I love netbooks, i think they are great pieces of kit, but this is just a clone. Am I missing something here?]]>Sep 24th 2008 3:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/24/sylvanias-g-netbook-magni-gets-detailed-its-a-rebadged-wind/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/24/sylvanias-g-netbook-magni-gets-detailed-its-a-rebadged-wind/Sep 24th 2008 1:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/24/sylvanias-g-netbook-magni-gets-detailed-its-a-rebadged-wind/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/24/sylvanias-g-netbook-magni-gets-detailed-its-a-rebadged-wind/
You did not see a WIND at BestBuy. You saw an ASUS Eee 900.

BestBuy doesn't sell the WIND.

NOBODY would ever say that the WIND is too small to use. The keyboard is highly useable due to its being close to full-size!

Then again, since in your world brand and model are irrelevant details to your informed opinions, you're right!!]]>Sep 24th 2008 7:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/24/sylvanias-g-netbook-magni-gets-detailed-its-a-rebadged-wind/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/24/sylvanias-g-netbook-magni-gets-detailed-its-a-rebadged-wind/
There are also those who don't mind a slightly smaller keyboard and miniscule screen, as long as it can be carried in almost any bag without worry. That's not you.

Simple, no?



Anyway, who the hell are Sylvania?]]>Sep 24th 2008 1:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/24/sylvanias-g-netbook-magni-gets-detailed-its-a-rebadged-wind/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/24/sylvanias-g-netbook-magni-gets-detailed-its-a-rebadged-wind/Sep 24th 2008 2:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/24/sylvanias-g-netbook-magni-gets-detailed-its-a-rebadged-wind/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/24/sylvanias-g-netbook-magni-gets-detailed-its-a-rebadged-wind/Sep 24th 2008 2:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/24/sylvanias-g-netbook-magni-gets-detailed-its-a-rebadged-wind/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/24/sylvanias-g-netbook-magni-gets-detailed-its-a-rebadged-wind/
Please just make a weekly overview of the xxx rebadged notebooks that come out every day.

Unless there is new hardware, it is nothing special anymore.

you mean they have ones with free porn?!

anyway, i was gonna say the same thing. all these posts about Wind rebadges are redundant, unnecessary, and really a waste of the readers and editor's time.]]>Sep 24th 2008 2:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/24/sylvanias-g-netbook-magni-gets-detailed-its-a-rebadged-wind/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/24/sylvanias-g-netbook-magni-gets-detailed-its-a-rebadged-wind/Sep 24th 2008 2:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/24/sylvanias-g-netbook-magni-gets-detailed-its-a-rebadged-wind/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/24/sylvanias-g-netbook-magni-gets-detailed-its-a-rebadged-wind/1)what sets it apart from it's brother?
2)if it has the SAME specs, is there going to be a price difference?

We could see them go head to head come christmas time and the sylvania could end up being cheaper.

As for Engadgets coverage,, it would be nice to see a small window in the corner for "general" netbook stuff like re-badging - new company same specs/price, but still have major stuff on the main page.

I have the nasty feeling that the linux version will only be available in a 3cell version so that people like me who would either dual boot or just throw XP on it will not be able to do it on the "good" version.

As soon as someone releases the external touchscreen mod (just plugging into a USB port) for the Wind I will have to make my decision.

Time to start saving again, no more thinkgeek shopping]]>Sep 24th 2008 4:37AM
