Why is Japan the only country where this type of very small form factor PC is sold?

Why is Japan the only country where this type of very small form factor PC is sold?

I don't know, but Japs are top-tier at building small devices in general.

Pic related. It's a rugged 2-in-1 laptop and tablet with a ton of ports. Only for the Japanese market.

Looks like a comfy machine for bspwm or dwm

Tablets.

They're very popular with grils there and are made to fit in their bags

nah
these are available worldwide as well but the specs are horrible

Because the netbook fad ended a decade ago and Japan will always be stuck in the past.

the bezel though

>having a laptop with small dimensions is a fad

What the FUCK is going on in that pic?

You might be thinking of the Surface, buddy

>$3000 for a core m
looks cool, but fuck that

>no trackpoints
>non-ANSI keyboard
It could've been good.

Because they are manlets

Extreme bezeling to let you know the laptop is good.

That was sold in the US, so was the Vaio UX and various other UMPCs

because they have tiny fingers and fat muricans can\'t use them.

LOL is that seriously the macbook?

Thats fucking hilarious, who even buys that shit?

It's clearly edited. Did you even look at this?

Because they like gimmicks.

These were sold in europe too when netbooks were popular, for ridiculous prices of course

>not seeing the pixels
I see some guys who haven't seen photoshops in their time before

Because they use ancient technology.

The rest of the world is using tablet PCs now.

It's funny because that's essentially what those resolutions feel like to use. Anything below 1600x900 is fucking unusable for me.

Because supply demand faggot

Looking for a small 10" screen laptop to install a simple linux distro on. Prefer at least 4gb RAM but I know that is a stretch for most so will settle for 2gb RAM if need be.

What should I get senpai?

>tfw you will never have a laptop like that so you can shitpost on Sup Forums and code

ew

>Why is a country of manlets the only country where this type of very small form factor PC is sold?

protip: don't settle for 2gb ram. Browsers these days usually suck JUST enough ram that having just 2gb will cause a lot of swap/pagefile activity and ruin your day.

Blatantly false. The only machine I have that regularly hits swap has 512MB RAM, 2GB is rather decent for browsing.

Westerners care about experience (computing power they don't need to smooth out demn animashuns, cinematic displays, thin at any cost, art and gaming relevant features beat out shit like good keyboards)

Japs care about work (anything will run emacs, heavy computation is for servers, lots of ports, replaceable battery, if you want art or games you buy a device separate from what you use for work)

>The rest of the world is using different ancient technology now
Capacitive touchscreens. How innovative.

get the fuck out you retarded piece of shit inbred autistic shill. you shill your piece of shit in every thread. fuck you and the nigger mongoloid mods that don't bother banning you for shilling shit.

u mad

Why are you so assblasted? That netbook is more worthy for discussion on Sup Forums than 90% of the shit here. I never would've known about it if it wasn't for him

no shill
kill thyself, mi'lord

There's no need to be upset. :^)

Can you instal linux on this thing?

>ITT: panasonic chink shills

fuck all retarded shills

>stop discussing technology on a technology board

>being literally retarded

There's no need to be mad that you're too poor to afford Panasonic products. :^)

>ITT buttmad shills shilling chink shit such as panasonic

kill your're'reselves xD

Haven't needed or wanted a netbook since I got a smartphone to be honest. Even my Kindle has been left to gather dust since I got Audible. I guess if you wanted to take it easy on your phone battery while on the go, but I already have an rMBP and a few spare batteries for my phone, so I'm not sure where a device like that would fit in OP. I guess it's better not to think too much about what makes the Japanese tick haha.

>itt assblastedneets get upset because they can't afford Panasonic's GOAT netbook with autismbux

panasonic shills on suicide watch

>nigger discovers he can write on the internet

>He thinks Japan is still stuck in 2002
All these umpc's and small form factor laptops in this thread are ancient because those are a dying breed. Japan isn't some enlightened society, they use the same shit the rest of the world does. Umpc's aren't as popular as you think

>$1500 fee to import a fucking 2lb laptop
>dynamism
>ever

Literal kikes.

DELETE THIS

Because tiny computers = tiny dicks

panashills out in full force today

>discussing technology on a technology board is shilling

y u mad tho

Thoughts?

>Shilling technology on a technology board is shilling

>dy

Dropped.

...

Nobody's shilling anything. Are you really that surprised Japanese technology is showing up in a thread about technology in Japan? I mean, fucking seriously?

I've always wanted something like this, with a good keyboard... the only thing that comes close and I can get in Yurop is a Lenovo flex

Lmaoing at your Facebook machines(and your life).

found the wincuck

Onkyo?
Don't they make like audio receivers, amps and shit.

It's Clevo w230ss, it has onkyo speakers.

those were our school laptops. not actually bad

Not him but i think the audio is made by onkyo. The same when HP laptops says "Harman Kardon" , "beats" and shit

my i7 laptop can gamestream too, faggot

It doesn't need to, it has gtx860m.

I'd love one of those, or if I'm paying for a ruggedized laptop, I would love a standardized modular laptop, which we will never have, because its more profitable to sell 2 year lifespan plastic disposable laptops.

FUCKING WHY SO EXPENSE PANAPHONIC!?!?!?! YOU DUMB FUCKS, YOU PRICED YOURSELF OUT OF WARGARBL!!!

they do look fly though.

$1500, Moishe fujimore, for shame, such a son your mother has!!! (I wish my David was smart enough to charge the goyim this much for something jamal will steal and sell on Sup Forums)

>Pretty much the ideal college laptop
>Costs more than a car
Damn.

You have 10 seconds to explain why I shouldn't.

I can't, I plan on buying one too

personally, i would get another color. but its a damn nice laptop, may you forever troll poorfags and shitpost till you finally die from drowning in pussy.

>$1900 for a shitposting machine

>$4k laptop
is it 1992 again

if you have the dosh, I can't be arsed to stop you
it's your money

>cheapest possible configuration

At least it's not watches. Just about as powerful, but still.

That's just Dynamism being turbokikes and wanting 40% import fee. The actual laptops top out at $2500.

The real question is whether the RAM and SSD are user serviceable.

gay

then why iphones are popular when they could get a 50$ cellphone or their old ghetto smartphone

>"coding" on that "laptop"
Found the HTML "coder"

>180k anime dollars for a meme station with shitty jap quality

off to reddit with you, newfag

Cube i7 Stylus with the keyboard dock (magnesium, magnetically attached, 2 full USB ports).

>tfw no lets note with it's extremely crispy and smack keyboard

why does america have to use only the shit and high volume product

>can't fit comfortably in a pocket
>keyboard not large enough to touch type on
UMPCs are pretty much the worst meme shilled on Sup Forums, even below Thinkpads.

>I don't like it so nobody else is allowed to
This is an 18+ website.

>>keyboard not large enough to touch type on
Landwhale detected.

10 year old manlet detected

Just because you're a gorilla doesn't mean normal sized people are manlets.

Tiny computers for tiny people.

this is wonderful hardware for 2016 standards

great port selection
removable battery
decent IPS panel
Panasonic build quality

too bad it basically doesn't exist outside the Japanese market

how are the keyboards on the RZ* series?

It's a pretty rare model in western markets


>tfw passed up a CF-C2 for 300USD

Can it into Linux?

>bf3
>67fps
what a cuck

You can still get old 9" Asus EEEs for cheap in the US (or the older 7" ones but you can't get those with Intel Atom processors). They don't have that good of specs but they work well for shitposting and general browsing if you selectively allow scripts (which is honestly what most people here would use the for anyways). They aren't quite as small as the VAIO P, but they are similar size to/slightly smaller than the Panasonic RZ4 that everyone's talking about in this thread.

Gearbest honestly has the most up to date netbooks in the market today. And that's unfortunate because small windows computers can come in handy.

I found myself super interested in UMPCs around 2008 but the price to performance ratio was never good.

If you're serious about being mobile with your windows the most practical way is an ultra book. Specifically because that has comfort, unlike UMPCs or netbooks. But if you look at these tiny computers and think "this can be a tool" you're in the right mindset and you should check out what these Asian companies are making. Since Intel's cherry trail you will start seeing a new variant of these UMPCs and I think they're going to be extremely useful for a hobbyist.
