But then I don't punt my portable devices around, so the shock-proof characteristics of the SSD don't seem so great to me. :)
I'd rather have the extra storage, given that notebook drives are reasonably rugged these days. And, when 100 Gb SSDs are around, I bet they're in 1.8" standard form-factor, so you could upgrade this too.
The whole "$200" = $400+ thing is real, but _if_ this comes out at $400, I'd far rather have it than any of the Eees on the market right now.]]>Dec 11th 2007 8:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/10/everexs-nanobook-becomes-the-cloudbook-gets-gos/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/10/everexs-nanobook-becomes-the-cloudbook-gets-gos/M]]>Dec 10th 2007 4:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/10/everexs-nanobook-becomes-the-cloudbook-gets-gos/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/10/everexs-nanobook-becomes-the-cloudbook-gets-gos/Dec 10th 2007 4:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/10/everexs-nanobook-becomes-the-cloudbook-gets-gos/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/10/everexs-nanobook-becomes-the-cloudbook-gets-gos/

But EEE's are apparently a winner. It's a POS small laptop for a cheap price. It's cheap and it looks cheap, and the specs are crap (I know you don't need all that much to run Linux), but things like screen resolution and size (that ugly 2" bezel around the screen) has got to be irritating users to no end.

But apparently it's not, so all is good. Thank god I'm not in marketing, because I'd label it as a POS, forgetting that most of population is actually in desperate need for POS electronics.]]>Dec 10th 2007 8:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/10/everexs-nanobook-becomes-the-cloudbook-gets-gos/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/10/everexs-nanobook-becomes-the-cloudbook-gets-gos/http://img252.imageshack.us/my.php?image=xpyq0.jpg

Slightly lighter? (850g vs 920g)
I have a preference for VIA over Intel, but it's irrational...

Bad (compared to EEE):
Hard disk, not flash.
Touchpad. (Not that I've used either.)
Styling. (That gap under the screen.)

Not known:
Battery life.

Battery life is said to be 3 hours depending on use.
Recharge is 2 hours turned off, 4 hours in use.
(I think. The recharge part I guessed/translated myself.)

If you manage to breech 1000Gs, you've just successfully managed to harm your SSD. Congratulations. At these speeds your laptop will be gone before your data- Which is exactly what we want.
Not having to worry about my data vanishing from a heavy bump is a good reason to pay a bit more and deal with only being able to store 30 hours of music.

Cheers!

No "heavy bump" will damage a harddrive, this is not 1970.
Sure, they are more vulnerable to damage, but LCDs are more vulnerable than CRTs and I don't see anyone clamoring for more CRT based devices. SSDs are extremely expensive and don't offer nearly enough diskspace for anyone with an extensive collection of music/movies/porn. Someday we'll have free, fast, wireless connections everywhere and mobile devices won't need to store media and you can have all your media in the cloud or on spinning disks at home, but that day is still a long way to go.]]>Jan 11th 2008 12:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/10/everexs-nanobook-becomes-the-cloudbook-gets-gos/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/10/everexs-nanobook-becomes-the-cloudbook-gets-gos/

If that's USD, then it seems about right -- $300 with FreeDOS, and $400 with an operating system intended to compete with XP.

We need more terminal like systems for the general users - thanks to all of the early adopters like me and others that want the best hardware yesterday - prices and competition are creating more markets :]

I was always a bit annoyed with the touchpad being under the keyboard, right where my thumb would rest - the nipple/clitoris pointing devices made up for some of that, but created other issues.

A thumb-pad at the top makes sense for something with a 7" screen - and with a future look to a touchscreen version, why does it have to do what a regular laptop does? I would expect my $1000+ laptop to do a hell of a lot more compared to a mini-laptop, don't you?

Money is the biggest barrier towards adoption of new technology. The higher priced stuff will be bought by the people who can't compromise for many reasons. A laptop like this, and the one offered by www.zonbu.com, give many more people the chance to get online, and hopefully connect for the better.]]>Dec 11th 2007 2:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/10/everexs-nanobook-becomes-the-cloudbook-gets-gos/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/10/everexs-nanobook-becomes-the-cloudbook-gets-gos/
