It’s pretty much a staple item in Corporate Japan, which probably explains why Panasonic hasn’t offshored production as everyone else did.

I think it’d be great to see more overseas business pick up for these computers — it’s one of those classic bits of Japanese technology that looks hopelessly outdated until you use it, and then you hope it never changes. My label for such things is “In-N-Out Burger Technology,” for reasons that should be obvious to my fellow Californians...

Is the trackpad comparable to a macbook? I've yet to see an equal or anything remotely close.

Their trackpad is bad for me because they stick with circler form on most models. It's bad just because very small. It support scrolling by tracing circle edge, but not much worth.

Meanwhile they also stick with old fashioned non-isolated keyboard. It's great.
