Sega is Releasing Classic Console-Themed Laptops in Japan
Andrew Sztein — February 17, 2013 — Tech
If you grew up as a gamer in the 90s and still have that familiar "SEGA!" scream from their commercials still echoing through your brain, then these vintage console-inspired laptop designs are right up your alley.
Sega was once one of the ubiquitous console developers in the world, competing with the legendary Nintendo at the height of their popularity. These laptop designs celebrate the actual console designs of Sega's Genesis, Saturn and Dreamcast consoles, as well as a more generic blue Sega model. The laptops are available in four different power configurations ranging in price from $1,069 to $2,081(USD).
The bad news? These vintage console laptops are only available, but should be attainable through importation if you're a Sega fan living outside of the land of the rising sun.
