What would really sell me is if the OS booted from a small (1 or 2gb) flash drive for speed but still had storage in the 40+ gb range from a standard 2.5" hard drive. A bluetooth connection for tethering to a mobile phone's connection would put one of these in my bag, but that's probably a feature for a completely different target customer.

The one thing they'll need to get past is alot of the web-aps being useless when away from an internet connection. A desktop can be much more dependent There will need to be more local programs and perhaps mirrored local/online storage. If they stick with the web-aps model they'll need a launcher that launches the web-aps in their own window instead of a browser window to increase the transparency. ]]>Nov 2nd 2007 11:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/02/everex-hatches-plans-for-sub-300-gos-wal-mart-laptop/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/02/everex-hatches-plans-for-sub-300-gos-wal-mart-laptop/
And if the laptops are cheap, who cares if it is ugly. Some people just want something that allows them to get work done, not admire its shell all day long or arguing in forums on why their PC looks nicer than others. These people won't drop 2-3 months wages for it.]]>Nov 2nd 2007 11:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/02/everex-hatches-plans-for-sub-300-gos-wal-mart-laptop/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/02/everex-hatches-plans-for-sub-300-gos-wal-mart-laptop/

Was on sale at CompUSA this week. I think Everex needs to start at sub-$200 if they want to be selling these underpowered units...]]>Nov 2nd 2007 6:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/02/everex-hatches-plans-for-sub-300-gos-wal-mart-laptop/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/02/everex-hatches-plans-for-sub-300-gos-wal-mart-laptop/how many keys of back slash will this one have]]>Nov 2nd 2007 11:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/02/everex-hatches-plans-for-sub-300-gos-wal-mart-laptop/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/02/everex-hatches-plans-for-sub-300-gos-wal-mart-laptop/http://www.electrocomputerwarehouse.com/

Every time I buy a gadget (my Eee) they have to go and find some company that does better for half the price and make me feel dumb.

This thing better be crap or im done with this site.]]>Dec 10th 2007 5:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/02/everex-hatches-plans-for-sub-300-gos-wal-mart-laptop/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/02/everex-hatches-plans-for-sub-300-gos-wal-mart-laptop/Jan 8th 2008 10:27AM
