Frontier Challenges MacBook Air

Frontier Challenges MacBook Air

The MacBook Air has a new rival now from Frontier, known as the FRLN. While the FRLN won't be as thin as the MacBook Air, it takes up less space with a 12" LED-backlit screen, tipping the scales at 2.75 pounds. It also prides itself in being tough when the situation calls for it, capable of withstanding up to 265 pounds of pressure while surviving drops from up to 2.5 feet without any hiccup. Those suffering from butter fingers can also rejoice knowing the the keyboard itself is water-resistant, so don't worry about leaving your drinks around while working. It is powered by Intel's 800MHz A110 processor and comes with 1GB RAM, an 80GB hard drive and WiFi connectivity. The FRLN will be released in Japan later this month for $1,291. It won't see an official release in the US, so that means you gotta import one if the desire for it is too great to combat.

This laptop is not even close to the MacBook Air. I mean a 800MHZ processor versus a Core 2 Duo 1.6 GHZ. Swipe, pinch, rotate, scroll, etc........
