A look back on popular stories from today in a specific year.

If it weren't for the eyes, those girls would be pretty hawt.
Funny you would mention eyes, your sight is obviously impaired.
Or are you just blinded by racism?
I think he means that they are black (or brown) eyes not their shape... Green or Blue eyes would look better on them
I have to agree about the eyes, but it's not the color. The one on the left looks surprised and the one on the right looks asleep. They're pretty, but not as pretty as the girls we usually see on Engadget.
Wow, you guys are quick to pull the racist card.
I was meaning what Eric said.
First post! Though, seriously, considering the poopy resolution, the decent graphics chip, and the pretty high price, I would expect a tad more. But then again, I think my external hard drive weighs more than it.
It took you 10 minutes to write that two line comment?
Ok girls, without looking, name the brand of notebook you are actually holding?
the one on the right looks like a perfect laptop...and I don't care if she is holding that thing or not while on my lap.
I thought she worked for Samsung, what happened?
The T7500 is 2.2GHz, not 2.4.
But these sound nice for being in such a small package.
That's what she said.
...to you, not me. Damnit.
that your name?
Okay, Hung.
@Hung
It's funny because I almost typed that exact thing with it. But the unspoken rule of "That's what she said" is that your not allowed to set yourself up for it. I'm glad you took the shot.
Yeah, it had nothing to do with my name. That's my actual name, forget you guys.
It was in response to this comment:
"But these sound nice for being in such a small package."
I guess I sort of misread it and it didn't turn out to be the best TWSS.
8600M Video cards in a 13.3" laptop?!
NICE.. if LG can do it why does dell's m1330 not have that option?!
...then again, why doesn't the MacBook have that?
I agree, a 8600M in a 13.3in lappie sounds good to me. I guess the days of having to buy a 17in notebook to get decent dedicated graphics are behind us.
"an easy on the shoulder 1.6-kg (3.5-pounds) weight is sounding *might* fine."
come on engadget, proof read your posts.
3.5 pounds for that machine is awesome... 8600GT M
The screen could have been 1440x900 thou...
The guy in a suit taking pictures of the models looks quite sharp in that *mighty fine* reflective (super glossy?) screen?
And yes, I second the opinion on why doesn't Dell or Apple put the Nividia 8600M (not GT) in their 13.3" models? -- however likely just *cost* factor?
the model on the left side looks pretty scary!!!
Hmm, I would like to see those LED backlit 13" screens on the Macbook in six months time....
Wishful thinking :)
I want one of this. I wonder if Dell could incorporate some of the technology use by LG to make their m1330 more lighter? even with led screen and SSD drives it wont go lighter than 1.9kg.
Where and how does one buy an LG notebook in the states? And also, is that metal or plastic for the body of the notebook?
Does anyone know what improvement in battery life or weight they get from the LED backlight? It would be great if there were an otherwise-identical model to compare with.
I think, especially in the case of the MacBook, it is a POWER cost factor, which is why the chip is not in there...
It doesn't say GT. If you hit the read link, you'll see it's a 8600M GS and most likely a 8600M GS with 64-bit bus. That'll roughly be at the performance of a 8400M GS (like the one in Asus V2s). And 13.3" WXGA+ screens aren't available yet.
look at all the shortcuts on the desktop. Imagine each shortcut belongs to 1 peice of bloatware. That'd suck!
Aren't they cute?
asian girls are hot!
Why on Earth do I so passionately hate LG as a company? Their stuff always feels and looks like it's only a fraction better made/designed than Chinese knock-off crap.
Samsung as well, for that matter.
