Fukato's new netbook, the Datacask is much more powerful than what was offered in the past, and one of the most notable improvements is the change of processor from a lowly AMD Geode LX 500MHz processor to Intel's Atom 1.6GHz processor.The first Fukato Datacask netbook was announced earlier this year, and the company promised a mini-notebook with an 8 inch, 800 x 480 pixel display and use a 500MHz AMD Geode LX CPU. Now the company has upgraded the specs to include a 10.2 inch, 1024 x 600 pixel display and a 1.6GHz Intel Atom CPU.

In other words, the upcoming Fukato Datacask Jupiter 1014A will ship this month with what we can now safely say are industry standard component. Other specifications include :-

  • 10.2" LCD display at 1,024 x 600 resolution
  • 160GB hard drive
  • Choice between Linux and Windows
  • The remaining specifications are expected to be within the industry standard. The Linux box will cost around 369 Euros, while the Windows-powered model will require you to fork out another 30 Euros
