I went on Newegg and came up with similar hardware priced around $400. Add OS for around $100 and save, save, save. Another thing Psystar learned from Apple, $25 worth of RAM for $50. ...

Geeksquadmyss has a point, you can run Mac OS on cheaper hardware. I'll have to slip over to Maclife to read the benchmarks v. the new mini to see if its worth the effort, if they ever test it. I just ...

Where are the pictures of Norman licking it? Is it not worthy?? ...

I'm waiting for the benchmarks so I can see how big a drop in performance it has compared to the zero point systems. When are you guys cooking up new zero point rigs anyway? And at $400, how does it c ...

Are you saying it was $200 for a Pentium 2.66GHz? Seriously, that was a rip even last year. ...

I like the thought process of using SO-DIMMs, but not for a performance board. This board makes sense in the micro-ATX form factor. Imagine the advantages when building a LAN party box. Space freed by ...

If nVidia and VIA design an x86 chip, could they bring the design to the foundry and get them made? ...

What CAN you fit on 4GB of storage? Would the 1.8" HDDs in th iPod raise the price that much? Why aren't they being used in the first place? ...
1GB Ram limit? on Microsoft's Fears Realized: Netbooks are Killing Off Windows Laptops at an Alarming Rate
Posted 02/17/2009 at 02:45:07pm
Is it true that Win XP netbooks are limited to 1GB RAM at MicroSoft's request? That would hamstring them further. Well, cheap is cheap. Especially in these tough economic times you can't mistake low p ...

WHere was this idea when Microsoft had the Great Win 98/Win 98SE debacle? Remember when everyone went to get the Win 98SE upgrade but the stores were chock full og win95 to win 98 discs? How about whe ...

You'd think milspec systems would at least adhere to the outdated Orange Book suggestions, something only NT BARELY registered in. Now that cloud computing is back in vogue we can go back to the mainf ...

I'm happy to see manufacturers taking the chances to move the PC form factor foreward. I like the way HP built out their Blackbird and Firebird, and I'm waiting to see how Antec levereges the PSU to c ...

The sub $1000 MacBook now gets faster with faster CPU, frontside bus and new graphics. Still not a threat to netbooks. I wonder how that Sony lifestyle PC netbook will fare, and can you hackintosh it? ...
Posted 01/21/2009 at 11:39:04am
The article was commenting that Apple was going to do worse this year in sales because the netbooks would steal sales. That hasn't come to pass yet. I think that Apple will not lose as much as other m ...
Posted 01/21/2009 at 11:31:24am
Apple's products compete with boutique products. Netbooks are far from that. Forbes analysis is like saying that Gucci's loafer line is in trouble because of the popularity of Crocs. A netbook is not ...

So which of the CES gadgets that Norman licked tasted the best? ...
Posted 01/09/2009 at 08:02:58am
Leave it to Sony to take a simple idea and turn into something overpriced. This looks like a great $500 super small netbook, not $900. And the little IBM pointer mouse? Well, it does save space. The n ...

Grab the interns and hand them a calculator and a screwdriver, time to bake up an $800 AMD box and throw it in the ring with last month's Intel $800 box. Equalize on case, HDD and RAM and we'll see if ...

Take those parts, stick them in an uninspired aluminum box, and say hello to the Mac Mini they've been whispering about. Other than that, meh. Throw it up against the $800 PC. ...

Meh, the podcast is right, HTPCs are nowhere until they get the CableCard worked out. Any rumors of this coming at CES? ...
Posted 12/19/2008 at 02:01:10pm
Seriously, an Athlon x2? Not even a Phenom? Not even in the ballpark! Add $100 to get a top Phenom X4 and you are at $650, which is still a good price. Athlons are dirt cheap but they are just out of ...
Posted 12/18/2008 at 09:24:18am
Its all about balancing the price v performance. spending over $500 for core i7 cpu/mobo throws the balance off because you skimp on storage and memory. And a $45 case/psu combo? Scares me. 80GB HDD, ...
Posted 12/10/2008 at 03:03:25pm
How heavy an OS would be needed for cloud computing? Google OS will be sold on Netbooks and have google apps built in. No challenge to Microsoft in the office, but students and consumers will like it. ...

SOmebody has to open up that can of worms and pwn it. Didn't Sony say they were going to release the one to unite all cable cards last year? ...
Posted 12/03/2008 at 09:22:40am
No tuner. I'd like to see Netgear or ANYONE cut through the crap with CableCard. That is the missing piece to this puzzle. How long has it been> 2 years since they developed CableCard adapters for ...
