NEC’s LaVie Z Ultrabook has definitely dropped weight: simply 875 grams and priced from $ 1,600 in Japan
Author:
No one complained when we reported NEC’s initial claimed weight of 999 grams (2.2 pounds) for its LaVie Z Ultrabook, but it turns out that statistic is brutally unfair. The 13.3-inch laptop actually tips the scales at just 875 grams (1.9 pounds) thanks to the magnesium lithium alloy used in its 0.59-inch chassis — not bad when you consider that there are still 1.3kg netbooks wandering the planet. Of course, in line with Intel’s official Ultrabook spec, you’re getting a minimum Core i5-3317U processor (yes, that’s Ivy Bridge) and 128GB SSD, plus USB 3.0, SDXC slot, HDMI out and a claimed battery life of 8.1 hours. There’s no word on US pricing yet, but that base spec will set you back ¥130,000 ($ 1,600) in Japan, while the top model with Core i7-3517U and 256GB SSD will add another ¥30,000 ($ 375) to your bill.

NEC reveals LaVie Z Ultrabook will ship with third-gen Intel chips, 1600 x 900 screen resolution
Author: Charity Woods
By all means, we were quite impressed when we first laid eyes on NEC’s LaVie Z early last month, but much to our disappointment, details were a wee bit scarce at that time. Fortunately for us (and you), however, the company’s finally detailed the specs we can expect to see on its 13.3-inch Ultrabook. Among these are — you guessed it — Intel Ivy Bridge CPUs (i5-3317U, i7-3517U) and an above-average 1600 x 900 display — of course, let’s not forget it’s all bundled up in a 999g package, or about 2.2 pounds if the gram system isn’t your thing. As stated earlier, the LaVie Z will be Japan-only once it launches later this summer, though NEC has said it hopes to bring the Ultrabook to other markets at some point in the future. We’ll have to wait and see.

LaVie Touch: NEC’s Windows Tablet Comes With DVD-Drive, Other Add-Ons
Author:
NEC announced [JP] the so-called LaVie Touch for the Japanese market today, a tablet with two rather special features: it’s powered by Windows 7 Home Premium, and it comes with a total of three hardware add-ons out of the box: a mix between stand and DVD-drive (dubbed “Multistation”), a wireless mouse, and a wireless keyboard.
In other words, it won’t be possible to purchase the tablet by itself.
Here are its main specs:
- 10.1-inch IPS LCD panel with 1,280×800 resolution
- Windows 7 Home Premium OS (SP1, 32bit)
- Office Home and Business 2010
- ExTouch UI
- Atom Z670 (1.50GHz) CPU
- Intel SM35 Express chip set
- 2GB memory
- 64GB SSD
- IEEE 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi
- Bluetooth 2.1+EDR
- 1.3MP camera
- ports: 2xUSB, HDMI, SDHC
- 10.6 hours battery life
- size: 263×183×15.8mm, weight: 729g
NEC plans to roll out the LaVie Touch in Japan next month (price including the add-ons: US$ 1,230).

NEC expands Valuestar 3D lineup with two new desktop PCs; laptops say LaVie
Author: Brandon Zimmerman
We’ll have to assume NEC managed to free Willy and that its first 3D venture was a success, as the company’s just revealed a brand new set of stereoscopic screens, one of which is actually not part and parcel of an all-in-one PC. NVIDIA’s 3D Vision kit and active shutter glasses and a 23-inch, 1920 x 1080 monitor (at the requisite 120Hz) accompany this Valuestar L, with a 2.93GHz Core i7-870 processor, GeForce GT 330 GPU, 8GB of memory, 1TB of storage and Blu-ray 3D drive in an attractive white case. There’s also a similarly-sized Valuestar W 3D all-in-one with a 2.53GHz Core i5-460M and GeForce GT 330M graphics, a digital TV tuner, half the memory, a 1.5TB drive and a passive, polarized display. If you’re not interested in wearing glasses while chained to a desk, of course, you could always consider the new LaVie Light netbook, newly refreshed with a dual-core Intel Atom N550. And yes, we know we made a horrible pun. Sometimes we just can’t help ourselves.
