Japanese company Frontier is back with its first CULV-based notebook called the FRNV1.

If you’re looking for a laptop like the Macbook Air but stronger than the FRNL laptop by Frontier might be a good choice. It features a waterproof keyboard, a body that can resist up to 120kg of pressure. The FRNL is powered by an Intel A110 CPU (800Mhz), 1GB of RAM and comes with a 12.1” LED backlight LCD with SXGA resolution, 80GB of HDD, and wifi A/B/G. No word on when, where, and how much it’s going for, but it’ll probably be pretty pricey. [Akihabara]
