JVC enters ultraportable market

JVC has jumped into the ultraportable market with the MP-XV841 Mini Note PC, a Centrino G
machine targeting the "mobile professional" (these target markets always sound so goofy don't they? Or maybe that's just the tone we take in our heads). It's 9.2 x 7 x 1.5 inches, with a 8.9 inch screen and weighs 3.2 pounds.
Surprisingly, it's also got Dolby Digital surround sound and long enough battery life to watch a movie or two, which is always nice. The keyboard—brace yourself, now—isn't the most comfortable to type on, but it also packs a DVD/CD-RW
drive, two USB ports, a FireWire port, 100Mbps Ethernet, modem, PCI type II, and SD slots for $2399 (which is why we really don't buy ultraportables).
