A look back on popular stories from today in a specific year.

How about 90% ugly? I'm for the environment and all, but come on. The top machine looks like a 1990's Packard Bell.
@italidesign i dunno, the 90's packard thing kind of makes me nostalgia, kind of
@italidesign
These machines are 100% destined for (Japanese) offices. No one there cares what they look like, small, functional, and not having each one pump out 100W+ (in summer) is where it's at.
@italidesign
Reminds me of this Dell: http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/dell-christens-the-usff-with-optiplex-780-mini-pc/
@bebop It looks like the dell that is on my desk at work right now.
Businesses don't care about looks, they'll eat this thing up if it reduces electricity costs for a 4 floor cubical farm by even 5%.
Why does being good for the environment have to be so damn ugly.
And 50% look-alike with the PC-FX, with is always a good thing.
...and 100% UGLY.
Apparently, "Mate ME" is what all the Tim Tebow inspired college kids are saying when an application crashes and they lose their term paper. Interesting to see NEC tapping into this meme.
@Bosco OMG, I just saw the VersaPro "VD". Seriously? That will go over with the college crowd like blistery crotch sores.
@Bosco
Hahaha!
"Look! Santa gave me VD!"
@Bosco
VD is nothing to clap about
seriously thought this came with windows me
I am confused and disturbed by this computer's request.
No, I didnt not say Mate ME
This is not only ugly as sin, but it's a TERRIBLE name! Mate ME? Really guys?
The first things I look for when deciding on which computer to buy is how much of it is made from recycled material and how much power it consumes. The last things I look at are the components because they just aren't that important compared to showing people how "green" I am.
Mate ME !
Finally a desktop computer that's made for Porn and isn't afraid to say so!
GI JOOOOOOE!
what?
Up next, the ultra portable netbook version, the NEC go-nad.
This would make a good computer to put inside my fridge. Every room or room-like object in my house will have a computer by Christmas.
How could they achieve a 23W power consumption using Core i5 and i7 chips?
@AlCabon
Perhaps they're underclocked. That's only a guess, though.
Making good for the environmental damage you've caused? Way to misplace blame from the consumer who dumps this crap - who's demand make these itmes exist.
@RecycledBottle
Just think, if you committed suicide you'd actually be helping to save the planet. Something to think long and hard about.
@(unverified) - Wow. I guess you are not responsible for anything you do. Not even anonymous personal attacks on the internet. Coward.
@RecycledBottle
It was funny, and made a lot more sense than whatever you were trying to say.
NEC should just stick to making monitors.
Mate ME = Kill ME in spanish.
Damn right that thing will either scare you to death, or be so horrified about it that you will throw it out of the window...
As usual, it´s all about the looks rather than specs / benefits, but hey, I´m engaged to a model, so who I am to speak?
Mate ME pls.
OKTHNXBAI
There's a special going on now:
If you go for the Mate ME, they throw in the VD for free.
