NEC's Powermate P series breaks free

Not sure how we missed this the first time around but NEC has an interesting little all-in-oner set to break from its Japanese borders. The Powermate P (P5010 to be specific) combines that 17.1-inch 1440 x 900 pixel display with a 1.6GHz AMD Turion 64x2 TL-52 processor, integrated ATI Radeon X1200 graphics, up to 4GB of memory and 200GB SATA disk, WiFi, and slot loading dual-layer DVD writer. Ok, not a workhorse, but not too shabby for a 4-kg (8.8-pound) slab. Available now in Australia and New Zealand (and Japan of course) for about $1,741 of the US green or $1,999 of that local Aussie stuff.

if I'm correct this isn't one of the contest prizes, so you don't have to post about winning it or whatnot

an iMac ripoff.

Sorry, just had to.

[LaughingMan Posted Nov 23rd 2007 2:26AM]

I would have passed you off as a troll then I realize an iMac at the same price gets you better hardware.

But maybe not. I don't know how much computers go for in Australia/New Zealand usually go for. I'm assuming a lot more than what we Americans get them for.

Actually computers are pretty cheap in Oz... especially with the AU$ cruising against the US peso!

I want to win!

[(Unverified) Posted Nov 23rd 2007 1:54AM]

[(Unverified) Posted Nov 23rd 2007 1:55AM]

sorry got a little carried away there with the contest.. im not flooding.

[(Unverified) Posted Nov 23rd 2007 1:53AM]

Lame, just get an iMac

[holycow Posted Nov 23rd 2007 2:03AM]

looks pretty good.. but a lack of numpad is not good at all.. 19" + Numpad wouldve been better imo

I like it!

Is it just me, or does this remind anyone else of the Macintosh Portable - circa 1989.

I like this. It's 'original' although I'd like to see a 19" version.

Haha, for once Australia (my home) is one of 2 exclusive countries (not counting Japan, of course) to have a revolutionary new device. Woot!

finally, a portable with a handle - something I have always wanted. Presumably the 'desk tidy' is a slip-in chunk-o-plastic to add value. Hopefully the handle is removable if needed. Interesting design.

Hurrah! luggable!!!

[dvmrp Posted Nov 23rd 2007 9:03AM]

it digs out a term from my memory --- Portable Computer.
