its not avril fools....WTF????

So I should buy a 1000 dollar laptop? First off, I don't need a laptop, I hate them (too weak for games and too pricy for their performance pluss it costs an arm and a leg to upgrade) and I have a bitchin stationary for games and media and besides; as tempting as an awesome 17 inch screen sounds, I think I'll just watch the Blu-Ray movies on my 46" Bravia with surround sound instead...
Trying to even imply that a laptop is better for a cinematic experience is a whole new low imo.

Yeah, I read that article (which was the "lead" article on the Slim in Google News under the Sci/tech section) and I was all "where's this coming from, and where's it trying to go?"

You walk into a shop and go up to the counter and say "I'm looking at buying an iPod" Instead fo saying, do you want an iPod touch, or nano the sales person says to you "how about this home theatre system instead?" You're gonna walk right back out of that shop.
That was my first ever experience of Cnet. I guess it'll be my last if that's the quality of their journalism.

The only true connection between a PS3 and a gaming rigged laptop is that the laptop can install linux and the PS3 used to be able to install Linux. But you're gonna pay an extra $700 to be able to install Linux?

I looked at the system spec requirements for Mass Effect (PC) the other day and it basically said: if you try to play this in a laptop then do so at your own risk (i.e. it'll probably work, but might not play all that well). So even with a reasonably high spec'd laptop you run the risk of having a relatively low quality gaming experience. I'm learning the limitations of my laptop for gaming with Neverwinter Nights 2, and my laptop specs are above the minimum system specs required for it, though it's far from being anything like a gaming rigged laptop; and with no BRD it was $600 more than what I paid for my PS3 (at the old price).

..... First they say price is expensive.... Now it's down to $300.... They say spend $700 more on a laptop... I don't understand these people....

the article seemed fine.
you all just want to play victims, like usual.

I guess they want to mooch off of the news of the slim anyway they can.

Fair enough of an article, brought up "some" good points...

But since it is indeed from Cnet, there opinions mean well...

It's not avril fools because there's no such thing.

You see that train going by? The one with the joke on it? Yeah you just missed it.

wow, these comments over there are epic. SDF is very strong everywhere.
