Sega is finally returning to the hardware market... well, sort of.
It's releasing a set of laptop PCs in Japan called the Sega Note, each designed to look like a retro Sega console.
The four covers - Mega Drive, Saturn, Dreamcast and standard blue Sega - can be removed and replaced, meaning you wouldn't need to buy four laptops.
However, while there are four different models, each with their own specs, only the most expensive "Premium" model (costing £1359) comes with all four covers.
For that you're getting a 2.40GHz Intel Core i7-3630QM Processor, 8GB of DDR3 SDRAM and an NVIDIA GeForce GT650M 1GB graphics card, a 120GB SSD and a Blu-ray writer.
Given the price of the Premium and the fact that you'd need to import it from Japan, it seems that for now all most of us can do is stare at them lovingly. If you're made of money though, you can pre-order them from: http://ebten.jp/p/4974365702854

I saw these on another site and forgot to post about them, the Saturn one looks uber cool.

Very cool looking but holy crap that's expensive!

I'm not too sure. 
I think they look a bit cheap looking to be honest. They could have done a better job on the covers.

Without being funny, here, but couldn't you just get a printed adhesive decal of the same thing and skin your present laptops?, there is lots of sites doing this, iPad skins, and 15,17,18" decal top skins, and allot of them upload your own image,? , seems Sega thinks there is complete saps with money out there willing to pay for this dressed up overpriced decal with a laptop Dell what cons you on?

I was thinking along the same lines. Couldn't anyone develop a removable cover for any laptop out there with something similar? Or some kind of decals, as Grey suggests. Neat concept, though.

Loving the understated minimalist look of the Dreamcast-inspired one. Cool in a way that doesn't scream 'geek' too loudly!

They are all a bit shite but I like the idea. The Saturn one is the one I like the best, the finish looks nice but the buttons look wrong.
Although the more geek looking the better for me!
