Desktop Replacements and the 11 Pound Pencil
Marco Ramius writes "Tom's Hardware Guide has an article up entitled 'Unwieldy Laptops or Portable Desktops?' in which the author lugs an Alienware Area-51m desktop replacement to a 32 hour LAN to assess what advantages and disadvantages desktop replacements have over desktops themselves." They also have a related article entitled The Case of the 11 Pound Pencil where an office adopts a desktop replacement solution to unsatisfactory ends. Both interesting looks at appropriate uses for hefty hardware.
Oh, like this? Jesus, search Google before you say something stupid. That took me all of 2 seconds.
If you ever think you have a great idea, chances are someone else has thought of it first.
My blog. Good stuff (when I remember to update it). Read it.
the damn article is a perfect example of the fact that when people dont have anything good to write they will pick up an old issue and put some bling in it (alienware in this case) and put it in to fill the space. The article have no comparison table and the final conclusion that it comes up with is alread known by all the supposed "dumb idiots" who go out to buy a desktop replacements. I mean seriously who was the target audience? computer freaks like me who would like to have a desktop replacement for lan or people who like to buy laptops for style and in some cases to show off. what the hell writer thought that a person who will buy an alienware (and go to lan parties)does not know what he is doing. seriously if you dont have constructive to write then just dont put out stupid articles like that or Next time include some kind of comparison chart so atleast you can have some real reason towrite an article.
