I think what's more spectacular now is how Steve Ballmer (CEO of Microsoft) used MacBook Pro as their background to promote windows 7 on broaddaylight @todayshow! lol ...

I say way to go microsoft!

@ Andir

STFU...Apple just had a whole page on engadget including break downs...Now its MSFT turn. Then it will be Droid.

[(Unverified) Posted Oct 22nd 2009 1:52PM]

"Wait, Andir's post now got me confused.... Is he mad at Engadget for too much 7, not enough Apple, or the other way around?'

He is mad at two faced ass clowns who bitch and moan about more than one Apple post in a row on the front page but are silent when there are numerous Windows articles a row.

[N900 Posted Oct 22nd 2009 1:06PM]

.........*rolls eyes*

[Dafrety Posted Oct 22nd 2009 1:07PM]

You guys forgot the HP Envy 15.

[(Unverified) Posted Oct 22nd 2009 3:00PM]

True....it most exciting Laptop released with windows 7 till this date( waiting for adamo xps)

[xirsteon Posted Oct 22nd 2009 1:08PM]

Holycow. I just had a brain freeze just looking at all of these hardware. I suppose I can wait a bit longer until the prices drops down a bit then I'd buy.

[(Unverified) Posted Oct 22nd 2009 1:08PM]

Where the hell is the Adamo XPS. Ryan Block was live blogging the event and had pics of it. Where was Engadget for all this...

[(Unverified) Posted Oct 22nd 2009 1:10PM]

Oh they just updated it and put it in there... Kinda slow today Engadget!

[(Unverified) Posted Oct 22nd 2009 2:26PM]

somebody really hates Dell, not that they are amazing or anything, but the Adamo, XPS One, mini 10, and Studio XPS PCs should have definately been on that list considering the other picks

[(Unverified) Posted Oct 22nd 2009 1:09PM]

If i could comfortably hold these touchscreen computers in my lap like a TABLET then I might buy one.

[(Unverified) Posted Oct 22nd 2009 1:13PM]

I was referring to the all-in-one desktops. Not the laptop/tablet clunkers.

[NohOne Posted Oct 22nd 2009 1:10PM]

I know, we need more articles about people who are disgusted and "sick" because others who do not use the OS of your choice, the cure-all of societies' problems, the only OS providing true freedom from the man, the OS of ideals, the great and wonderful Linux.

[John W Posted Oct 22nd 2009 1:10PM]

I bought a Sony VAIO CW. Just waiting for UPS to deliver it today.

[(Unverified) Posted Oct 22nd 2009 1:25PM]

I picked my CW up this morning. I think you are going to like it - I certainly do, and I am very hard to impress, especially after the Vista mess. Enjoy!

[(Unverified) Posted Oct 22nd 2009 1:12PM]

It's not Microsoft's fault they work with so many companies and provide awesome products in a large range of prices from affordable to high-end.

Apple had their day yesterday, or was it Tuesday? They came out with what? A $69 computer mouse, a laptop, and other overpriced crap.

Today we got Windows 7, a slew of new laptops, desktops, accessories, and tons of goodies.

I wanted an Apple laptop mainly for the power cord feature where it pops off if pulled, hell, that new laptop during the Windows 7 live NYC thing allows for a laptop to charge on a plate - no wires, I'm all in on that!!!

[Andir Posted Oct 22nd 2009 1:12PM]

I think we need more people picking specific words out of posts and making a completely fabricated story out of them and inserting words into people's mouths... Noh One, feel free to begin if you like. You can pick on the word "fabricated" if you like. That one should provide entertainment for hours.

[(Unverified) Posted Oct 22nd 2009 1:12PM]

where is the Acer AspireRevo
$200?
seems every where I see it it is at least $330

[(Unverified) Posted Oct 22nd 2009 1:14PM]

Andir3.0, just shut up.

[Kesey Posted Oct 22nd 2009 1:18PM]

If you have to explain...

[TikiTeko Posted Oct 22nd 2009 1:19PM]

Promoting reading, you know :D With the New Color e-Book Reader from Amazon

[Shidell Posted Oct 22nd 2009 1:19PM]

Dear Asus,

If you make the Eee PC 1201N available today, I will love you forever.

[(Unverified) Posted Oct 22nd 2009 1:23PM]

Am I the only one that finds the HP MS200 at top look eerily similar to the imac? Who knows, if the price is good, it would make a wonderful hackintosh.

[(Unverified) Posted Oct 22nd 2009 1:25PM]

I take that back, MS200 is impotent garbage.

[NohOne Posted Oct 22nd 2009 1:23PM]

"I'm sick of seeing people blinded by the look of the system that offers no REAL benefit."

"The side I'm on doesn't cost me a thing and helps society more than sending all your money to the Steves."

"You can either have blind love for a monopolistic company or blind love for an ideal"

Why pick out specific words, why put words in someone else's mouth, why fabricate a story when I can quote your exact words? OK, I admit, I made up the one about sticking it to the man - but is that not the implication in your postings?

[tylersmyler Posted Oct 22nd 2009 1:24PM]

WHERE'S MY ADAMO XPS SPECS??? WHERE!!?

Can you hear me Dell?

[(Unverified) Posted Oct 22nd 2009 1:26PM]

@Andir
Yes you're right Windows is just on 90% of computers.
A new version of Windows is not very important.
But a new mouse ! That's important ! Because it's a new mouse, come on !

[TikiTeko Posted Oct 22nd 2009 1:27PM]

Lower rank me also, but be a bit easier with Andir.... I mean, I am sure Engadget's web traffic is majorly made of PC users... To be honest, I also woke up this morning, thanked God for living, thanked God for Windows 7, ran to my PC with tears of joy running down my cheek ... and was pretty disappointed as I did not see a headline with some balloons or confetti announcing "Windows 7 is here!!"

Yes, previous articles have been clamoring the Windows 7 articles, some sort of "Yay! Us" article.

About Engadget, being biased.... well, I don't really know... There is no one single person on the world that is bias free, if you say you don't have a bias, then you have a lot of BS - which is close to BiaS anyways, only stinkier :D

[TikiTeko Posted Oct 22nd 2009 1:29PM]

Wait, Andir's post now got me confused.... Is he mad at Engadget for too much 7, not enough Apple, or the other way around?

I am as confused as Adam on Mother's Day.

Hey now, don't be disrespectivating me :)

[(Unverified) Posted Oct 22nd 2009 1:34PM]

You guys could of also listed all of Apple's new product line with the fine print saying that it's also running Windows 7!! LOL

[DarkElfa Posted Oct 22nd 2009 1:32PM]

Linux fans, back to your basement/caves, Apple fans, back to your Starbucks/Steve Jobs' ass!

Windows 7 has arrived! MWAHAHAHA!!

[Andir Posted Oct 22nd 2009 1:35PM]

Yeah, more bipartisanship! If you aren't with us, you are with the enemy! Quick, down rank him and bite off his head!

[venkateshnt Posted Oct 22nd 2009 1:44PM]

This is one reason, I always love windows. An abundance of choice of hardware to choose from!

I wish there was a release like that every month, so we can take a break from Apple stuff.

Great article!

[(Unverified) Posted Oct 22nd 2009 1:50PM]

Ladies and Gents, Please sit tight and welcome windows 7. Oh, that guy over there, your diaper is leaking, yes you, the one holding the macbook.

I'm very sad you made no mention of the Asus UL series laptops. I am counting the hours until my UL80Vt arrives tomorrow.

It is me, or Acer Aspire 5738PG is in the wrong category

Where are the desktops? Does anyone sell those anymore?

[burnz007 Posted Oct 23rd 2009 2:32PM]

As an avid Linux user I welcome this new iteration of Windows and hope it impresses me, unlike XP and Vista which were just disappointing.

Could've sworn I suggested this post to Engadget 2 days ago... funny how no credit is given.

What about the Acer Ferrari One?
