Blurring the Line Between Laptops and Desktops
bart_scriv writes "BusinessWeek looks at the latest offerings in ultra-portable PCs, offering up some specs and pictures. Some of the highlinghts: removeable 19-20 inch LCD dispays, dual NVIDIA cards and customizable exteriors. On the downside, some of these machines weigh almost 20 pounds and all of them sport a pretty high price tag — they probably won't be replacing desktops or laptops anytime soon."
Can I run Visual Studio .NET and a full install of SQL Server 2005 on it with relatively large (20 gig or so) databases?
If not, it's absolutely useless to me, as shiney as it is, and regardless of how many games you play on it.
Why is everything a chance to evangelize or an opportunity for a sales pitch?
WHY DONT YOU MAC CLOWNS EVER SHUT THE FUCK UP? I've never seen a mac in use by anyone but trendy mcpopcollars and wannabe computer guys. Face facts, it doesnt run the software that I (or the majority of the world) need on a day to day basis.
It's really easy to "just work" when it has such limited usefulness, and it's easy to "not need drivers" when it's hardware specs are cast in stone on high Mt Jobs.
Fortunately for me, it's also just easy to install the drivers and software I need on a PC.
I don't need no instructions to know how to rock!!!!
