NEC's LaVie laptops haven't exactly been relying on their looks to get noticed, but the company seems to be trying to change that, recently introducing a new "3D" paint job option for those wanting to stand out in a crowd. According to The Register, the laptops make use of a special metallic paint which, "when surrounded by a magnetic field," magically displays a "hologram-style" pattern. Otherwise, the laptops appear to be thoroughly ordinary, boasting a 15.4-inch display and your choice of AMD Sempron or Turion 64 X2 processors. Not surprisingly, they're also only available in Japan, where they apparently start around the $860 mark.
ugh i hate 2 color notebooks like that. it makes them looks ugly and toy like. and CHEAP!
tacky and ugly....go away
furthermore when are people going to be randomly surrounded by a magnetic field in public?
2 words :BAD TASTE.
Of course this can get worse just add pink + hello kitty stuff + absurd price tag.
