Well, it seems better than 95% of netbooks anyways. So it's good I haven't pick up the one, not sure about price point for this "thing" though.

But IPS dispay on the other hand, mmmmmmm

:unsure:

Indeed. I typically snack on kittens while I use my iPhone.



No one in the world ever gets what they want, and that is beautiful.

no multitasking is a major downer.

Honestly, I don't think multitasking is right for the netbooks. I don't like tab-switching and the screen is just too small to have many windows opened at the same time. I'm absolutely sure you CAN listen a music on this device why serfing web or going through your papers, so what else I need to have another app running in background for?

 

What I don't like is that this thing is too heavy. My 6" ebook is only 200g without a cover, so I feel like almost 700g is certainly downgrade of sort.

Doesn't it say it has 3G in one of the images in the news post?



A game I'm developing with some friends:

It is largely a technical exercise but feedback is appreciated.

I heard that this thing is not quite a king of performance and lasts slightly more than two crappy hours. And it's screen is not IPS beauty, obviously. Still not enough? OK.

IT GOT A STYLUS!
