NEC's 999g laptop promises 30-hour battery, but only in Japan

NEC launched the LAVIE BM94C, a 999g laptop with AI-based battery management and about 30.5 hours of video playback. The device is available only in Japan, limiting its global appeal. It combines lightweight design with long battery life for mobile professionals.
