Many people are missing the point of these new ultra mobile PCs like the eeePC and 2133 Mini-Note. They keep screaming that for 4-500 dollars, you can buy a much faster machine. Very true. That means these notebooks aren’t for you. These machines are for PORTABILITY. For the purpose of these UMPC, performance is not that important. Eventhough I may be one of those idiots who would pay 50% premium for a E85 over a E84 for the tiny bit of performance gain, I could see the uses for these low powered computers. They would be the perfect computer to take to class. The mini-note in particular. The larger keys will help taking notes easier. Except of course, nothing beats pen and paper for note taking. It just isn’t intuitive to do things on the computer that could be easily done on a notepad, such as drawing a quick graph. I personally log around with a 14″ notebook. Although I am big enough not to care about the extra 5 pounds on my shoulder, but it does take away desk space when I do want to take notes the traditional way.

Although the performance doesn’t matter that much, I do still somewhat care about it when I use it for other purposes. I do own more computers than most people. I mean, my NAS server is faster than most people’s desktop (C2D equipped ). I am still thinking about waiting for the updated version of the Mini-Note with Atom or Isaiah processor. Not only these will have a bit more oomph, they will be easier on the battery too. Though by the time those come out, I doubt I will need that much mobility. I am still tempted to buy the Mini-Note. Of course, I could just get a Macbook Air and call it a day

PS. How come people say the forward tilt from the extended battery for the 2133 is ergonomical? As an ex-Carpel Tunnel sufferer, I can’t agree It it puts the keyboard LESS ergonomically position. A negative tilt is eaiser on the wrist.

Yes. The intarweb became even more stupid. Luckily, it was just for 1 day. I guess it is back to mild retardation now.
All the stupid pranks and fake announcements were mostly dumb. I did like Youtube’s rick roll. Hilarious. Rick roll is funny. PERIOD

Oh, NVidia launched their 9800GTX on April first. The only joke was the product… Oh don’t get me wrong, I am still getting one. Though, it is still nothing more than an overclocked 8800GTS 512M

AcroRD32info.exe I hate this thing. To disable it, just use Shell Extension Manager, and go down to .pdf to disable it. Bam. It no longer launches when you mouse over a pdf.
