Looks like Epson can't have enough of their Endeavor range of laptops - which is why they have released the new Endeavor NT2850, available in boring black and a new white edition. Stylish to the core, these babies sport 15" LCD displays and are no bigger than an A4 sheet of paper.

A successor to the NT2800 range, the NT2850 offers a choice of XGA (1024 x 768 pixel) or SXGA+ (1400 x 1050 pixel) resolution display on a 15" LCD monitor. Running off a SiS M661MX chipset with Celeron M 370J (1.5GHz) processor, this is an affordable performer. For those looking for more power, you can also choose Pentium M up to 2.13GHz.

You have room for a max of 2GB RAM, which is quite good. Thanks to Trusted Computing Group, the laptop conforms to high levels of security. A 19mm full-size keyboard with USB 2.0 connectors on both sides is provided. Thanks to an efficient air flow system, the system does not generate too much of noise.

Available for a discounted price online at Epson Direct, the Endeavor NT2850 will be available starting Feb 13, 2006 in Japan and maybe we'll get a taste of it soon here. Prices start at approximately US $799. For details, head to Epson's website.
