 US, it is awfully expensive for a laptop of this size and capabilities.
