Eh, Medion's notebooks are usually just rebadged MSI kit
I think you meant, "its a dead ringer for the Acer Aspire One"?
...sorry it is the MSI wind.
Does the five-head come with it?
I hear Windows is the most popular platform in Vietnam.
(Unfortunately for Microsoft, it's all pirated.)
Piracy helps MS, not hurt.
Hey if Vietnam likes it, then it has to be good!
It's the MSI Wind guys...
Mini-Note?
Wow, you Engadget guys are usually great at picking the clones.
And considering the fact that Medion pcs are made by MSI, I'm quite suprised that you didn't see this for what it was - a rebadged Wind NB.
Hmm, I have what you may call the 'Parent' of this laptop, the 15 inch version which is a great notebook, so I presume with everything shrunk down it's just as good
this looks exactly like the HP Mini Notebook (2133) -- at least from the inside.
You mean the resolution is 1024x600 right?
yeah i dunno 1024x800 is strange
Because 1024x768 is 4:3, I would imagine this could not possibly 1024x800 - so it's either 1024x600 or 1280x800 - I imagine the former although the mininote is closer to the latter.
The box says: "It's better with Windows" so...
I'm pretty sure I'm not buying one.
We've already had enough M$ TAX for the past 10 years.
WTF
is up with that head.
What's up with your avatar's head?
Looks like they made use of all the Palm Foleo cases that were heading to the landfill.
WHAT
is up with that freakishly large head.
it's a poster in the background...
Sigh... this is what the MacBook Air should've been. Currently its way too big to be an "ultra portable" as the name suggests. Oh yeah and the price isn't helping it much either...
Wrap this in Apple's goodness, make it all pretty and I'll be the first to buy it.
Are you kidding?
srsly ENG. Comment edit/delete. plz.
Yeah, but I bet you can't use it to slice layer cake like they did with the AirBook.
1) That pic of the MBA slicing bread was fake
2) I can cut a layer-cake WITH MY FOOT, so doing it with a laptop would not be very impressive.
When I first saw the title and pic for this article, I hadn't scrolled down all the way, so I could only see about 1/4 of the picture. What I could see of the picture looked like a fingertip with an incredibly minuscule screen in front of it!
PS: freakishly large head appears to be a picture printed on the wall behind it, not someone who has escaped from ripley's believe it or not.
But how can a wide screen display be 1024x800?
We all know 1024x768 makes a 4:3 screen.
