Hitachi's Prius One type S all-in-one PC

Yep, another all-in-one PC in white for ya here. This time, it's Hitachi's Prius One Type S (AW31S1R) PC which brings a 1.6GHz Celeron M 380 processor, a 17-inch LCD capable of 1280 x 1024 pixels, a maximum of 2GB RAM, Intel 910GML Express graphics, up to 320GB of disk, and a front-mounted slot-loading dual-layer DVD writer which makes good use of that 7.8-inch of depth. You also get 5 x USB 2.0 ports, a multi-format memory card slot, Firewire, modem, and outs for D-Sub 15 and S/PDIF. Yours for a steep, estimated starting price of  ¥160,000 (or about $1,389) when these drop July 15th in Japan.

Prius?
Is it a hybrid computer with solar power?

Lowest emissions of any all-in-one PC?

[Ian Hawkins (piemmm) @ Jul 6th 2006 8:53AM]

Guess it would be environmentally as the article states the CPU is a whopping '1.6*M*Hz' (*'s added for emphasis) :)

All that jazz witha celeron processor? what a waste

[jkgm @ Jul 6th 2006 10:00AM]

The Mac haters are going to be paying a lot more for a lot less with that fancy Celeron M!

[Ross Allan @ Jul 6th 2006 10:05AM]

CPU is actually 1.6GHz

[Cliff @ Jul 6th 2006 10:55AM]

lol 1.6mhz good catch

[Andrew @ Jul 6th 2006 11:28AM]

Worst. computer. ever.

Good lord, that's horrid. You'd be better off with an iMac if you want an all-in-one package.

[ksmc @ Jul 6th 2006 1:27PM]

is it just me or does the aspect ratio of the screen look odd? looks square to me.

[Ian S @ Jul 6th 2006 1:42PM]

It looks like an iMac but designed by one of those budget far-east companies.

Oh wait, it is...

[Jeff Foster @ Jul 6th 2006 2:33PM]

haha... so what, you get less than half the processor power, a puny graphics card, a few extra USB ports and a $8 memory card reader for the same price as an iMac that's much prettier and more powerful?

pretty lame. :

This might be something interesting if it were ...i dont know, $400? and maybe not so fugly? add some decent software for video editing and DVD burning? and maybe add a built in camera... throw in some bluetooth and maybe you have something! (or maybe you have just another crappy iMac knockoff.)

I wonder how much that'd costs if it were actually comparable to the iMac? starts to make iMac prices look pretty good! :)

Prius Type S computer?

I'm waiting for the Type R.

[rutsy5 @ Jul 6th 2006 4:45PM]

"7.8 inch depth"?? as in 3 times thicker than an iMac??? I'm confused...just buy an iMac

[SunSeeker @ Jul 6th 2006 6:23PM]

[hot chik @ Jul 6th 2006 7:15PM]
