Rather than depend exclusively on a media extender core, the new concept relies on remotely controlling a home Lui Server and streaming music and videos directly from its hard drive: remote control would be handled by a lightly-equipped computer or handheld that only needs enough power and storage to make the connection, NEC says. In NEC's first product line, two remote computers will be available.
An ultra-mobile PC will include a 4.1-inch touchscreen that slides up to reveal a full keyboard; it should include at least Wi-Fi and run Windows CE. A larger, 10.6-inch ultraportable notebook will also be an option and removes the hard drive that would normally be found in such a system. Standing out from most concepts, NEC plans to launch Lui in at least its home country of Japan in the first half of 2008, when pricing and the full specification for the system will be available.
