A look back on popular stories from today in a specific year.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
the aspire has a smaller footprint than the 904hd. it's is in the same shell as the 1000h.
the 904HA comes in the 1000H case, but with a smaller screen. It has a keyboard comparable in size to the HP Mini note, so it's basically a 92% full sized laptop keyboard (or close). Over the Aspire, you have a SATA harddrive so you can easily upgrade to any new SSD. PLUS it's a lot more easy to upgrade anything on it. You have to dismantle the Aspire, nearly completely, in order to upgrade anything.
Where the heck is the Dell E Slim, August??? September??... Engadget put the pressure on 'em!
Apple innovates and then the others follow...
...what? This is supposed to be a netbook, though you'd never know it looking at the price. How are they following Apple with a product that doesn't even have an Apple equivalent?
I find it hard to believe that so many people believe Apple is perfect and other-worldly. Rather, I think it's more likely that our reactions and the infamous nature of the stereotype drives the comments. After all, Apple is a computer company not a cult.
Didn't you get the memo Brett?
When making references to devices that copied Apple, the only criteria required is for Apple to have the capability of making it.
I'm sure theres a GM forum where Serge Eluhu said the same thing about the new Camaro.
I hope the S101 has Expressgate!
So this 904HA seems to be just like the 900HA announced a few days ago, except with a 6-cell battery instead of 4-cell?? Great.
And that S101 is just a trendy looking version of the same old?
I'd think about getting the S101 if it sported a dual core atom.
Unfortunately, it doesn't...but I've got to say, that's a pretty thin netbook.
What is it with 0.3 MP cameras? We really should have retired that size 2 years ago.
"puke green" -- hehehehe (depending on what you had earlier in the day)
It's a laptop !

Like the thickness (0.6" to 0.8" it looks like)! Nice to see somebody doing something different here, and you've got to give them credit for that.
If that's it for their innovation though, the price is too steep. $100 more for some sex appeal, sure. $200-$300 over a $350-$399 netbook? I don't think so...
For that price it should be an SLC SSD for improved performance, a little more vertical resolution, a better keyboard (they didn't fix the right shift key), and maybe a leather wrapped shell...? At least if we're going to go the whole brown route...
