Epson's Endeavor laptops may not turn many heads (save for the odd Hello Kitty invasion), but the company's latest at least packs some decent specs, as well as a range of configuration options. On the top end, the 15.4-inch NJ5100Pro packs a 2.6GHz Core 2 Duo T7800 processor, along with ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2600 or Mobility FireGL V5600 graphics, some Intel Turbo Memory to speed things up, a max 2GB of RAM, and a 250GB hard drive. You can also get your choice of WUXGA (1,920 x 1,200) or WXGA+ (1,440 x 900) displays, and your choice of Windows XP or Vista, among other options. Look for it to be available in Japan immediately, with prices starting at ¥149,940 and going up to ¥228,690 (or roughly $1,300 to $2,000).

Nice to see an ATI workstation alternative.
but...
I'd like me some RAID please. Also 2GB max of RAM pretty much kills this as a mobile workstation. I eat 2GB for breakfast.
I must add. The 15.4" mobile workstation is very neglected giving this product some advantage. For it's size it's stats impress me.
I would stay away from Intel's Turbo memory. It's been shown to only improve performance in remote circumstances and even hinders it in others.
I didn't know Epson made laptops :|
Since I hate their printers I would never buy their laptops.
They don't..... I have this same laptop. ASUS built this one.
@Ken:
Could you tell me more about intel turbo memory? Will I notice any diff. when surfing the net or playing bioshock?

It looks like another generic laptop from a company such as quanta, just with an epson badge stuck on it.
Close. It's from Asus, sharing a similar chasis with their F3 series.
