It certainly looks like someone forgot to remove their docking station, but that would instead be NEC’s latest demonstration of fuel cell technology used to power a laptop. While the estimated 10 hour battery life coming out of the 250cc cartridge doesn’t seem like a whole bucketload considering how much you’ve probably heard about how fuel cells are some “revolutionary technology,” I will say that 10 hours is better than most Lithium Ion laptop batteries get (but just barely). We’ll be sure to inform you when the revolution takes place.
Getting back to the laptop, it’s not much to write home about. With a pitiful 1.10GHz Pentium M, 256MB of memory, 40GB hard drive, 12 inch screen, and no optical drive, it’s no wonder the prototype machine won’t ever be anything more.
