Sharp Debuts New Transmeta-based Laptop
kpogoda writes "Transmeta's new Efficeon processor will debut today within a new trim and slim Sharp notebook. In case you don't remember, the processor family is known for its extremely low power consumption and blazingly high computing speeds."
Will it run Linux?!
*cough*Linus Torvalds*cough*
Be glad that it was only your legs ...
Somehow Transmeta will always have a warm place in my heart.
And Intel will always have a warm place in my lap.
Seriously, though.... The new IBM X40 is only 2.7 lbs with approximately the same battery life. The Transmeta only looks good until one realizes that it has a tiny 10" monitor.
Life is the leading cause of death in America.
I have a feeling the guy writing the summary was blazingly high.
Indeed. I'm am english scientist and I had to go to the doctor for burns on my jonathan-thomas.
Transmeta CPUs linger on in a kind of zombie state
I can just see the advertisment department going crazy with this. "When there's no more room in Hell, Transmeta will crawl the earth."
Just doesn't sound as good if it's not a Dead film.
It's known for that Torvalds kid that worked there
Exercise caution when modding this message up: the author acts like a jerk when his karma is excellent.
Tansmeta's do have their fans. But rather than being little devices that go round and round inside the case, these fans keep the air circulating by incessantly praising the processor in their new notebook to anyone who will listen.
And they're not silent at all!
