Updated Archos 13 laptop to roll out next month

This one looks to have largely gotten lost among the hubbub of CeBIT earlier this month, but it seems like Archos quietly announced a followup to its Archos 13 laptop, which is now set to debut sometime next month. Complete details are still a bit light unfortunately, but the revised model will sport that always desirably "classy look," along with an Atom D510, Windows 7 Home Premium for an OS and, presumably, a 13.3-inch display. No word on pricing just yet, but the original Archos 13 came in at an even $800.

Forget this, buy the iPad! It is much better!
IT IS THE BETTER LAPTOP!

@Rick Goodman

No way, man. This thing is always desirably.

[commenter7 Posted Mar 17th 2010 5:10PM]

@Rick Goodman

I wouldnt buy neither of them

@commenter7 Double negative

@Rick Goodman

I like the iPad because it's NOT a laptop, netbook, or heaven knows what. So it's not much of a comparison. But it's no coincidence this looks "like" an aluminum Macbook. But a Macbook it's not. Why get this when I can get a white Macbook with better trimmings for a lower price... at least where i am. $799 at Microcenter without rebate O_o

*either

fixd before grammar police comes in

[godsAngryTesticles Posted Mar 17th 2010 5:13PM]

@commenter7

But what about the spelling police?

[Oli D Posted Mar 17th 2010 5:26PM]

@godsAngryTesticles Or the punctuation police, a sub-branch of the Grammar Police?

[Pickaxe Posted Mar 17th 2010 5:13PM]

Ugh that color. Blech.

[htd Posted Mar 17th 2010 5:23PM]

13.3 screen with such big border around keyboard and screen? that will be the size of some 15" laptop... with D510... and archos' usual overprice...

[weatherman Posted Mar 17th 2010 5:24PM]

If you have to say it's "classy" it probably isn't.

[N900 Posted Mar 17th 2010 5:25PM]

Man, I'd rather settle on the UL30Vt

[nothing Posted Mar 17th 2010 5:26PM]

Low "Power" Consumption..... leaving "power" out would confuse non tech savvy people which seem to be the target for these under-powered, over priced crap

[staticjethro Posted Mar 17th 2010 5:33PM]

Remove the Keyboard and put a touchscreen and be a part of the Archos tablet family and an iPad competitor. Make sense to me.

[storrey Posted Mar 17th 2010 5:37PM]

Stay classy Archos.....just like Ron Burgundy.

[Janvito5 Posted Mar 17th 2010 5:48PM]

This ad looks like it came from the past, with faded colours and film grain...

[albinomexi Posted Mar 17th 2010 5:55PM]

Boring color

[jellotime91 Posted Mar 17th 2010 6:02PM]

Are you serious? Does every freaking laptop have to look like the MacBook Pro now???

This is ridiculous.

[Mrtoocool Posted Mar 17th 2010 7:28PM]

@jellotime91

I said the same thing when the Unibody MacBook's came out because they looked just like my Sony Vaio

[jellotime91 Posted Mar 17th 2010 7:30PM]

@Mrtoocool Nobody with half an eye on their pocketbooks is copying Sony.

[Jomolungma Posted Mar 17th 2010 6:03PM]

Maybe I have a self-esteem issue, but I always feel a sense of affirmation when I see my initial thoughts echoed in the body of an Engadget post. Classy look? WTF?

[Mr Hett Posted Mar 17th 2010 6:29PM]

WHERE'S THE UPDATE ARCHOS 9?

[Firesuite Posted Mar 17th 2010 6:35PM]

Bezel!!!

[mp3 Posted Mar 17th 2010 10:54PM]

I'll keep using my Pavilion dm3, thanks.
