Personally, we think the PowerMate P4000 and P6000 all-in-one machines are entirely more striking than the abominable NEC Mate MF all-in-one, but maybe we'd feel otherwise seeing it in person. NEC's UltraLite VersaPro VC 12.1-inch laptop: a rugged 2.14-pounder originally appeared on Engadget on Mon, 08:13:00 EST. Pre-order now, nicely spec'd for about ¥271,950 or about $2,351 when these ship in late January. You can even squeeze out 14.5 hours off an optional battery if you don't mind the added weight. The 12.1-inch laptop with up to a 1280x1024 pixel display can be configured with a 1.06GHz Core Duo U2400 or Celeron M 423 processor, Intel 945GMS Express graphics, up to 1.5GB of DDR2 memory and 100GB 5400rpm SATA disk, dual-layer DVD writer, 802.11a/b/g WiFi, and security via fingerprint scanner and FeliCa port. In what should be an oxymoron of features, these ultra-lightweights start at just 970-grams (2.14-pounds) yet are rugged enough to withstand up to 150-kg of pressure to the case.
#VERSAPRO VT C UPDATE#
NEC has an update to their rugged, UltraLite series of laptops in the chute with this, the VersaPro VC. NEC blesses new VersaPro VY20 line with Core 2 Duo originally appeared on Engadget on Tue, 11:15:00 EST.
The VR and VE units start at a competitive 130,000 yen (about $1100 US), no word on the VW, and we're sure they're all quite a lot more than that once their BTO specs are all maxed out.
There's just a 40GB HDD and a DVD/CD-RW combo drive on the low-end, but those can be bumped up to 100GB and one of those fancy "super multi drive" units, and the 802.11a/b/g WiFi and gigabit Ethernet should do just fine. The laptop sports up to a 15-inch UXGA display in the VW edition, while the VR and VE types max out at SXGA+.
There's also "256MB+512MB×2" of dual-channel DDR2 RAM - which sounds a bit like 1280MB, but we're no math-whizzes. What counts is the 2GHz Core 2 Duo T7200 processor option, and of course the Radeon Xpress 1250 graphics shouldn't do much harm. It's not quite specced to kill, but NEC's new VersaPro YV20 laptop doesn't look too shabby, and it's a BTO unit, so you can always flesh out the spec sheet if need be.
