High Tech Lounge — ... say that it’s the inclusion of the Intel Atom processor that categorizes this particular portable computer in the netbook niche. You get Windows Vista Basic a touch of RAM, a full-sized keyboard, and a standard hard drive (40/60/80GB). Prices start at $599, but this is a Japan-only release for now.
