A Japanese company called Marshal (yes, one “l”) announced [JP] the MAL 1925 today, a netbook stand that doubles as a DVD super multi drive, has room for a second HDD and comes with an extra USB 2.0 port. Century’s stand, which I blogged in April, is pretty similar but lacks the slot for an alternative 2.5-inch SATA HDD or SSD.
Dubbed DVD Power Up Dock, the Marshal model is sized at 227×180×16mm and weighs 453g. It’s compatible with Windows 2000/XP and Vista.
The netbook stand will be available only in Japan where it will hit stores in the middle of this month (price: $95). I suggest you contact the Japan Trend Shop or Geek Stuff 4 U if you live outside Nippon and are interested in the device.
Woo! Then netbook will become a more powerful PDA or portable media player as well. One day, it will also became a personal portable home management process center which manage all electronic devices at home. Then the world is amazing!
Another side of netbook is that : more and more devices or ports will make it much heavier than before and conflict with the notebook market. How to let netbook and notebook stay together instead of conflicting is the top question for all laptop vendors.
