Still, this is a joke. for that price you could buy a few eeepc's. hell, even mod one into a tablet if you have to.]]>Jun 17th 2008 8:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/17/pricey-flybook-v5-now-available-in-america/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/17/pricey-flybook-v5-now-available-in-america/
Not so much, no...]]>Jun 17th 2008 8:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/17/pricey-flybook-v5-now-available-in-america/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/17/pricey-flybook-v5-now-available-in-america/
I AM! I have my greatest enemy's credit card and nothing but devilish thoughts in my head. This $3,000 lappy will get him back for sending those pizzas to my house. ]]>Jun 17th 2008 8:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/17/pricey-flybook-v5-now-available-in-america/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/17/pricey-flybook-v5-now-available-in-america/
IF this hinge joint rotates to a tablet-mode touchscreen.
and IF this has a decent GeForce 8800 or an equivalent, to match the Core-2-Duo on it.

Then, this may be a one of a kind mini-laptop, which may deserve it the pricey price tag. Mainly because it is too high spec-ed for this small form factor AND tablet mode.

But only IF it had a decenf gfx card inside.]]>Jun 17th 2008 8:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/17/pricey-flybook-v5-now-available-in-america/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/17/pricey-flybook-v5-now-available-in-america/Jun 17th 2008 9:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/17/pricey-flybook-v5-now-available-in-america/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/17/pricey-flybook-v5-now-available-in-america/Jun 17th 2008 11:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/17/pricey-flybook-v5-now-available-in-america/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/17/pricey-flybook-v5-now-available-in-america/Jun 17th 2008 10:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/17/pricey-flybook-v5-now-available-in-america/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/17/pricey-flybook-v5-now-available-in-america/Jun 17th 2008 9:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/17/pricey-flybook-v5-now-available-in-america/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/17/pricey-flybook-v5-now-available-in-america/Jun 17th 2008 9:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/17/pricey-flybook-v5-now-available-in-america/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/17/pricey-flybook-v5-now-available-in-america/Jun 17th 2008 10:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/17/pricey-flybook-v5-now-available-in-america/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/17/pricey-flybook-v5-now-available-in-america/Jun 17th 2008 9:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/17/pricey-flybook-v5-now-available-in-america/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/17/pricey-flybook-v5-now-available-in-america/Jun 17th 2008 11:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/17/pricey-flybook-v5-now-available-in-america/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/17/pricey-flybook-v5-now-available-in-america/Jun 17th 2008 12:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/17/pricey-flybook-v5-now-available-in-america/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/17/pricey-flybook-v5-now-available-in-america/Jun 17th 2008 11:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/17/pricey-flybook-v5-now-available-in-america/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/17/pricey-flybook-v5-now-available-in-america/Jun 17th 2008 3:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/17/pricey-flybook-v5-now-available-in-america/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/17/pricey-flybook-v5-now-available-in-america/Jun 17th 2008 12:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/17/pricey-flybook-v5-now-available-in-america/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/17/pricey-flybook-v5-now-available-in-america/
I have been *very* satisfied with the unit. It is sturdy, highly portable, light weight, and gives me whenever, wherever connection to the internet (via LAN, WAN, or WWAN (cell)) which is important because I support a web-based app. I just stuff it in my backpack and hop on my bike...

Yes, it is a convertible with a (passive) touchscreen and a decent video chip. Mine isn't as good as the current configuration selling (both processor and RAM - mine was limited to 2GB), but my Windows Experience Index is 3.1. I have an unlimited data plan with AT&T - just stuck a SIM card into the slot under the battery.

There isn't a lot of info out about the units - I started a blog when I purchased mine, so if anyone wants to ask questions there, I'll do my best to answer them (or someone else will chime in). It's called the Flyblog and is found at: http://www.flyblog.wordpress.com (hopefully I'm not violating any Engadget rules with the url). I'm not affiliated with Dialogue in any way... just an Owner. If you do post, I would appreciate it, if you stick to constructive dialog.]]>Jun 17th 2008 5:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/17/pricey-flybook-v5-now-available-in-america/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/17/pricey-flybook-v5-now-available-in-america/
It's important to point out that this is an ultraportable, business-class, HSDPA tablet. Not everyone needs these requirements and by all means they should purchase cheaper laptops or web-surfers to fulfill their needs. However, if you are going to compare prices, you should compare it to other ultraportable, business-class, HSDPA tablets. Just because this unit doesn't meet *your* needs doesn't mean there isn't a need *for* it.]]>Jun 17th 2008 11:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/17/pricey-flybook-v5-now-available-in-america/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/17/pricey-flybook-v5-now-available-in-america/Jun 18th 2008 12:57PM
