Porsche Designs a Laptop

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the now-thats-just-silly dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Cnet is reporting that BestBuy is selling a porsche designed widescreen ultra thin laptop the looks almost exactly like a Tibook. Sadly, it runs windows so no one will actually want to use one for real work, but it looks pretty cool for minesweeper. Ah, I guess that the TiBook is no longer a status symbol if you can run Windows on it. It has all the trimmings, like those "made for windows 2k stickers" that get the screen all nasty when you close it."

    but you don't have to make it that using Windows is the crime of the century.

    It isn't? ;)

    It doesn't matter if you were joking- obviously you were- it was a fucking retarded joke.

    Or, you could just turn the preview option OFF. Just because you aren't educated about how something works, doesn't mean it's a bad design.

    I think the design of the notebook is stylish (although the two tone thing is a bit off).

    For anyone who does real work I think it's a great looking machine, and I'll probably buy one myself.

    And yeah, I'm bucking the "waah, PowerBooks are better!" trend. I don't have 4 grand to spend on a 600 - 800MHz computer who's only lead in processing power / overall performance is photoshop filters.

    Increased stability? My Inspiron 8100 runs FreeBSD.

  6. Bush Admin killed Democrat Paul Wellstone! by teamhasnoi · · Score: 0, Flamebait
    Paul Wellstone (D-MN) was killed in a plane crash today. The Senate will most likely be led by Republicans, since this tragic incident will pave the way for Norm Coleman (R-MN). The US had been focusing on this particular Senate race, as control of the Senate hung in the balance.

    War, loss of civil liberties, and McCarthyism, thinly veiled as 'Patriotism' will likely be the result.

    Top leaders in the Bush Administration were seen to be wringing their hands, and grinning evilly.
