I know this thing is going to make money because I just said to myself... "it's so easy, why didn't I think of that, dammit!!!"]]>Mar 23rd 2010 1:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/23/the-panel-rechargeable-led-monitor-sentences-you-to-a-more-pro/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/23/the-panel-rechargeable-led-monitor-sentences-you-to-a-more-pro/Huh? The whole point of a netbook is to have a small, cheap, portable laptop. Add on a $350 screen like this and you lose the small part. Plus the cheap part. Don't forget the portable part. In fact, what would be the point of that at all? You might as well spend the combined cost of the netbook and screen on a real laptop with large screen.]]>Mar 23rd 2010 3:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/23/the-panel-rechargeable-led-monitor-sentences-you-to-a-more-pro/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/23/the-panel-rechargeable-led-monitor-sentences-you-to-a-more-pro/your argument is flawed. How does purchasing this monitor take away from the portability of a netbook. If buying this required you to rip off your netbook screen and weld this one on then you would have some one of an argument because then you would be permanently altering the portability of the device. "In fact, what would be the point of that at all? You might as well spend the combined cost of the netbook and screen on a real laptop with large screen." The point is to be able to use your netbook at home as well for extended periods of time, the solution to this is not to buy a laptop with a bigger screen because now u have completely lost out the form factor, so for a person that actually ultimately prefers the portability over anything else your advise if very narrow minded.]]>Mar 23rd 2010 8:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/23/the-panel-rechargeable-led-monitor-sentences-you-to-a-more-pro/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/23/the-panel-rechargeable-led-monitor-sentences-you-to-a-more-pro/What is the point of 'portability' at home? When you're home, your computer just sits in one spot 90% of the time and if you want to bring it down to the kitchen or living a room, a netbook certainly has zero portability advantage over a normal-sized laptop. The portability comes into play when you don't want to stick a full-size laptop in your bag or if you're going on vacation and every pound counts. It's in these exact situations that buying this screen makes no sense because you now have something that is bigger, bulkier, heavier, more difficult to pack in your bag and in many cases even more expensive than a normal laptop. Not to mention that it loses on performance as well. If you're implying that you would rather use this screen at home and take the netbook on the road, then the argument becomes even stronger: you can get a much, much better value in a normal LCD monitor.]]>Mar 23rd 2010 12:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/23/the-panel-rechargeable-led-monitor-sentences-you-to-a-more-pro/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/23/the-panel-rechargeable-led-monitor-sentences-you-to-a-more-pro/Mar 23rd 2010 1:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/23/the-panel-rechargeable-led-monitor-sentences-you-to-a-more-pro/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/23/the-panel-rechargeable-led-monitor-sentences-you-to-a-more-pro/Mar 23rd 2010 8:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/23/the-panel-rechargeable-led-monitor-sentences-you-to-a-more-pro/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/23/the-panel-rechargeable-led-monitor-sentences-you-to-a-more-pro/

I totally agree with your statement on its usefulness for coders.

It'd be great for photographers too. Pairing this with a netbook and you can compare photos side by side at a larger resolution as compared to the minuscule screen size of a netbook.]]>Mar 23rd 2010 2:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/23/the-panel-rechargeable-led-monitor-sentences-you-to-a-more-pro/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/23/the-panel-rechargeable-led-monitor-sentences-you-to-a-more-pro/Well I've never owned a Macbook Pro but... sheesh, what a bigoted statement. So, you're saying that all MBP owners are egotistical snobs? The irony is, your presumption that you've managed to accurately judge an entire category of people is the most egotistical thing in itself. I do hate an obnoxious Apple fanboy, but obnoxious Windows/Linux fanboys are even worse. Have you ever considered that some people like to get out of the house and enjoy the atmosphere of a nice cafe while having their laptop with them?

It would be great for collaborative work - showing a presentation or images/video to a colleague or client.

As a video editor often working with a laptop, I'd like the extra space for little extra bulk trade-off. I could also use it as an adhoc video monitor for clients with the extra connectivity - mini HDMI is killer.

My two cents to the manufacturers? Make a 15" and 17" version to match the bigger MBPs as well - these are the machines used by pros who need more screen area. It would easily fit into existing laptop bags and add little weight.

Look forward to buying one - even if it's just to play PS3 games on inbetween edits....]]>Mar 23rd 2010 5:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/23/the-panel-rechargeable-led-monitor-sentences-you-to-a-more-pro/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/23/the-panel-rechargeable-led-monitor-sentences-you-to-a-more-pro/Mar 23rd 2010 5:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/23/the-panel-rechargeable-led-monitor-sentences-you-to-a-more-pro/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/23/the-panel-rechargeable-led-monitor-sentences-you-to-a-more-pro/
