Hold me.

Edit: From what I can make out, they come with 3 special Sega windows themes, 60 tracks of music from Sega's big titles. Top plates can be purchased seperately, so you can get all 4 with one laptop. Top plates are 8,925 yen each.
Edit2: Some little pictures of the Sega one.

Thanks for those pics and info Dwayne, I added your post in the OP!

To be fair, Sega's never exited the hardware market. They've bowed out of the home console market, true, but their arcade machines are still top of the line - just google Ringedge and look.

 

[Killthee]

Dreamcast 2 baby!

 

[tiggerkiddo]

I would buy one but not for those prices! Stop taking cues from Apple darn it!

 

[mrgone]

Hey look, it's The Surreal Life for game consoles.

 

[Rat Salad]

More powerful than Durango!

And would sell more than Sony Vita! LOL.

 

[Rat Salad]

Those things are seriously over priced. Too bad theyre not skins you can slap on your tablets and laptops.

 

[Tizoc]

^Everything in Japan is overpriced.

I actually thought they'd release laptops with emulation for their consoles lol.

 

[FrostuTheNinja]

Those look...

Pretty hot!

 

[xk0sm0sx]

Now we can use the power of Blast Processing in our daily computing!

 

[Samurai_Heart]

Let's hope whenever these power up, it'll somehow play the "Sega" tune =D

I'd die if the Saturn/Dreamcast one had the console bootup

 

[DesuNe]

These just don't look good at all.

I'm sure you could search DeviantArt and find much nicer designs and print your own badass cover.

Is my reading comprehension off, or are these just netbooks with shells that have console branding/design on them?

Because that would be GREAT if my comprehension is off.

 

[Sir_Crocodile]

This should really have been a wario thread with "..." after "market"

 

[Shion]

It begins.

Because that would be GREAT if my comprehension is off.

the verge:

Each model is offered in "light," "standard," "high-spec," and "premium" configurations, all with 15.6-inch 1080p displays and up to Nvidia GeForce 650M graphics with a 2.4 GHz Intel Core i7 processor.

Not exactly netbook stats if wanted, though I do not know if the prices are within normal range of those specs.

EDIT:

Yeah, definitely not netbook stats.

Further specs.

 

[zephervack]

I wonder if they are just shitty paper stickers or actually beveled premium decals, if only we could see one in real life.

I think thats exactly what they are.

 

[snkryo]

What, no Master System? Tsk.

That would've been the one I bought.


Cool designs though!.

 

[partyphone]

releasing netbooks in 2013?

way to capitalize on the hot trends, Sega.

 

[Karak]

Holy Christ awesome. And man those are not netbook stats at all!

 

[fart town usa]

dat saturn...

 

[grimshawish]

SSD's? Nice.
Would make sense for SEGA to do a more serious computing push though; its their future atm.

 

[Takamura-San]

Man the saturn one ... want it so bad.

 

[Piers]

As long as the Dreamcast version has no Windows CE.

 

[twinturbo2]

I want the Saturn one so bad.

 

[Meelow]

In only a matter of time we will see the Sega Dreamcast successor!

 

[Cimarron]

Given the fact that this is Sega I am going to guess that there is no emulator software included. :-(

 

[Takamura-San]

Why would you think there would be an emulator installed on the computer?

 

[Why would you do that?]

They look like full sized laptops, not netbooks. They even include an i7, a processor IIRC not in any netbook... The price is starting to make a tiny bit more sense.

I wish it were a netbook or subnotebook, though...

 

[EdibleExplosives]

Why do I really, really want one of these? The Saturn one especially.

Edit: Okay no, fuck those prices.

 

[BosSin]

I want the Megadrive one

 

[PandaPedinte]

The Dreamcast one looks awesome!

 

[Dennis]

Fuckers forgot the Sega Master System.

Home to the greatest JRPG of all time: Phantasy Star

 

[Ainaurdur]

I also am disappointed that they have a generic SEGA one and not a Master System design. The SMS would be my first choice. Would have to go with the Mega Drive out of these 4 shown though. Good thing I am not eager to get an expensive laptop any time soon.

As for emulation, they probably would be happy to see you buy some of their Genesis releases off Steam or something.

 

[MrT-Tar]

I want the Saturn one so bad...

 

[jluedtke]

Alright, you a-holes just got me excited for a Dreamcast-themed Steambox.

I hate you all.

 

[CrazyTank940]

That saturn one looks awesome

 

[CTLance]

I kind of want one and I'm not even sure why.

More than 1k€ for an i3 machine is just a tiny bit on the rich side though. Then again, I have no clue how consumer electronics of that kind are priced in Japan. Might be competitive in that market.

Any track listing for the included music? Also, what software is packed in, and is it good/bad/annoying stuff? JapanGAF, we need you!

Yeah, the prices are kinda turn off. :/

But man, dat aesthetic!

 

[DaBoss]

The Saturn one is the only one that looks good, IMO.

 

[Dr Dogg]

Oh I can't chose just... I'd want all of them. To be honest though if they did a white Saturn one I'd be all over that.

 

[Xanadu]

seriously? this is useless

 

[kunonabi]

If these released in the states for a reasonable price I'd buy one for PSO2 in a heartbeat.

 

[EteRnal PAL]

Dreamcast one is sooooooo sexy! DO WANT!

 

[Katzii]

If these were released internationally and I were more financially well-off, I'd be all over that Mega Drive one.

 

[wildfire]

It annoys me that none of these can run the games for each console they represent with guarantied backwards compatibility. I would shell out top dollar for the Dreamcast and buy Shining Force 3 off of a Sega app store if they were smart.

 

[geebee]

Dat brushed metal! I want them all.. especially the blue Sega model.

 

[trinest]

The dreamcast one looks the best, but I need to know why they are doing this, people are jumping out of the netbook industry.
