Their models now have one built in handle by which you can carry it. You do not need 2 handles. This is no 50 lb gaming rig. One hand is more than enough to carry this thing around. And that is not a handle on the side, the is the door mechanism.
I'm a big fan of PC's with handles, as we are moving machines around all the time. The only ones I hate are on the G5/Mac Pro. Those handles hurt like hell.
Ah, thanks Tim I was wondering that. I'm pretty sure there's no way you could carry that computer with that handle though. First of all that would mean you were carrying it at a 45 degree angle and putting tons of stress on the joint where the handle is attached. Also that handle doesn't exactly have an ergonomic-friendly look to it.
I'm pretty sure that handle is about 90% cosmetics PDub.
I think it is most certainly a handle. These boxes weigh very little and do not put much stress on the joint. Surely they would have to build it with sufficient strength because people WILL carry the box by that handle.
I am not speculating so much is I am telling you how it is now from experience, not pictures, and looks to be moving forward with this design.
Either way, as long as they keep the quality up, it doesn't matter what it looks like, it's a business box.
“An engineer explained to us that hundreds of ear impressions were gathered in the name of research, and while each one obviously boasted its own unique shape and size, one single characteristic remained uniform across the board: the entrance into the ear canal is not a perfect circle, it's an oval.”

Traditional, good IBM look, much better than their new consumer PC design . . but that handle just isn't right at all, it just ruins it for me.
Besides, what purpose does it serve exactly? there aren't two of them, so it can't really be used to transport the PC . . . they should remove it.
Agreed.
Yes there are, look at the side.
The handle is to hold it steady while you're grating cheese with it.
