NEC has recently announced its LaVie S, where the S stands for Slim. Considering that it’s just 35mm thick, you can feel that the S in its name is more or less justified. It will be going for 150,000 Yen ($1,630), but if you’re on a tight budget, you can always go for the lower specced model with a Celeron P4500 1.86GHz processor at 115,000 Yen ($1,249). Specifications of the higher end model include:
- Intel Core i5-430M (2.26GHz)
- HM55 Express chipset
- 4GB RAM
- 500GB hard drive
- 15.6-inch WXGA LED backlit display
