Japan gets world’s first netbook with DVD burner
January 28th, 2009

No biggie, this, but if you’re into netbooks with their sluggish performance , small screens and fiddly keyboards, but still crave a DVD writer, then here’s the answer.

Japan’s Mouse Computer has just announced the LB-F1500W – a ¥64,800 ($726) Atom-powered 10.2-incher with a 160GB HDD and the rest of the usual stuff.

The battery is rated at 5 hours+, which probably means 2.5 in the real world. Fire up that DVD burner and it’s time to reach for the AC adapter.
