NVousPC today switched its attention to ultraportables and released the Carbon, hoping to appeal to both pop art fans and serious travelers. The 12-inch system is as customizable as the PC builder's larger systems and allows for individualized paint schemes on most of the outer shell: the outer lid, inner bezel, keyboard area, and even the base can be individually treated with either a stock design or personal art. Despite the outer focus, the system comes with 802.11n wireless stock and can be outfitted with as much as a 2.4GHz Core 2 Duo and a 1GB Turbo Memory cache to shorten load times.
The base Carbon model starts at $1,685 with painting on the outer lid as well as a 1.8GHz Core 2 Duo, 1GB of memory, a 1.3-megapixel webcam, and a 60GB hard disk. Most systems are relatively light at 4.5 pounds and ship within several days of the order; painting extra surfaces varies in price between $20 and $122 depending on the size and complexity.
