A week after the NA701 laptop released, Epson adds another notebook to its Japanese Enveavor range, the NA101.

It has a 12.1-inch XGA (1024×768) TFT LCD display and offers various connectivity options, such as 3-in-1 memory card reader (SD, MMC, Memory Stick), Ethernet LAN, and standard modem. WiFI and Bluetooth V2.0+EDR are available as an opt-in.

The laptop itself boasts its ultralight weight. The casing is made of magnesium alloy and it uses the smallest and the lightest motherboard on the market.
