What better to control a ginormous
army of
robot overlords than a notebook ripped straight from the confines of a science fiction control lab? To get those 'bots a-marchin', just boot up the
NEC TYPE-NO1, load the commands (stored on your
USB Pocket Rocket, of course), and unleash your best impression of an
evil dictator's laugh. NEC has teamed up with
Takara to create the presumably mad scientist-approved machine, which sports all the token stickers, labels, and even wallpapers that make this device so similar to those seen laying around Duke Nukem laboratories. Beneath the facade is a LaVie G type L laptop, sporting a 15.4-inch WXGA display, 1.6GHz AMD Mobile Sempron 3200+ processor (Turion 64 X2 TL-50), 1GB of DDR2 RAM, 80-100GB hard drive, dual-layer DVD burner, 802.11a/b/g, and the likely
dangerous "FeliCa" port. Flanked on the side is the very necessary "Emergency Button," which apparently shuts down the machine in case of unexpected intruders. The highly secretive TYPE-NO1 can be reserved starting today, and considering that they'll be limited to 300 units, you should probably make haste if you plan on throwing down your ¥145,530 ($1,231) to ¥174,510 ($1,476).

Wow, that's um, 'geeky'.
*My most sinister* Hahahahaaahaa
Now can I have my handsomely deranged face plastered over a laptop
(Don't get the wrong meaning guys)
All you need is a USB Missile Launcher ($39.99)

Absolutely stupid.
WTF ?????
Oh dear... a machine for the real nerds who never surface in the real world...
"Oh dear... a machine for the real nerds who never surface in the real world..."
It's pretty optimistic of NEC/Takara to say then that there are only 300 of these people. :)
Nah... I bet you that some of those nerds are gonna buy more than one to build a "workstation". :p
hhmm, and still seems to have less stickers on it than most new PC's lol
that thing is well ugly....
wtf is that thing on the left?
Will you be able to play Duke Nukem Forever on it?
Why on earth would something like this need FeliCa? I thought that FeliCa is for subway passes and stuff like that- I can't imagine waving a whole laptop over the FeliCa reader if I take the subway.
