HP Mini-Note gets unboxed, causes extreme jealousy

make it sub 1 lb and im sold!!!
i love the oqo laptops form factor but not loving their price tags.

Its also made of magnesium alloy I hear, which is a very nice thing to be jealous of. Pretend it has an atom CPU instead of a VIA and all is good. I like the large keyboard :-)

Why not both?

those were mega-hands

...spend some money on hand lotion.

Thank you for that very disturbing image.

And plural???

"sausages"? you sir are either one real lucky man or one real sad one!

I believe he was meaning 'fingers'.

Goes to show you who the perverts are. ^_^

oh come on, he was misleading

When was the last time you used the term "sausages" for your fingers?

Oh real sensitive you guys! Don't you know that Chris Anderson is poor Edward Sausagefingers writing alias?

Would that make him Hands Chris Anderson?

@AutoTom

but this laptop looks pretty smexy

Yea, but people's delivery dates are for Friday. Unless you have some HP-to-you teleporter that I don't know about.

and they reported yesterday that HP missed the ship date for pre-orders (which was supposed to be yesterday) due to some sort of delay that wasn't specified

black eee 900 man

Wait till the summer and the eee'll be getting itself an Atom processor and finally a decent battery life.

Wonder if eeectl will still work!

What the hell is eeectl?

yeah, he hacked it to be lop sided, best mini-note hack to date.

So that when your hands are in their natural typing position, they trackpad is under your thumbs, rather than your palm, meaning you don't have to move you hands to use it. A lot of laptops have trackpads like this, function over form and all that

@ Phil - you ARE joking right?! I see so many laptops now [if not all!] with off centered trackpads. It irritates the crap out of me that their designers are so lazy that they cant figure out how to center the thing. There's NO reason to have this off centered - especially for this little guy. If I were to put my left hand on this in a "natural typing position" it would lay smack on the left clicker. My assumption is that all these trackpads are located off center to make room for optical and hard drives. Please don't tell me Phil is right and they do this for "FUNCTION".

@anthony

dude, are YOU joking? home typing position: index fingers on F and J, thumbs on the space bar. The track pad is center aligned with those keys.
don't be such a moran!

now the mouse buttons-- i think they sacrificed usability for form factor there, but that's another story...

tru dat.

i believe "teh suck" is my meme, thank you very much!

Are you blind, what more aesthetic work could they do on this, compare this to the eee

White is the new black.
