NEC → NEC TYPE-N01 Duke Nukem Notebook

NEC TYPE-N01

Science fiction has just collided head-on with science fact as NEC and Takara have joined forces to create the world’s first ever TYPE-01 super-powered Duke Nukem notebook.

Some of you may not remember Duke Nukem. These days, fads come and go so quickly, it is hard to keep up with, I know. For those who don’t know, Duke Nukem was a game that sold many units back in the early nineties about a character, Duke Nukem, who fought against a post-apocalyptic future. I believe that latter versions were a little darker and more violent, and I’m not certain what they did with the franchise recently.

NEC → NEC Versa Pro VY20 with Core 2 Duos

NEC Versa Pro VY20

It's not quite specced to kill, but NEC's new VersaPro YV20 laptop doesn't look too shabby, and it's a BTO unit, so you can always flesh out the spec sheet if need be. What counts is the 2GHz Core 2 Duo T7200 processor option, and of course the Radeon Xpress 1250 graphics shouldn't do much harm. There's also "256MB+512MB×2" of dual-channel DDR2 RAM -- which sounds a bit like 1280MB, but we're no math-whizzes.
