NEC's L series is back -- now in four exciting colors!

The last time we saw a LaVie netbook we were seriously taken aback by the company's apparent decision to base its design on that of a ten year old Micron, so it's nice to see that NEC Japan will soon be releasing another of their (relatively) classy L series machines. Due out Christmas Day for about ¥175,000 (about $1,950) the LL750 sports a 15.4-inch, 1280 x 800 LCD display, a 2.4GHz Core 2 Duo with Intel graphics, 4GB of memory, 320GB storage, HDMI out and a FeliCa port. No sure on Stateside availability, but lucky consumers in Japan will get their choice between white, pink, black, and red -- how debonair!

Wow... MacBook pricing on an NEC. Very bold.

Is "bold" the right word?

[Peter @ Dec 22nd 2008 5:20PM]

"Foolish" would be a more appropriate word

I could build a pretty legit laptop for 2 G's.
So... I think the pricing is...
Ludicrous.

Last one (linked) looked nice and distinctive, this one looks horribly bland. Still, I guess it'll do the job (and for that price, it better).

distinctive, certainly.

Fujitsu is still the better PC maker IMO
