VPR Matrix 200A5 Reviewed

Posted by michael on from the pretty-but-lacking dept.

An anonymous reader writes "The hard to find VPR Matrix 200A5 laptop has been reviewed. Never heard of it? It's a laptop that's designed by F.A. Porsche and sold exclusively by...Best Buy! It seems there is starting to be a rather large following of the VPR line of laptops, but that they are getting tougher to find at Best Buy (not sure if they are discontinuing or if they are selling out stock before releasing a new version.)"

    "Never heard of it? It's a laptop that's designed by F.A. Porsche (the guys who designed the 911 and some Samsung LCD monitors)"

    I'd prefer a laptop designed by the guys who did the Firebird. They could put a red light ping-pong'ing back and forth and going 'whoosh whoosh...'. That'd be much cooler than this Ferrari laptop that probably can't even Turbo Boost.

  4. Market Cross-Over by fobbman · · Score: 4, Funny

    As the market for the Porsche 911 is filled with short, pudgy, balding men, it seemed only natural that the designers of the 911 also produce a product that caters to the short, pudgy, balding men of the IT market.
