The ClamShell design makes the unit thicker, but I've not had any damage to my screen as it's protected when the lid is closed.
If your a mobile Tech, I totally sugest the unit.]]>Mar 8th 2008 7:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/16/flipstart-retail-price-nosedives-were-a-little-worried/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/16/flipstart-retail-price-nosedives-were-a-little-worried/Jan 16th 2008 6:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/16/flipstart-retail-price-nosedives-were-a-little-worried/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/16/flipstart-retail-price-nosedives-were-a-little-worried/

I agree, I kind of like the size. If I had the money right now, I'd pick one of these up. I mean, its not like it has a Celeron M in it like most UMPC's. ^_^ The Pentium M is basically just an optimized PIII.]]>Jan 16th 2008 9:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/16/flipstart-retail-price-nosedives-were-a-little-worried/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/16/flipstart-retail-price-nosedives-were-a-little-worried/Jan 16th 2008 9:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/16/flipstart-retail-price-nosedives-were-a-little-worried/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/16/flipstart-retail-price-nosedives-were-a-little-worried/Jan 16th 2008 6:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/16/flipstart-retail-price-nosedives-were-a-little-worried/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/16/flipstart-retail-price-nosedives-were-a-little-worried/Jan 16th 2008 6:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/16/flipstart-retail-price-nosedives-were-a-little-worried/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/16/flipstart-retail-price-nosedives-were-a-little-worried/Jan 16th 2008 7:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/16/flipstart-retail-price-nosedives-were-a-little-worried/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/16/flipstart-retail-price-nosedives-were-a-little-worried/-Taylor]]>Jan 16th 2008 7:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/16/flipstart-retail-price-nosedives-were-a-little-worried/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/16/flipstart-retail-price-nosedives-were-a-little-worried/
Yes your probably right, however, I've been to their site, and its a pretty small size. I am not arguing that it looks nice (which it doesn't), I just thought price wise, and spec wise, it looks like a pretty good alternative to the eepc. ]]>Jan 16th 2008 8:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/16/flipstart-retail-price-nosedives-were-a-little-worried/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/16/flipstart-retail-price-nosedives-were-a-little-worried/
The pictures make them seem much bigger than they really are in person. These are very comfortable to hold, although it takes some getting used to in order to feel comfortable with the trackpad.]]>Jan 16th 2008 9:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/16/flipstart-retail-price-nosedives-were-a-little-worried/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/16/flipstart-retail-price-nosedives-were-a-little-worried/

I mean.. there's just about NO compelling reason to buy it at $1500. It'd be hard enough to come up with a compelling reason to buy it at $700.
