PC-Koubou Lesance NB laptop rocks Santa Rosa, GeForce 8400

If you're like us, you're constantly on the hunt for a laptop which will bring balance to the Force, unite all nations, and really rock a decent configuration for not a lot of dough. Enter the PC-Koubou Lesance NB, the Santa Rosa based, GeForce 8400 sporting answer to your prayers. The 13.3-inch laptop features a Core 2 Duo T7300 (2GHz) processor, 1GB of memory, and a 100GB hard drive, plus connectivity options like USB, Firewire, eSATA, Gigabit Ethernet, 802.11a/b/n, and SD, MMC and Memory Stick Pro support. The whole harmonious, peace-loving package will run you around $1215, but you'll have to go to Japan to get it -- which is probably a step in the wrong direction if you're buying a budget laptop.

How is an 8400 decent? It's horrible

Sigh.
Okay I'll bite.

Compared to...?

A 7600 Go

Apple: get this, put it in a silver case, call it the new 13" MacBook Pro.

Please.

It's just an Asus w7s. If you really want it, might as well get the original then, eh?

I don't even know why this is news. Engadget really doesn't know anything about the Japanese market...this is a freaking local chain store that's building some laptop in a template. Who cares?

Local is the wrong word, national...whatever. With this sort of attention, they should be posting stuff on Packard Bell in Europe.
