Korean Ripple Note: Penryn-powered touchscreen Tablet PC

Ripplenotetabletpc

Since the Ripple Note Tablet PC is for the Korean market, I'm not sure we'll see it outside of Asia, but we can always hope that the importers hunt some down. Would you based on these specifications:

  • Intel Core 2 Duo T8100 CPU, 2.1 GHz with 3 MB of cache, 800 MHz front-side bus
  • 12.1-inch, 1280 x 800 touchscreen
  • Choice of Microsoft Windows XP or Vista
  • 2.5-inch hard drive, starting at 120 GB of capacity
  • Capable of up to 4 GB of 667 MHz RAM
  • Integrated 1.3-megapixel webcam, 802.11a/b/g, 7-in-1 card reader, dual speakers, optical drive, ExpressCard slot and fingerprint reader

Most of the information on the Ripple is embedded in JPEGs on the product page, so my Google Translate method is falling short. I can pick out a few more tidbits, like a 4-cell battery, weight of 2.1 kilograms and the option of integrated 3G.

Consumer-friendly packaging and impressive tech specs. The fast processor and larger HD may mean sub-par battery life, though, and 4.6 lb is a pretty hefty for a 12" model.
