DosPara has managed to add a Blu-ray drive to its Prime Note Cresion NA 12.1 inch netbook. The machine announced in June already had enticing specifications. It runs on the Ion platform with a dual core Atom 330 processor. Up to 2GB of RAM can be installed on this netbook. The maximum storage capacity is 320GB.
With its 12.1 inch display the Prime Note Cresion is larger than conventional netbooks. Other features include Wi-Fi (Draft-N), Bluetooth 2.1 and HDMI out. The display has a resolution of 1366x768 pixels.
The Blu-ray version will cost $752 as against the previous version that cost $611. The new models have started shipping.
By now you're aware that NVIDIA and Intel are not friends especially since NVIDIA announced that Ion would be competing with Intel's crappy GMA graphics cards in netbooks. Well this fight has a sudden turn of events as Japans DosPara has decided to pair "Romio and Juliet" together in the form of the Prime Note Cresion NA.
As I said before with the netbook standard currently defined thanks to Intel's Atom processors and Microsoft's XP Home we won't be seeing a lot of innovative features until next year when Window's 7 is released.
