What we know as the astronomically expensive Toughbook (http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/24/durable-faceoff-and-torture-test-panasonics-toughbook-30-vs-g/) laptops over here, the Japanese know as the wildly spendy Let's Note (http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/29/panasonic-adds-windows-7-to-laptop-line-unveils-lets-note-n8-a/) machines over there. Their nomenclature is today getting upgraded by one, as the F9, N9, and S9 Let's Notes make their debut housing a Core i5-520M processor. We like the F9's 14.1-inch display and 1440 x 900 resolution best -- those are pretty much ideal dimensions for a portable workhorse -- but the real new hotness is the R9, which crams a Core i7-620UM (http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/12/intel-arrandale-chips-detailed-priced-and-dated/) into essentially the size of a netbook. 2GB of DDR3 RAM and 250GB storage drives are standard across the range, and the Japanese release is scheduled for February 17. In other news, a 17-inch Dell Inspiron with Core i5-430M guts is now up for sale on Staples for a measly $649, while a similarly specced HP dv4 can also be found for a Benjamin more.
