NEC's LaVie G laptop gets Kimi Kissed

NEC's LaVie lineup has been dressed up in just about every costume imaginable, but for whatever reason, it has yet to be embossed with the characters from Kimi Kiss -- until now, that is. Fans of the series will surely appreciate the design cues, but the hard part will be choosing from the smorgasbord of color options. Nevertheless, those actually concerned with what's inside the chassis will find a 2GHz Mobile Sempron 3600+ CPU, 512MB of RAM, an 80GB hard drive, DVD combo drive and a 15.4-inch 1,280 x 800 resolution panel. A bit underpowered for ¥90,783 ($879), but even NEC knows you aren't looking at this one for the exquisite componentry.

What the hell is Kimi Kiss?

[Michael @ Mar 6th 2008 3:27AM]

allmighty google says it's an anime

[skulldriveshaft @ Mar 6th 2008 3:32AM]

@Michael: that's a freakin hilarious avatar

But I can't help thinking this is REALLY WEIRD for an adult to be carrying around.

I am waiting for a hentai themed notebook just to scare the crap out of others on my flight.

"Why is that tentacle...arm...thing...you know what, never mind. SECURITY!"

[Nathan @ Mar 6th 2008 3:31AM]

That's right. I went there.

[kimatg @ Mar 6th 2008 8:06AM]

um, though it is a dating sim, Kimi kiss isn't really hentai.

[happy_penguin @ Mar 6th 2008 3:36AM]

Damn. I can't wait for the Powerpuff Girls and Hello Kitty versions. o_O

Either I'm blind...
or that's the biggest enter / return key I've EVER seen.

Japanese keyboards are like that. More funkiness includes- @ is its own key, ' is Shift-7, " is Shift-2, semicolon and colon are separate keys, mostly punctuation shifted around.

[Richard @ Mar 6th 2008 3:41AM]

aah! so that's what a lolitop looks like

[Ian @ Mar 6th 2008 4:28AM]

Kya! It's Hoshino-san!

*cough* Not that I've ever watched Kimikiss *cough cough*. Speaking of which, how popular must a show be for its characters to be emblazoned on a laptop surface? This doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me.

[Sirius @ Mar 6th 2008 4:56AM]

Hm.. you know.. V is /really/ close to C.. LaVie.. LaCie.. hm.. typo? :P

[Misty @ Mar 6th 2008 5:46AM]

Want.

[FlamingGhost @ Mar 6th 2008 6:09AM]

That is the fuglyest laptop I have EVER seenn!! Urrgghhhhh!!

[Evan @ Mar 6th 2008 7:54AM]

Sempron... 512MB... and it comes with Vista? Anime characters printed on the lid aren't doing to help that machine run Vista well.

[Magallanes @ Mar 6th 2008 12:14PM]

Fine fine, but where is it the suzumiya haruhi notebook ?. (may be the last way to obtain one is to bribe some else).

Or even better, a DEATH NOTEbook.

[tekdroid @ Mar 6th 2008 12:31PM]

If the translation is accurate, this is unusual:
"The battery is a nickel-hydrogen (with optional lithium ion allowed)"

Hmm. Nickel Hydrogen? May have to investigate.

Colour choices are superb.
Laptop looks great to me (from what I can see).

Anything that frees humanity from charcoal grey, black and silver plastic is fine by me.

Kimi Kiss I can do without.
512MB running Vista is a definite no-no.
CD-RW drive having only DVD-ROM capability is a low-end no-no.
AMD M690V chipset (integrated video) is a minus in my books too.

thank god it's not EVA...

[Amol @ Mar 6th 2008 2:42PM]

キスキス恋してるよ~

[Kiss Kiss I'm falling in love]

Now I wonder if Hoshino and crew will add extra power for it to run Vista on such and underpowered lappy. You never know the power of love...
