Panasonic R7 Review - Power efficient and Compact Notebook
Panasonic R7 is an extremely compact notebook and is suited for on the move professionals and students. Battery life of over 8 hours(!) is hard to beat and on top of it the notebook weighs only 2lbs (less than 1Kg).
R7 has a built in display of 10.4" XGA TFT which offers resolutions up to 1024×768. This laptop comes with 1GB RAM which can be extended to a maximum of 2GB. This machine is powered by a Intel Core 2 Duo U7600 1.2GHZ and has all the standard ports (WiFi, Modem, LAN, USB 2.0 etc.). The default HDD is 80GB which you can extend up to 256GB.
Overall this machine looks sleek. The keyboard is water proof and Panasonic claims that this machine can withstand 100kg of weight on it!
Depending on the options you choose, Panasonic R7 price varies between $2000 and $3000. I would suggest the 2GB RAM upgrade if you are planning to buy this little laptop.
Panasonic R7 is ideal if you are looking for a laptop you can take outside for long periods. But don’t expect any stellar performance if you decide to play games on it!
