NEC unveils Mate MF all-in-one PC, UltraLight VC laptop in Japan

Personally, we think the PowerMate P4000 and P6000 all-in-one machines are entirely more striking than the abominable NEC Mate MF all-in-one, but maybe we'd feel otherwise seeing it in person. All that aside, the PC-in-a-monitor includes a 17-inch panel (1,280 x 1,024 resolution), 2GHz Intel Celeron E1400, 1GB of RAM, an 80GB hard drive, DVD drive, six USB ports and Windows Vista Business. Its partner in crime, the much more palatable UltraLite VC laptop (shown after the jump), checks in with a 12.1-inch LCD (1,280 x 800 resolution), a 1.2GHz Celeron 723 CPU (a Core 2 Duo SU9300 is optional and highly recommended), 1GB of RAM, 80GB HDD (SSD is again, optional), a fingerprint reader, SD card slot and your choice of OS. Both machines should be ready for consumption next month, with the starting prices pegged at ¥131,250 ($1,415) and ¥149,000 ($1,606) in order of mention.

[fp @ Dec 10th 2008 12:14PM]

One ugly MF you could say.

[Kris120890 @ Dec 10th 2008 8:10AM]

They were looking Okay until I saw the price. Thats just a mile too high.

[Ann Sheeley @ Dec 10th 2008 8:16AM]

They look interesting to me. Will look forward to seeing them in near future.

[Mobius_1 @ Dec 10th 2008 8:20AM]

Your comment is full of exciting words and vocabulary, sir.

meh

[Mobius_1 @ Dec 10th 2008 8:18AM]

Why would you buy that all in one over a nicely equipped 17-inch laptop?

Those specs look like s***

[Abdo @ Dec 10th 2008 8:20AM]

1.2 GHz processor (Celeron!) ? 1 GB RAM? That's not gonna cut it...

[Mobius_1 @ Dec 10th 2008 8:21AM]

Cut what? Cake? Yeah I agree it's too thick for that as well...

[iPhoney @ Dec 10th 2008 8:25AM]

Ha, it's a fugley iMac rip-off

[StalematE @ Dec 10th 2008 8:41AM]

wow, you're like fusion fuzo, iEye and Clak rolled into one. Give me your email address, i'll send you the bus schedule so you can throw yourself in front of one.

[Kris120890 @ Dec 10th 2008 8:42AM]

I wonder when you were going to change your name iEye.

[Kris120890 @ Dec 10th 2008 8:44AM]

Thats because it IS iEye. His profile is still under the name iEye

[Adderz @ Dec 10th 2008 8:53AM]

This has double the amount of USB ports that my iMac has. *sigh*

Apple really are minimalist....i swear some netbooks have more ports...


Getting back on topic, this reminds me of those desk accessories you get at the $2 shop like the flip up digital clock....

Though I kinda like the UltraLite VC, I'm still somewhat amazed to see that it's yet heavier still than the Toshiba Portege R500 series and above ultraportables.

2GHz Celeron with 1GB of RAM on Vista Business? I've got a Core Duo Laptop with 2GB of RAM and vista still has some slow downs.
The only way they could ever sell these are to slash the price in half and switching to winXP...unless their target market are idiots.
