Epson's Peanuts laptop surfaces just in time
Really, what would the week before the new year be without a half-hour of Charlie Brown in all of its grainy glory? Right on cue, Epson has unveiled a Peanuts-themed laptop that should fit the bill if you weren't really feelin' its Hello Kitty variants. The machine checks in with a 15-inch display, a 1.73GHz Intel Celeron M430 processor, 1GB of DDR2 RAM, an 80GB hard drive, four USB ports and a DVD combo drive. As if those partial specs weren't enough to satisfy, you can also count on a number of Snoopy themes being bundled in to clog up your system resources. 'Course, you'll be paying an absolutely insane amount for the privilege of owning one -- and just think, your $2,799.99 still can't get it here any quicker than January.

Wow. I think lighting the money on fire might be a more cost efficient use of $2799

I have an Espon printer. O.o

Man, I love peanuts, brings back memories when I was learning to read.

Are there really people out there, that would drop so much money on something like this?
RyanTV @ Dec 21st 2007 4:19PM
the unfortunate truth is... yes. there really are people that moronic.
STrRedWolf @ Dec 21st 2007 4:20PM
Hmmm... $2500...
$500 of that is the actual laptop and OS. Gee, Charles is surely turning in his grave.

Reminds me of the Family Guy view on grown up Peanuts, on which Charlie Brown is a crack head... which matches this article, selling overpriced laptops for drugs. lol.

or you could download some Snoopy themes, and buy a Peanuts sticker for $3.00

the laptop's value is peanuts. pun intended.

"I got a Celeron."
"I got a rock."

This is for the Japanese market, Epson is more common there and they are crazy about Peanuts, probably the price tag is "lost in translation."

Good Grief...

dang, horrendous

Jeezus...they must be on crack.
Like Lucy pulling a football away from Chuck, they just pulled this laptop back OUT of plans for a surprise for my 5 year old. I read what it was, I read what it had, I figured 5, maybe 600 bucks...but for that price, the thing had better include a pinch of Charles Schultz's ashes.

in the lower left corner of the Peanut's gang picture there is a fat looking snoopy to the left of Snoopy. Anyone know who that character is?
Josh @ Dec 21st 2007 7:54PM
That's Snoopy's cousin or brother or something. And he isn't too the left of snoopy, he's to the left of another cousin/brother.
Tim @ Dec 21st 2007 11:07PM
His name is Olaf, and Snoopy's brother Andy is to his right.
supermeerkat @ Dec 22nd 2007 3:33AM
Cheers fellas.

Randomness @ Dec 22nd 2007 2:50AM
Eee PC White + Snoopy theme + decals/airbrush/vinyl applique? What would be best to put the pictures on?
Pamela @ Dec 22nd 2007 12:11PM
Pack of Peanuts stickers: $3
Old Hand-me-down free Laptop: FREE
Sticking my own stickers on a laptop instead of paying someone else
$2,800 to do it for me: PRICELESS...and Frugal!
