ECS spills more beans about 'super 3G' Eee PC rival
Remember the G10IL HSDPA and HSUPA sub-notebook Taiwanese manufacturer ECS cautiously showed at Mobile World Congress last month? Register Hardware snapped the "pre-commercial" machine, seeing it as a sexy alternative to Asus' elfin Eee PC.
ECS G10IL ECS' G10IL: 'super 3G' sub-notebook
Now ECS has come out with details of the …
Since the pricing and screen resolution isn't known, it's a bit early to call it an Eee competitor.
It's also the size of a normal "small and light" laptop.
The new Thinkpad X300 (for instance) is about the same size, has solid state storage, a proper high-res screen, more CPU grunt, and is black, as in helicopters.
I'm also amazed that any Eee competitor would be launched without the obligatory beach babe. It's genre-defining FFS.
..... it has a gratuitous half-clothed female on the advertisement photograph. FFS surely we've all by now outgrown the more traditional bloke or fully-clad girl-in-a-suit professional adverts, all very PC. Its 2008, time to get down and dirty. I want babes draped over my future PCs, like you have in a motor show.
Back to the actual IT - I find it very hard to get excited about equipment that I cannot actually walk into a shop and buy. I'm not at all interested in what rival equipment does not yet exist - it simply is not rival until it does!
Paris - wondering why more girls don't take their clothes off for the camera.
