NEC’s LifeTouch Android Tablet Sprouts Out In The Wild

So there’s not really much to say about NEC and its new seven-inch LifeTouch Android tablet, besides the fact it boasts an ARM Cortex A8 processor, runs an Android 2.1 OS under the lid and scheduled for release in Japan somewhere around October. Apparently, the new slate supports both landscape and portrait view (in case you’d like to read some e-books)  and said to arrive fully customized, mainly for enterprise purposes. Design wise…well, you’ll have to decide for yourselves on this one. At the mean time, make sure you check out the video after the break.

NEC VersaPro VS-7 netbook Gets a Closer Look In Japan

NEC’s super slim Atom Z540 (1.84GHz) VersaPro VS-7  netbook has already made its Japanese debut somewhere in May, but only now gets a closer look, as Akihabara News has taken it for a first ride, coming back full of superlatives about “flawless” HD video the machine can deliver and “freaking light” design the device weights (725g). Other than that, it boasts 64GB of SSD, a 10.6-inch 1208 x 768 screen display, 1GB of RAM to smoothly handle everything that runs,  three USB slots, Ethernet port and of course, a whopping  price of ¥176,000 ($1,850), which pretty well suits price tags from the “Land of the Rising Sun”. Hit the link to see the video, paired with some new images.

NEC Brings Out To The Pond a Newer Hybrid Storage "LaVie Light" Netbook

NEC is about to update its netbooks lineup with a new LaVie Light hybrid storage edition, which is literally the 10.1-inch version in the series. But screen size aside, the latest LaVie Light netbook (AKA: BL350/TA6) also adds a more-classic design, along with a LED-backlit display, Atom N280 processor, 1GB of RAM, 802.11n WiFi, and the dual 16GB SSD and 160GB hard drives, sitting next to each other. Availability isn’t determined yet, but in terms of money, you’ll be able to get this one for an expropriated price of ¥70,000 (around $730), either in Black or White flavors. There are better options for this amount of money, don’t you think?

NEC Joins The Party, Announces The New LaVie Light Netbook

Japanese company NEC introduces its first LaVie Light netbook version, trying to distinguish itself from traditional “all white” design, with a massive black case and a whitish keyboard, that create a constrained overlook, in my opinion. The rest of the specs, pretty much remain the same, including the usual 8.9-inch 1024 x 600 LCD screen, 1.6GHz Intel Atom N270 processor, 1GB of RAM, 1.3MP webcam, VGA output, 3 USB ports, SD slot, 802.11b/g WiFi, 160GB HDD storage and Windows XP Home aboard. The LaVie Light should be available around November, priced almost similar to all other Netbooks, already available in the market.
