Panasonic R3 Review

Keeping the same format as the Panasonic R2, the newer version seems to be much more enticing. With special emphasis on design and appearance, it proves to be a positive remake of the slim trilogy. Carrying the Intel Pentium-M 1.1GHz Dolan processor, the R3 keeps its small portable design without diminishing speed. It comes standard with a 60GB HDD and 512mb, which is upgradeable to a 1GB. Designers added a small bonus with the Panasonic R series by allowing users to pick an outer shell color. By choosing from fourteen different design colors users can express themselves on a higher level than just their desktop wallpaper.
