Kohjinsha may not be a household name in the US, but the subsidiary of Taiwanese PC maker Inventec has put out some of the more interesting netbooks to hit Asia over the last few years. That includes a dual screen model, a line of kid-friendly netbooks with cartoon character themes, and a convertible touchscreen tablet-style netbook. But it looks like…

You can either operate the notebook in single-screen mode or you can slide one screen out from behind the other to use it in dual-screen mode. The laptop has begun shipping in Japan, and WOW-POW picked up a unit from…

In the market for a netbook with two side-by-side displays? Then I hope you live in Japan. Because the only two models I’ve seen are only available in that country. Actually, calling them two models is a bit of a misnomer, Onkyo’s recently announced DX netbook appears to be a rebranded version of the Kohjinsha DZ. And I doubt we’ll see…

We’ve already seen it on video, and we’re still a little perplexed about Kohjinsha’s wild dual-screen DZ netbook. Nevertheless, the innovative (if not weird) slider is set to go on sale in Japan on December 11th for around $920. That seems a little pricey, but it’s double the pixels of just about every 10.1” netbook on the market, right? I…

You know that crazy dual-screen Kohjinsha netbook prototype that we showed you earlier this month? It looks interesting in photos and all, but a video is kind of worth a thousand pictures in this case, and the folks at DigInfo.tv have put together a video that shows just how the computer works. In a nutshell, one screen slides behind the…

Look, I’m using the word netbook loosely here, because I’d be shocked if Kohjinsha’s new laptop cost less than $800 if and when it came to market. But the company is showing off an awesome little concept device at CEATEC with two 10.1 inch LCDs that can sit side by side. If you only need a single screen, one folds…

Bandai is launching its second netbook based around a cartoon character. And it looks pretty much exactly like the company’s first netbook, but with a different color scheme and desktop theme. So I’m going to go out on a limb and assume that Bandai’s Rilakkuma netbook is manufactured by Kohjinsha, just like the company’s Gachapin & Mukku netbook. The laptop…

I have to admit, I don’t generally pay that much attention to Kohjinsha computers. The Japanese company rarely releases products in the US, and they tend to be pricier than most netbooks. But the Kohjinsha SK3 looks pretty interesting. This netbook has a 7 inch touchscreen display which can be folded down over the keyboard for use in tablet mode….

There’s new out of Japan of two different netbook launches today. But neither laptop is particularly impressive, and neither is all that likely to make it to the US, so I figured I’d just group them into a single post. The new Kohjinsha ML6 line of netbooks come with glossy 8.9 inch, 1024 x 600 pixel displays, 1.6GHz Intel Atom…

If you just look at the specs, the new Kohjinsha Gachupin & Mukku netbook looks like a decent little machine with a 1.6GHz Intel Atom CPU, 1GB of RAM, a 120GB hard drive, and a 1Seg digital TV tuner for picking up Japanese TV broadcasts. But what sets this netbook apart from the crowd is it’s theme: Gachupin and Mukku…
