Sotec's intros PC Station BJ / BX desktops and WH5513P laptop
Japan's Sotec is kicking out a duo a new desktops and a stark white laptop, and while the specifications on the trio aren't anything to phone home about, they could indeed fit the bill if you're budget is tight. The WinBook WH5513P series contains an Intel Core 2 Duo T5500 CPU, 1GB of DDR2 RAM, a 120GB hard drive, a 15.4-inch 1,280 x 800 resolution LCD, and a few hot keys to give you one-touch access to your email and the internet. Additionally, you'll find a dual-layer DVD writer, 802.11a/b/g, and Windows Vista running the show. On the desktop front (shown after the jump), the PC Station BJ series sports a slim, compact form factor, an Intel Celeron D, Pentium 4, or Core 2 Duo E4300 depending on model, up to 1GB of DDR2 RAM, between 250GB and 320GB of HDD space, a dual-layer DVD burner, Windows Vista, and a number of matching displays between 17- and 22-inches. The PC Station BX micro-tower includes Intel's E4300 or E6320 Core 2 Duo CPU, Vista, a gig of RAM, integrated Intel graphics, and a PCI-Express slot. All three units are slated to ship later this week, and while prices vary depending on configuration, none of them are apt to break the bank.[Via Impress]
Sotec's PC Station BJ slim Conroe media center
Japan's Sotec just threw down a couple of Core 2 Duo towers meant for the motherland. The most interesting of the two is the Windows XP Media Center Edition PC Station BJ (pictured) which bundles a 19-inch 1440x900 (WXGA+) display with that 3.7-inch slim (though not that slim) tower sporting Intel's 1.86GHz E6300 Core 2 Duo proc and 945G Express graphics, a 320GB disk and up to 2GB DDR2 memory, 7-in-1 memory card reader, dual-layer DVD multi-drive, 7.1ch audio, and a healthy dose of PCI, USB 2.0, and other in/outs. Not a bad piece of kit for ¥129,800 or about $1,093. Yeah, they also announced the minimalistic, PC Station PX chub of an old school tower. But other than starting at about ¥89,800 or $756 for a taste of Merom Conroe, it's just what you'd expect. Check it after the break, if you must.[Via Impress]
