I seriously hope they make an all-black version!
Why does everyone want to design so much on a laptop. Go black, go square, make it thin - like the old IBM's. "Designed" laptops are an eye-candy for a couple of months - after that they all look so '95....

You're totally missing the point of products like the Eee or Wind.

Nobody, I repeat, NOBODY is buying these for the specs. Nobody. Everyone is well aware, thanks in part to haters like you, that you can buy a Dell Vostro 1000 for the same price that would have a larger screen, an optical drive, and Vista.

People buy things like the Eee and Wind because they don't want to haul around a seven-pound, two-inch-thick notebook with piss-poor battery life (so don't forget the bulky power brick!) just to type or browse the web on.

Low-cost subnotebooks, or "netbooks," are in a completely different class from a machine like a Vostro, even if they're technically in the same price range. Nobody's claiming that these are replacements for a "full" computer, except perhaps in less affluent parts of the world. These aren't intended to be ones' sole computer. They're designed as companion machines, even moreso than more powerful compact notebooks like the MacBook Air (which is also in a different class).

Methinks you are misunderstanding an entire market segment. But wow. I'm used to people asking why netbook users don't just buy massive Vostros that offer "better specs for the same price," but that's the first time I've ever heard anyone claim the opposite - that netbook users buy their machines for cutting edge specs. To the Wind's target market, the most important specs are size, weight, and battery life - not having gobs of RAM that Vista will devour anyway.]]>May 20th 2008 6:28AM
