Acer Plans A 16 lb. Notebook

Posted by timothy on from the good-exercise-at-least dept.

jagger writes "Well not exactly gigantic but at 16 pounds and sporting a 17-inch screen this thing is stretching the term portable. It also features a 3EGHz Pentium 4, 1GB of RAM, a 7200rpm 160gb hard disk, DVD-burner and the kitchen sink. ZDNet has a rundown of all of this beast's features." This sounds like a joke (or a typo), but the story says otherwise.

    Correction, Apple is never ahead of its time. They just steal and modify other peps ideas. That's why they'll never see more than 5% market share.

    Anyway, the worlds first color portable computer was the Commodore SX-64 in 1983.
