Sep 3rd 2009 6:27AM A few years back, I was considering the X505 as my first laptop, but unfortunately it was underpowered, even at the premium it demanded back then.
Hopefully, this new sibling won't meet the same fate *cough*Atom*cough*, and I just might buy it.

ASUS: "Our goal is to provide products that are better than Apple's" {Engadget}
Jun 9th 2009 4:17PM Competition is good and all, but somehow I don't think ASUS's strategy of "spend very little on marketing, instead spend the majority of budget in engineering products" is going to work, especially when your set competitor is Apple, a company that's successful largely due to its marketing. I mean, just take a look at the recent iPhone 3G S vs Pre poll. Regardless of what innovations or improvements Palm offered, and the fact that the iPhone 3G S is literally the same thing as the original 3G (but costs much more), people are still going to buy the iPhone. Bam - marketing magic!
A few marketing tips:
1. Lose the "Heart Touching" part of your slogan.
2. Fire the people who designed the Eee logo (or blacklist the company responsible).
3. Spend more on marketing.
Motion control wars: Xbox 360 and PS3 are playing catch-up with Wii next year, who will do it right? {Engadget}
Jun 5th 2009 12:57PM Amazing. Even in a post about the 360, PS3 and wii, Engadget still somehow manages to find a way to mention the iPhone.
I usually just ignore all the noise about Engadget's supposedly non-existing bias, but come on....

BTW Tom it's spelled "amicable", although if you know of a word "amciable" meaning "handing over money through gritted teeth while smiling in a forced manner" then you've nailed it just right. ;8¬)
I suggest you hit the read link. The quotes are around the word for a reason.
ASUS Eee PC 1005HA-M and 1005HA-H steal Seashell's sublimity {Engadget}
May 15th 2009 9:19AM Instead of making dozens of models, maybe they should just let people choose their own configurations. Surely it won't cost more than producing all these different models?!

Packard Bell rolls out 13.4-inch EasyNote Butterfly laptop {Engadget}
Apr 14th 2009 2:18PM It actually looks very decent!
My first computer was a Packard Bell 486. So hideous I wasn't able to google up any pictures. I used to think the monitor mounted speakers were cool, and the rippled mouse was simply bas ass - until the left button died like within a month.
