Re: Mitsubishi sub-notebook


Oh you are referring their new model "Pedion".
Yes, it's really a new, aggressive design.
I checked their web page and found that only Japanese information
is available at the moment.   The URL is


   http://www.melco.co.jp/service/pedion/htm/pedi_01.htm (for photo)
and
   http://www.melco.co.jp/service/pedion/htm/pedi_02.htm (for specs).


Unfortunately they are in Japanese, but maybe you can feel what
it is.


Also I phoned their costomer desk and found out:


  Price:  200MHz Pentium model   576 K yen (aggressive pricing!)
          233MHz Pentium model   64.8K yen
          I/O Base unit (CD-ROM, FDD, etc)   50K yen.


They say the model is really new so you can only see it at
their Gotanda show room, Tokyo.
