You wish other people would think you were more sexy because of your UMPC

This site is full of people that find gadgets "sexy" or "ugly"...

You weren't too excited either (the only thing you're allowed to be excited about on Engadget is iPhone-related, even if it's a rumor about the 5th shiny casing rumor about a new iPhone with a rumored front camera... yeah that u should be excited about), I think the docking station is a real bargain and should be taken advantage of quickly (not currently in North America)...

Engadget is really starting to suck. So why am I posting here? Same reason microsoft's OS is all over the place even though it isn't the best.]]>Jun 22nd 2008 1:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/22/gigabyte-m704-unboxing-video-excites-reviewer-may-put-you-to-sl/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/22/gigabyte-m704-unboxing-video-excites-reviewer-may-put-you-to-sl/
Your review was fairly complete and desirable for those actually considering purchase.

What I've seen that I don't like: keyboard, no tablet pc OS, shield for dock which w/get lost, no media center edition.

It's telling that you couldn't figure out function of a couple of the buttons on front...this means bad graphics design...s/be intuitive.

For this form factor I like the Samsung Ultra better...split keybd is usable on the go.]]>Jun 22nd 2008 1:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/22/gigabyte-m704-unboxing-video-excites-reviewer-may-put-you-to-sl/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/22/gigabyte-m704-unboxing-video-excites-reviewer-may-put-you-to-sl/

How do you think a TrackPoint would do in place of the the small track pad? They'd have to get a license from Lenovo, I'm sure, but it seems like a better alternative input method than such a small pad where you have to lift your finger to make several strokes.]]>Jun 22nd 2008 3:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/22/gigabyte-m704-unboxing-video-excites-reviewer-may-put-you-to-sl/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/22/gigabyte-m704-unboxing-video-excites-reviewer-may-put-you-to-sl/easynote XS trackpads.]]>Jun 22nd 2008 4:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/22/gigabyte-m704-unboxing-video-excites-reviewer-may-put-you-to-sl/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/22/gigabyte-m704-unboxing-video-excites-reviewer-may-put-you-to-sl/Jun 22nd 2008 12:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/22/gigabyte-m704-unboxing-video-excites-reviewer-may-put-you-to-sl/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/22/gigabyte-m704-unboxing-video-excites-reviewer-may-put-you-to-sl/Jun 22nd 2008 1:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/22/gigabyte-m704-unboxing-video-excites-reviewer-may-put-you-to-sl/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/22/gigabyte-m704-unboxing-video-excites-reviewer-may-put-you-to-sl/Jun 22nd 2008 1:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/22/gigabyte-m704-unboxing-video-excites-reviewer-may-put-you-to-sl/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/22/gigabyte-m704-unboxing-video-excites-reviewer-may-put-you-to-sl/Jun 22nd 2008 1:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/22/gigabyte-m704-unboxing-video-excites-reviewer-may-put-you-to-sl/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/22/gigabyte-m704-unboxing-video-excites-reviewer-may-put-you-to-sl/Jun 22nd 2008 1:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/22/gigabyte-m704-unboxing-video-excites-reviewer-may-put-you-to-sl/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/22/gigabyte-m704-unboxing-video-excites-reviewer-may-put-you-to-sl/Jun 22nd 2008 1:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/22/gigabyte-m704-unboxing-video-excites-reviewer-may-put-you-to-sl/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/22/gigabyte-m704-unboxing-video-excites-reviewer-may-put-you-to-sl/Jun 22nd 2008 11:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/22/gigabyte-m704-unboxing-video-excites-reviewer-may-put-you-to-sl/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/22/gigabyte-m704-unboxing-video-excites-reviewer-may-put-you-to-sl/
People dissing this device without having used it are fools. From the U60, I can tell you the form factor is excellent, the keyboard is usable, the performance is respectable.

I bought it for my wife thinking she wouldn't use it, and I would get it, but sadly she hasn't let go of the thing since getting it. She does all her email, much of her surfing, Quicken accounting, and minor wordprocessing on it. While in meetings, while at home, while travelling.

This is an infinitely superior form factor to a clamshell with a similar screen size, because you use it as a tablet much of the time, and the thumb keyboard is very usable. ]]>Jun 22nd 2008 1:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/22/gigabyte-m704-unboxing-video-excites-reviewer-may-put-you-to-sl/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/22/gigabyte-m704-unboxing-video-excites-reviewer-may-put-you-to-sl/
I don't get excited about all of my purchases, but certainly the ones I drop several hundred dollars on. Free dock? I'm fucking shooting wads because docks are almost always separate accessories.
