What is a DeskNote?
A Desknote is a cross between a Desktop and Notebook. It is a full-feature portable computer, which brings the latest desktop computing power and upbeat technology at the same launching speed of an equivalent desktop computer.
 
Who Would Need a DeskNote?
For computer users who have been compromising among portability, computing power, and affordability, a DeskNote eliminates these trade-offs.
 
What Benefits a DeskNote Can Deliver!

A DeskNote carries a pricing tag similar to the sum of a desktop computer and an LCD monitor, while gives users the luxury of mobile computing on demand.
 
   
Compact & Mobile Battery Outside
 Time to Market
DeskNote gives traditional desktop users the latest computing technology without any waiting period. With its "battery outside", DeskNote operates exactly as a traditional Desktop computer. A DeskNote performs the same speed of a desktop, uses less space than a desktop, and functions as well as a desktop.

Operating a DeskNote is just as easy as 1-2-3. Plug power in, turn the power on, log it in, and you are in business. Making a DeskNote mobile is also as easy as 1-2-3. Turn off the power, close the cover, unplug the cord, and you are on the run.

Moreover, for data conscientious users or for continuing gratification on playing games in case of power blackout, the external battery companion serves as a mini uninterrupted power supply to extend a DeskNote operation for a substantial period beyond.
By relocating "battery outside", a DeskNote enables the idea of designing a notebook computer with conventional desktop engineering and technology. In addition, a DeskNote serves as a traditional notebook with a great degree of portability with its advanced external battery option.
 
Affordability and Reliability
By utilizing desktop based microprocessor and ample space left over from "battery outside" technology, a DeskNote can engineer less expensive design to make a DeskNote as affordable as a Desktop.

By relocating battery outside, a DeskNote on-going reliability can be extended up to twice fold, thanks to less thermal and heat dissipation generated from original battery inside.

Traditionally, a notebook user had to wait for a similar specification notebook 3 to 6 months behind when a similar specification desktop product was launched. With DeskNote design, this product launching latency is over.

Power savvy notebook users no longer have to wait for the latest products. They can enjoy the same technology and maintain usual portability by using a DeskNote product.
