Epson teases nobody with its chubby netbook silhouette

Can you feel it? That tepid urge purging itself into a dew of sweaty anticipation across your forehead can only be attributed to another boxy netbook, this time presented by Epson in teaser format. The MiniNote hits Japan in November packing the usual netbook specs: 1.6GHz Atom with XP riding 1GB memory and 160GB hard disk, WiFi, and a 10.2-inch LCD slinging 1,024 x 600 pixels from bezel to bezel. Hardly worthy of so many exclamation points. That unfortunate silhouette even makes the LaVie Light look sleek by comparison. We can hardly wait to be amused by the spectacle of the unveiling.

What's with the musical note at the end of that speech bubble? Is the computer singing?

[nanobis @ Oct 21st 2008 6:11AM]

If its a singing net book im interested! BUt im drunk, so who knows.

Here's hoping that it's actually a net book sized portable laser printer/scanner that is compatible with WinXP SP3 and higher, can print 10.1 pagers per minute, scan at 1024x600, can store 160 gigs of stuff and also runs on an Atom processor.

Damn, even that's kind of crappy.

Chances are that this ad will just pass all asian commuters by anyway, since there is no sexy chick in the picture. And NO the blurred out suit in the back doesn't count!
