Title: My new laptop
Post by: jemkeys on Wed, 23 July 2008, 10:56:54

It's a Panasonic R7!  Magnesium case, 2.2 pounds, and it can survive dumping water on the keyboard!  ;)

I think we need a video of you pouring water on the keyboard to prove it.  :)

Nice toy you got there.  What are the specs?  (CPU, ram, storage, battery life, etc)

Those Panasonics look really nice, unfortunately we only get a few models here in th US.

1.06ghz, 1GB RAM, 80GB HDD, specs say 8 hour battery life (which I haven't fully tested yet).

And I'm not pouring water on it to test their claims, lol.  But if you're really curious, there's plenty of braver Panasonic owners on youtube who have done it.

EDIT:  Oh, and it's made in Japan.  I'll probably find some like-minded brethren on this board in saying: I look at the country of origin on EVERYTHING, lol.  I'm a fan of anything made in the highly-industrialized capitalist nations.
