Urm, that's a rebrand of a rebrand. Looks exactly like the Gateway E1803h that engadget covered here, down to the cheesy metallic badge on the top left of the machine. Mentioned here: http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/23/gateways-11-6-inch-ec1803h-culv-ultraportable-surfaces-in-canad/ Reviewed here: http://www.silentpcreview.com/Gateway_EC1803h_notebook

A few more options in this model, apparently, but I hope this one ships without the stupid French-English Keyboard that made me return mine. I can't believe manufacturers are so cheap, they won't bother to ship one for English speaking Canadians (80%).

Josh, Paul, Nilay, etc.
Thank you for this post. I am so sick and tired of people complaining about an editorial bias, which clearly does not exist. Do they even read your articles? Do they understand what a confirmation bias is? And why do they have so much investment in a device or a platform. Jesus, get a life people. And if you hate it so much, leave the site. Go to Gizmodo. Oh wait, they have the same bias there? Well. Maybe it's you!!

Wow, PC users sure must be insecure. Don't like the price, don't buy it. You must either spend a lot of time in your mom's basement to clog up Engadget's comments with your hate whenever Apple stories come up (because there are a lot of them), and meanwhile Apple's laughing all the way to the bank, 1% drop notwithstanding. The NPD numbers aren't revenue numbers, but unit numbers. Apple is still making all of its usual margins, while everyone else is cutting prices left, right and centre. And October showed a 28% increase; one month's sales numbers mean nothing when considered in context.

Could the windows wankers who are getting their jollies by making jokes about "macs not just working" because they have software updates go back to wanking, please? System updates and bug fixes are not evidence that an OS has problems: these "point" upgrades come much more frequently than Service Packs, and I'm personally thankful it doesn't take Apple a year to fix widespread issues (other than security updates).

Actually, the only idiots around here are those who have made their judgements without even hearing them yet. That and people who think "sike" is the way to spell the word they want to use.

If you can live with G, then the Linksys WRT54GL with DD-WRT or Tomato firmware. If you live in a downtown condo like I do, and have to put up with 30-40 B/G signals within reach, an AEBS is the way to go: rock solid on 5ghz, N only.

Having tried the MPA Music Adapter with the iPhone and Shure 210s, let me just say this is not a solution to the iPhone earphones problem. The Adapter works well, but is huge and heavy; not only that, you'll have to clip the mic very close to your mouth for someone to hear you properly. The mic and button needs to be placed where it is on the Apple OEM phones, like the UEs and Vibes. Unfortunately, both the UEs and the Vibes have serious quality control problems - they've both failed on me multiple times, and yeah they get replaced under warranty, but it's a pain.

someone get OS X86 running on one of these things right away. the 12" in particular. I miss my 12" Powerbook.

Wow. I never knew a negative IQ was possible. Thanks for that.

Jesus Christ,
What has the world come to? Ryan has to take time out of running one of the only busy, profitable blogs - the best new tech blog out there - to answer this crap? Get over yourselves, move out of your mom's basement, and start a new blog that salivates over MS, Linux, Creative, or whatever the hell you want. You all keep on threatening to stop reading, but can't even bring yourself to stop commenting, probably because without the gadget porn that Engadget provides, you'd be forced to go out and socialize.

Ryan, I can't believe you had to write this response: I wouldn't worry about your readership going anywhere. Internet fanboys have nothing better to do, and certainly no better option (Yeah, I guess Gizmodo is more balanced when it comes to Apple products).
