Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
Hopefully the price will be sub 300$
That's a beautiful looking computer but I doubt it's going to be sub $300. It jind of puts Palm's folio to shame.
yes lets hope.
Ok, it says coming out in uk end of year, but I'm a student wanting a laptop for uni, but also, ever since i saw the concept by VIA i wanted one, do I wait, or buy a dell or something now? argghh. choices
in my opinion, not ideal for study use...personally id rather have a larger screen so that I can use it for longer without squinting to read text. When i say larger, only perhaps 12/14 inches, so it's still portable.
I still think the Eee looks most promising...
If they actually ship it... they were supposed to begin selling it in late august.
Bring back updated Psion Series 5 with all the bells and whistles, I love em. Portable with a tiny, tiny 'p'. How can these designers do a screen and keyboard so badly, 'it's a screen and keyboard' that’s all we want, all screen one side and all keyboard the other, simple.
this looks like the EEE laptop with 4gb of flash, and 256mb of ram i wonder if they are the same just with a change in some parts cos looks the same architecture and also the small screen with the piece of plastic to the side etc
3h battery?
that's nothing
and that for an Ultra Portable
it had to be at least the double!
An ultraportable should get at least 5 hours of battery life.
"3 hours of battery with WiFi on" which part of "with WiFi ON" you don't get ,guys?
Packard Bell is still in business!?!
It will be 600 Euro in Europe.
Expect the everex version (slightly different looking but based on the same reference design) to hit at between 600 and 700 dollars.

Yeah, really. Haven't heard anything from PB in awhile.

Oh you just buy me this one and i'll give you my 12" hp tochscreen laptop in return. It's just 3 months old and would kill AND give my laptop for this one! :P
Pretty soon laptops will be the size of that nasty beeper we all threw at the wall back in the day, nanotops,lol.....
Wow PB must have been working on a big budget. I bet it cost a bundle to bring designers all the way from 1987.
i hate that laptops can't last more than like 3-5 hours without being plugged in.
I would like to know the battery lives of these new 7inchers. As a college student, I think it may work out well to have one of these babies to carry around to take notes in. I have relatively small hands so I don't think I will have much of a problem with hand cramps. Paired with a desktop, it's not a bad setup or a bad deal.
oh, I totally skipped that part about a 3 hour battery life. So much for the above idea...
Packard Bell still exists!?!?!?
