Behold the magnificent LaVie Y or LY750/JW for NEC, the company first Windows 8 RT Hybrid laptop! Announced for a launch date of November 22nd at around 90,000 Yen, the LaVie Y is one of the first Japanese Hybrid Laptop that will not be powered by an Intel CPU but by an NVIDIA Tegra 3 CPU at 1.3Ghz! Like the Pansonic AX2, you can turn your LaVie Y into a tablet and enjoy its nice 11.6″ (1,366×768) touchscreen and enjoy a fully capable Hybrid computer the way you like!

Don’t think that Lenovo is keeping the IdeaPad Yoga’s bendy secrets all to itself: its Japanese partner NEC is bringing a variant of the ARM-based Yoga 11 to the land of the rising sun as the LaVie Y. The 11.6-inch blend of laptop and tablet keeps the signature 360-degree display, 2GB of RAM and 64GB of storage as its more internationally-minded counterpart, and confirms that there’s a quad-core Tegra 3 powering either of the Windows RT systems. What differences exist will stem from the software: there’s hints of a custom NEC app on an otherwise vanilla interpretation of Microsoft’s platform. The LaVie Y should precede its IdeaPad sibling by days, arriving in stores around November 22nd, although any local buyers will pay dearly for the privilege with an estimated $1,136 price. We’d suggest that patience ought to be a virtue for everyone else.

Stylus maven N-trig has revealed that Fujitsu’s Stylistic Q702 laptop/tablet hybrid will be the first to shop with the company’s new G4 DuoSense pen and multi-touch digitizer. As such, it’ll be able to use a new active pen stylus that the company, perhaps unsurprisingly, promises will provide a “pen-on-paper handwriting experience.” Of course, we won’t be able to judge that for ourselves until the units arrive on our doorstep some time after Windows 8 does next month, but rest assured, we’ll be checking.
