I, for one, welcome our new robot pancake making overlords. But if it it doesn't also make sausage and some nicely basted eggs, I'm going to keep going to IHOP!
Weird, never seen a post truncated like that before. Anyway I'll just post it again, so forgive me if Engaget finds the remainder of my last post after I repost it again and it ends up as a double post... Maybe it is because I used less-than dollar-sign in my post. I'll leave it out this time.
This is the Asus Eee PC effect on pricing, methinks. If more manufacturers try to hit the under $500 price point in an UMPC then the consumers will enjoy even more options.
Here's my idea, sort of like reverse thinking on Tablet PC... Keep the unit small to where it's still a good touch-type keyboard, and then allow the attachment of whatever size screen you want to lug around. Need a 2 pound laptop? Stick on the 7" screen and go. Want to do some huge spreadsheets in the conference room? Stick on a 15" or 17" screen and haul that thing in there. Sitting at a desk? Hook up the DVI and run it at 1600x1200 on the 20" at the desk. What about those glasses with the built in LCD monitor, now you don't even need carry a screen on it at all...
This isn't a system update, it's just the Photo Channel. If you need mp3, don't go to the online store and get the new Photo Channel... If you buy a Wii that already has the new Photo Channel installed, well I guess you better like AAC!
You have a source on this claim? All I could find was that Microsoft is making it possible for other search engines to function in the same way the built-in one does... http://blogs.zdnet.com/microsoft/?p=713
"What's the best gaming laptop for under 1,500 bucks? I had my eye on the P7805u (Gateway), but it seems Best Buy has run out for the time being. Also, as a secondary question, I like the specs on brands such as iBUYPOWER and CyberPower and the like, but are they reliable? I'm a little worried about buying labels that aren't huge like Dell, Gateway, etc. Thanks!"
