HTC Shift + ThinkPad X300 + MacBook Air = Perfect Notebook?

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on Friday March 21, 2008 @07:49AM from the pipe-dreams dept.

Tom's Hardware has an interesting look at the HTC Shift, the newest contender in the ultralight portable arena, with a strong compare and contrast to the other two heavyweights, the ThinkPad X300 and the Macbook Air. "As some of you know, I actually like the Macbook Air but found the Lenovo ThinkPad X300 to be a vastly more useful product in the class. I'm one of the few folks that have been using an early version of the HTC Shift , a smaller screened ultra light tablet with a keyboard and a touch screen which is superior to both offerings in some ways and just released on Amazon.com for $1500 (someone screwed up, this wasn't supposed to happen until next week). This got me thinking: The perfect next generation ultra-sexy notebook should be a blend of all three products."

Of all the choices, there is only one real choice. The Macbook Air. MacOS is the only operating system out today that is 100% secure from remote attacks, and if you enable FileVault, 100% secure from theft.

In the history of Macs, from 1984 forward, there has never been a single successful remote attack on the OS. No other operating system on the planet can state that as a medal of honor.
