    Maybe it's the Time Banana yellow, but there's something about the little tablet itself that makes me want it, despite not knowing how well it even operates.

    I remember when sports car mods were exclusive to VHS rewinding devices. The field of stylistic technology sure has come a long way.

    In reply to Microsoft Wants to Rebrand Netbooks 'Low-Cost Small Notebook PCs'
    Problem is: as fungible as the tern "netbook" is, it at least has some history to back up a core definition. A netbook is a machine that follows in the tradition of the ASUS Eeepc 701. So when we see a machine described as a "netbook" we expect that it will be very, very small, inexpensive, that there's a good possibility it will feature SSD storage, that it will be powered by a very low-voltage processor and boast long battery life. The term "low cost small notebook PC" is completely meaningless, however. It can mean anything, and thus means nothing.

    Dear Microsoft:

    UMPC. How did that work out?

    Yeah. We'll be sticking with "netbook", thank you very much.

    Love,

    Companies that will gladly continue to sell computers that still run XP if you don't piss us off

    So what? NONE of the BIG brands these days are worth what they use to stand for, QULITY.
    The Netbooks listed are probably made in the same damn factory as the BIG brands.

    @Dr.Fire: Won't argue with that, but the more important problem is that we we're able to buy stuff from these larger manufacturers. These Asian and European boutique operations? Not so much.
