I also wish these kind of laptops existed when I was 5 - 6 years old. I always got in trouble for writing and saving BASIC games/animation/math programs/etc files on our elementary school's library computers (I think the head librarian was just burned because whenever a PC/printer/etc went on the fritz, I was called out of class to fix it, as I'm sure many fellow readers did too... we should have charged them x.x).]]>Apr 13th 2008 7:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/13/fukatos-eee-ish-datacask-enters-your-life-in-may/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/13/fukatos-eee-ish-datacask-enters-your-life-in-may/Apr 14th 2008 3:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/13/fukatos-eee-ish-datacask-enters-your-life-in-may/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/13/fukatos-eee-ish-datacask-enters-your-life-in-may/Apr 13th 2008 5:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/13/fukatos-eee-ish-datacask-enters-your-life-in-may/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/13/fukatos-eee-ish-datacask-enters-your-life-in-may/Apr 13th 2008 6:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/13/fukatos-eee-ish-datacask-enters-your-life-in-may/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/13/fukatos-eee-ish-datacask-enters-your-life-in-may/Apr 13th 2008 6:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/13/fukatos-eee-ish-datacask-enters-your-life-in-may/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/13/fukatos-eee-ish-datacask-enters-your-life-in-may/Apr 13th 2008 7:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/13/fukatos-eee-ish-datacask-enters-your-life-in-may/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/13/fukatos-eee-ish-datacask-enters-your-life-in-may/

I bought an:

Acer Extensa
1.86ghz dualcore AMD
2GB DDR2 RAM
ATI vid card - 128mb
160GB hdd
Vista (whatever, the daughter likes it. It's hers anyway)

for $500.
let me say that again....
FIVE HUNDRED DOLLAR$

I bet this dachschund of a laptop doesn't go for less than that.

Don't get me wrong, I'm sure it has it's applications. If it didn't, people wouldn't be buying these types of laptops, and they wouldn't continue to be manufactured, but in a technology age where everything is biggerbetterfaster, I just can't seem to wrap my mind around slowersmallerjustasexpensive. Portability is not a reason to buy into a market that is giving you LESS and making you pay just as much or more. Period. It's theivery. It's a 10'' barbed dildo. And any consumer that succumbs to this theivery is the dry asshole. Sorry, but I just don't see the point. And I won't be woo'd into euphoric technolust about lackluster 'innovation'.

It reeks of 'innovation for the sake of difference'. Like Amazon's Kindle. That was quite an amusing offering I might add.

Pointlessness, next to Techno-Demigodliness.]]>Apr 13th 2008 8:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/13/fukatos-eee-ish-datacask-enters-your-life-in-may/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/13/fukatos-eee-ish-datacask-enters-your-life-in-may/Apr 13th 2008 9:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/13/fukatos-eee-ish-datacask-enters-your-life-in-may/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/13/fukatos-eee-ish-datacask-enters-your-life-in-may/ "Portability is not a reason to buy into a market that is giving you LESS and making you pay just as much or more.

Can I assume then that in place of wristwatch you have a clock radio strapped to your arm ? It tells time just as well, plays music in addition, and they give them away for free at banks for opeing up a savings account or for opening up charge accounts in department stores. Given that, who would be stupid enough to pay $25 - $100 for a wristwatch ???

Heehee, just a little good natured ribbing. Seriously though, I have a 15" Aspire which I used as a desktop replacement while I was studying abroad. I'm back in the US now (for a while anyway dangit...) but when I travel I don't want to lug around a 15" laptop everywhere I go when I travel. So I picked up a used Fujitsu Lifebook P1120 last year for $425. It plays divx rips, surfs the web, plays music, sends e-mail, and Skypes no better than the Aspire but guess what ? It also has a 6 hour battery, sits comfortably on an airline tray, and fits in the messenger bag I carry when I go traveling/exploring, and weighs about 1/4 what the Aspire weighs. Given that I bought the Fujitsu over a year after the Aspire, I probably could have simply gotten another Aspire of the same mode/spec level on clearance or refurb for about the same price, but it wouldn't do any of those extra things.

But whateva...to each their own...]]>Apr 13th 2008 11:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/13/fukatos-eee-ish-datacask-enters-your-life-in-may/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/13/fukatos-eee-ish-datacask-enters-your-life-in-may/Apr 13th 2008 9:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/13/fukatos-eee-ish-datacask-enters-your-life-in-may/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/13/fukatos-eee-ish-datacask-enters-your-life-in-may/yep, all 8.9inches of it ;)]]>Apr 14th 2008 12:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/13/fukatos-eee-ish-datacask-enters-your-life-in-may/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/13/fukatos-eee-ish-datacask-enters-your-life-in-may/Apr 14th 2008 3:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/13/fukatos-eee-ish-datacask-enters-your-life-in-may/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/13/fukatos-eee-ish-datacask-enters-your-life-in-may/Apr 15th 2008 12:08AM
