This is the only PC to date which features a Blu-ray burner however some of the new notebooks feature inbuilt Blu-ray disc players inbuilt. NEC said it is the costly Blu-ray burner contributing to the Powermate's $3500 price tag.

Another member of the Powermate family is the P5000, an all-in-one PC that comes with Vista Home Premium, a slot loading DVD drive and is designed for the aesthete with a restriction on space. At $1999 it sits at a more affordable price point than its HP and Sony all-in-one competitors.

Road warriors are catered for with the new business range of NEC Versa notebooks, including the S3300 – designed to be portable enough to travel, but with enough functionality for small to medium business or home office use.
