Its a shame Dell sucks so much now.]]>Feb 24th 2008 6:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/24/asus-eee-pc-gets-torture-tested-on-video/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/24/asus-eee-pc-gets-torture-tested-on-video/> I'm pretty sure my 4 year old Dell laptop can go through the
> same torture tests just fine

I dunno about that. Physics dictate that momentum (impact) is proportional to mass. At 6-8 lbs, a normal laptop would hit the floor with much more force than a 2lb Asus. I don't think a normal laptop's screen would survive if it fell while opened (which was the most impressive demo for me). Either the hinge would come off (risking tearing the wires) or the screen would crack (a common feature of As-Is LCD items on eBay).

But the heat test was just silly because 104F [externally!] is probably lower than what your Dell normally reaches internally.]]>Feb 24th 2008 9:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/24/asus-eee-pc-gets-torture-tested-on-video/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/24/asus-eee-pc-gets-torture-tested-on-video/Feb 26th 2008 2:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/24/asus-eee-pc-gets-torture-tested-on-video/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/24/asus-eee-pc-gets-torture-tested-on-video/
Even the dude on camera seems pretty lethargic.

i'm just saying this video played more like a "i like to see if my laptop is kinder gardener proof" rather than a "torture test".]]>Feb 24th 2008 10:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/24/asus-eee-pc-gets-torture-tested-on-video/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/24/asus-eee-pc-gets-torture-tested-on-video/Feb 24th 2008 7:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/24/asus-eee-pc-gets-torture-tested-on-video/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/24/asus-eee-pc-gets-torture-tested-on-video/Feb 24th 2008 7:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/24/asus-eee-pc-gets-torture-tested-on-video/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/24/asus-eee-pc-gets-torture-tested-on-video/> I want to see someone do this with a macbook air!
