So we're really throwing the word "tantalizing" out there for anything now, aren't we?]]>Aug 22nd 2008 4:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/22/intel-slips-new-core-2-duo-s-processors-out-the-door/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/22/intel-slips-new-core-2-duo-s-processors-out-the-door/Aug 22nd 2008 8:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/22/intel-slips-new-core-2-duo-s-processors-out-the-door/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/22/intel-slips-new-core-2-duo-s-processors-out-the-door/Aug 22nd 2008 4:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/22/intel-slips-new-core-2-duo-s-processors-out-the-door/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/22/intel-slips-new-core-2-duo-s-processors-out-the-door/Aug 22nd 2008 4:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/22/intel-slips-new-core-2-duo-s-processors-out-the-door/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/22/intel-slips-new-core-2-duo-s-processors-out-the-door/
I get what you are saying BUT.... you have missed the point. The reason behind the netbook : it is a response to the fact that we don't need to do anything intensive with a netbook. It raison d'étre is to surf the net and email. On the other hand, that then leaves me free to have my "main laptop" bigger and better. (Bigger screen, Better components). This is because my main laptop being used to intensive purposes is generally mobile but sits in one spot mostly.

Netbook: I carry everywhere. I use Skpe, Email, Web surfing, travels with me wherever I go (sits in my backpack / handbag)
20 inch laptop: Goes from home office to my place of work. I use to design web pages, program, edit photo's / video, intensive spreadsheet work. (generally goes in my car and in my roll-bag).

I too hear what you and others say, but you have to understand that there is market for a 10" laptop with a core 2 processor. This would be for people who need to do more than just email, web surfing and other light graphical work. There are 12" laptops with core 2 processor but a 10" laptop with netbook build quality combined with a 1.6 dual core 2 processor would have its own market.]]>Aug 22nd 2008 6:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/22/intel-slips-new-core-2-duo-s-processors-out-the-door/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/22/intel-slips-new-core-2-duo-s-processors-out-the-door/Aug 22nd 2008 4:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/22/intel-slips-new-core-2-duo-s-processors-out-the-door/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/22/intel-slips-new-core-2-duo-s-processors-out-the-door/Aug 22nd 2008 5:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/22/intel-slips-new-core-2-duo-s-processors-out-the-door/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/22/intel-slips-new-core-2-duo-s-processors-out-the-door/
But you have to admit (until very recently) Apple has been doing better than usual. They've released the iPhone, which despite its flaws, is an excellent smartphone. They've released the thinnest notebook ever, which despite all of the flaws (which there are PLENTY of) is still an amazing notebook. They've launched MobileMe, which once it (hopefully) finally gets up and running will be an excellent service for the price.

Can you name another company that has had this much going on lately? iPhone, MobileMe, AppStore, iPod updates, MacBook Air, etc..............they each deserve press coverage and they are each getting it.

Engadget writes about (you'll never believe this) GADGETS. And all of the above are gadgets, or services for use with your gadgets. So yes, Engadget is going to write about them. Now yes, sometimes I think they overdo it, but for the most part they are just doing their job as tech bloggers.

Also, another reason they write about Apple so much is because they get LOTS of traffic from Apple related news. Don't believe me? Ask Ryan: http://www.ryanblock.com/2008/06/biggest-day-ever/

I am an Apple fanboy. I have an iPhone and love it. I have a Mac and love it. I am not saying that Apple is superior. I'm just saying they're doing pretty well and because of that engadget is going to blog about them.

I am not standing up for Engadget because I am standing up for Apple. I don't have the time to do stupid stuff like that. I am standing up for Engadget because I believe that most of the reporting about Apple is justified, and that the criticisms about engadget blogging too much about Apple are ridiculous.

Go ahead, rank me as you wish. ]]>Aug 22nd 2008 6:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/22/intel-slips-new-core-2-duo-s-processors-out-the-door/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/22/intel-slips-new-core-2-duo-s-processors-out-the-door/

I'm just guessing but, I think that's why Lenovo is only using SSD's in their X300 and a slower processor. ...they can't possibly create enough airflow to vent out such a small space. If you read the Lenovo engineering blog, they talk about how much effort went into the creation...it's pretty interesting.

I've got my doubts about an ultra-thin laptop being able to handle a 2.0+gHz processor with today's current cooling solutions...]]>Aug 22nd 2008 10:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/22/intel-slips-new-core-2-duo-s-processors-out-the-door/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/22/intel-slips-new-core-2-duo-s-processors-out-the-door/Aug 23rd 2008 2:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/22/intel-slips-new-core-2-duo-s-processors-out-the-door/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/22/intel-slips-new-core-2-duo-s-processors-out-the-door/Aug 23rd 2008 9:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/22/intel-slips-new-core-2-duo-s-processors-out-the-door/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/22/intel-slips-new-core-2-duo-s-processors-out-the-door/
