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. What counts is the 2GHz Core 2 Duo T7200 processor option, and of course the Radeon Xpress 1250 graphics shouldn't do much harm. There's also "256MB+512MB×2" of dual-channel DDR2 RAM -- which sounds a bit like 1280MB, but we're no math-whizzes. 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 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 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.NEC just updated its VersaPro line-up with the Type VE Series (available in BTO), our 15.1” notebook feature a 1280x800 LCD resolution, a Core 2 Duo T7250 at 2GHz, 80GB of HDD, 1GB or RAM on its very basic version, but also received an “Eco Button” which will in fact decrease by 20% your energy consumption by lowering the CPU speed and the brightness of your screen... Well far for being as “Green” as Greenpeace would have expected but nice to be able to save some battery lifespan.Read more at Akihabaranews.
