Just because it runs Windows, doesn't mean it's a bad computer.

Just because it has an Apple logo, doesn't mean it's good.]]>Jun 1st 2008 6:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/01/gigabytes-m912-gets-some-specs-possible-photo/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/01/gigabytes-m912-gets-some-specs-possible-photo/Jun 1st 2008 6:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/01/gigabytes-m912-gets-some-specs-possible-photo/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/01/gigabytes-m912-gets-some-specs-possible-photo/
I, personally, have never seen one, but I highly doubt that.

Ah, the good old "poor" argument. People can't buy it because they want a cheap tablet, a small form factor device, or a secondary machine. They must be poor.

Why, exactly, do you think it looks hideous? Please explain how you might improve upon the design.]]>Jun 1st 2008 7:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/01/gigabytes-m912-gets-some-specs-possible-photo/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/01/gigabytes-m912-gets-some-specs-possible-photo/
For god sakes, a 1.6Ghz Atom performs like a 3-year old 1.0Ghz pentium M celeron. And even a 1.0Ghz Core 2 ULV wipes the floor with it.

If you don't like "Apple hate", then maybe you shouldn't give those people ammunition by launching comments that are pretty much the same thing, just directed in the other direction.]]>Jun 1st 2008 6:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/01/gigabytes-m912-gets-some-specs-possible-photo/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/01/gigabytes-m912-gets-some-specs-possible-photo/Jun 1st 2008 6:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/01/gigabytes-m912-gets-some-specs-possible-photo/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/01/gigabytes-m912-gets-some-specs-possible-photo/Jun 1st 2008 7:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/01/gigabytes-m912-gets-some-specs-possible-photo/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/01/gigabytes-m912-gets-some-specs-possible-photo/Jun 1st 2008 5:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/01/gigabytes-m912-gets-some-specs-possible-photo/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/01/gigabytes-m912-gets-some-specs-possible-photo/Jun 1st 2008 7:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/01/gigabytes-m912-gets-some-specs-possible-photo/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/01/gigabytes-m912-gets-some-specs-possible-photo/Jun 1st 2008 7:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/01/gigabytes-m912-gets-some-specs-possible-photo/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/01/gigabytes-m912-gets-some-specs-possible-photo/Jun 1st 2008 5:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/01/gigabytes-m912-gets-some-specs-possible-photo/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/01/gigabytes-m912-gets-some-specs-possible-photo/Jun 1st 2008 6:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/01/gigabytes-m912-gets-some-specs-possible-photo/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/01/gigabytes-m912-gets-some-specs-possible-photo/

A computer can't have a 10 hour battery life just because you want it, actually I find the 4 hour battery (if it lasts that long) decent

BTW, your PSP is much less powerful than this...]]>Jun 1st 2008 7:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/01/gigabytes-m912-gets-some-specs-possible-photo/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/01/gigabytes-m912-gets-some-specs-possible-photo/Jun 1st 2008 7:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/01/gigabytes-m912-gets-some-specs-possible-photo/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/01/gigabytes-m912-gets-some-specs-possible-photo/

Linux is pretty much impotent, as far as functionality goes. I want a thin, Windows UMPC with a touch-tablet display. This is perfect in every sense.

However, I heard it runs Linux...]]>Jun 1st 2008 7:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/01/gigabytes-m912-gets-some-specs-possible-photo/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/01/gigabytes-m912-gets-some-specs-possible-photo/Jun 1st 2008 7:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/01/gigabytes-m912-gets-some-specs-possible-photo/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/01/gigabytes-m912-gets-some-specs-possible-photo/How many PC games run on Linux? C&C:ZH? PES? yeah I like playing games every now and then, esp if I'm paying good money for a machine.]]>Jun 1st 2008 8:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/01/gigabytes-m912-gets-some-specs-possible-photo/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/01/gigabytes-m912-gets-some-specs-possible-photo/
Why Photoshop CS2? Use The GIMP

Why Windows games? Linux has it's own games that are just as fun to play.. Ever tried GL Tron?]]>Jun 1st 2008 8:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/01/gigabytes-m912-gets-some-specs-possible-photo/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/01/gigabytes-m912-gets-some-specs-possible-photo/
I'm really hoping that enough of these small laptops running Linux cause a shift in the way that software developers decide which platform they're going to release titles for (or what they are going to port to). Then, maybe you'd see more professional game titles and people would start running Linux specifically for gaming.]]>Jun 1st 2008 8:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/01/gigabytes-m912-gets-some-specs-possible-photo/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/01/gigabytes-m912-gets-some-specs-possible-photo/
The idea of these portables is to -more or less- have an all-in-one machine. I wouldn't want to be walking around with a fast, efficient laptop with lots of potential, when I could be walking around with yes, a less speedy, less stable tablet that could run every program/game I have perfectly.

I won't get Linux and "hope" developers start programming their big titles for it. That would be ridiculous.]]>Jun 1st 2008 9:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/01/gigabytes-m912-gets-some-specs-possible-photo/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/01/gigabytes-m912-gets-some-specs-possible-photo/
As far as everything else is concerned, Linux works perfectly well. I installed Ubuntu (along-side XP) on my laptop a couple of months ago. I expected to be using XP most of the time, and occasionally dabble in Ubuntu, but I've actually been using Ubuntu exclusively. It's spectacular!]]>Jun 2nd 2008 7:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/01/gigabytes-m912-gets-some-specs-possible-photo/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/01/gigabytes-m912-gets-some-specs-possible-photo/
As far as PC gaming on UMPCs, the much less powerful Eee PC from last year runs games like C&C:Generals ZH and Pro Evo Soccer 6 flawlessly. The OQO m2 runs high demanding FPS shooters like COD2 beautifully.

So in this day and age, it would be a huge loss when you buy a mini-laptop + touchscreen that can't run Strategy games (which were meant to be played with a touchscreen), or any other big title PC game just because the ultra-fast, super-stable OS running on it can't play them.

If all I need is web-browsing, I have my phone with a 24/7 connection with a desktop-like browser capable of doing that.]]>Jun 2nd 2008 9:02AM
