PC-FW50X >> MacBook Air]]>Apr 8th 2008 8:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/08/sharp-intros-amd-powered-mebius-fw-laptops/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/08/sharp-intros-amd-powered-mebius-fw-laptops/
Perhaps a visual demonstration will help your understanding:

To drive my point home a little more (haha! Another baseball analogy and I don't even like baseball...), if you read the article, it's an AMD-based laptop that has a 15.4" screen, weighs 5.7lbs (!!), is 1.6" thick, and if the translation is correct, offers a measly ~1 hour of battery life...

Oh yeah, so much better than the MacBook Air that it bares absolutely no resemblance to *roll eyes*]]>Apr 8th 2008 9:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/08/sharp-intros-amd-powered-mebius-fw-laptops/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/08/sharp-intros-amd-powered-mebius-fw-laptops/Apr 8th 2008 9:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/08/sharp-intros-amd-powered-mebius-fw-laptops/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/08/sharp-intros-amd-powered-mebius-fw-laptops/
(and it also has to run Linux, since that is what I am using now.)]]>Apr 8th 2008 9:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/08/sharp-intros-amd-powered-mebius-fw-laptops/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/08/sharp-intros-amd-powered-mebius-fw-laptops/Apr 8th 2008 10:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/08/sharp-intros-amd-powered-mebius-fw-laptops/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/08/sharp-intros-amd-powered-mebius-fw-laptops/
In case you haven't noticed, the vast majority of people whom currently use projectors will do so in a government/institutional/educational/corporate setting in which the most likely and easy-to-use method of connecting to the existing projectors will be through VGA. I have a brand new laptop with HDMI output and I regularly use my VGA for presentations in many of my classes.

You do really think that the moment a new technology comes out everybody in the world immediately throws out all older-generation technology despite the fact that it serves all the purposes the large majority of people require in their respective settings?

Even down to being a black and a white model.


How sad they can't design something themselves.

Since when does Apple have sole rights to releasing black and white versions of a laptop?]]>Apr 8th 2008 5:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/08/sharp-intros-amd-powered-mebius-fw-laptops/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/08/sharp-intros-amd-powered-mebius-fw-laptops/
The finish, the keyboard, the track pad.

Everything is a dirct copy of the MacBook.

The track pad's off center. The keyboard has numpads. And the glossy lacquer-like finish makes the MacBook (though not the MBP) look cheap.

Face it. Mac's not the only company that can make sexy looking devices. Just glad you have these as a great looking alternative to the Mac Book. I'm tired of looking everywhere and seeing white and black laptops that look the same. Now if we can just do something with those Sempron processors... $1400 for it is just TOO expensive.

I keep on saying Mac instead of Apple. I still remember back then when there were no iPods. The word 'Mac' was essentially Apple. Now anything 'i' becomes synonymous with Apple.

Another thing, if they released 13" and 14" versions of these laptops at slightly lower prices, they'd probably sell a lot elsewhere. Apparently the Japanese market is saturated with head-turning things (both beautiful and grotesque) that nothing feels special anymore. I think these laptops are only slated for a Japan release.
