This guy probably makes portable consoles because you can't just go buy one off the shelf somewhere. Take a peek at Ebay or elsewhere and you'll find plenty of portable 286's.
I disagree with the line about searching for stuff on google turning up dirt. If you know how to format a search properly, and which words are key, nearly anything can be found on google.
OTOH, it is always nice to search technology getting better. There are some simple ideas which would aid searching, such as voluntary self classification of web sites into general categories (I'm sure this could easily be worked into one or of the emerging document stardards, if it hasn't been already). This would effectively divide the internet into a large number of overlapping sub-nets, as far as searching was concerned -- you could search everything, or just websites pertaining to 'games', etc... I think that a solution along these lines (although probably a better/more complex version) will be necessary before truly powerful searching becomes easily available.
I can't envision some complex algorithm and/or a team of people classifying stuff ever being a strong solution without the aid of enhanced standards for the web.

Ok sorry, someone else typo'd. The MDI aircar site specifically states in several places a range of "200-300km".
e.g. http://www.theaircar.com/models.html
Editor or poster added an extra 0... the anticipated range on the aircar is 200km (about 125 miles).
I believe that's called a LAPTOP.
