Seriously guys, thanks-- you've had great on the ground coverage and have been more up to date than any other blog or website during this.

shitty battery life for a flash-based device... hard drive based stuff has better than that... look at the big-screen version of the gigabeat.

they'll have to do better than that to get hardcore converts.

@Ed

you're incorrect. they say it "uses LED technology," it actually is an LCD, though. I have an SZ, great little laptop by the way

rest in peace, james. you were a great guy, always helpful and smart in your responses to any question, and you will be dearly missed in this community.

peace, my friend.

dammit. i was hoping that would set trends and eventually i would walk outside and just smell chocolate chip deliciousness.

Amazing. Hope pays off. Hope they find James alright.

AMD has dominated the CPU market in the price-performance ratio for a long time, and to see intel take up the lead for once is not really surprising. However, AMD has a superb development team with some really brilliant minds behind them, so give it a few months, maybe even a year-- they'll be back on top.

amen. i will be getting one asap.

ehhh... sexy time if you give me 360

Let's not forget that the AMD chip is still a very powerful, low power-comsumption chip. The core 2 duo does not blow it out of the water, it edges it out and the amd chip still edges it out, in my opinion, value wise. And when AMD's next gen chip is finally revealed... intel will be running for the hills.
