Today marked the first of many Core 2 Duo Laptop releases with the very first one this morning coming from Velocity Micro earlier today. Looks like NEC has also unleashed their stable of Core 2 Duo beauties.
"Behind a closed door event for the launch of the most powerful NEC notebooks yet, Mr. Wu Tengguo, NEC Managing Director for South & Southeast Asia Sales, stirred up murmurs of suspicion by making the media agree to a non-disclosure agreement that was to be lifted on the 28th of August. Turns out, the agreement was inline with Intel's embargo of the Core 2 Duo processor for notebooks, which was the real reason behind the agreement. Nevertheless, the big news is that NEC has beaten big-time names such as ASUS, DELL and Sony in unveiling the world�s first Core 2 Duo processor notebooks. Along with the first world's first two Core 2 Duo notebooks, the NEC Versa 6200 and 6210, Mr. Wu also revealed NEC's latest strategy for the Asian region. By leveraging on their position as the first to ship Intel Core 2 Duo notebooks, NEC expects to plough through the local market with momentum to grab leadership of the premium notebook segment. Working hand-in-hand with Intel, NEC also plans to sustain 80% of their lineup based upon the Core 2 Duo processor in an aggressive marketing move to align NEC with its up-market branding goal."
