Good comeback :thumbs:

646104 2008-03-07 07:51:00 Ok, if you don't mind spending your money on something that's effectively meaningless. If you don't mind not buying a nicer car, a big LCD screen... almost anything. SSD's are out, but there's no way I'd pay for one at the price they are at the moment. Whatever the simile. Thebananamonkey (7741)

As with any emerging technology the early adopters always pay the high price. Give it 6 months and the price to capacity ratio will start to improve markedly.

The SSD does allow for extreme slimness in the design as well as allowing the "instant on" effect and is not damaged by shakes and knocks like a regular HD.

I'm sure HD-DVD player owners will agree.

646108 2008-03-31 08:11:00 Is it just the EEEPC with XP? People have been running XP since they came out. I'm still waiting for the 9" and a bigger HDD. 9" looks set to have a touch screen and the macbookpro trackpad zoom thing too. Thebananamonkey (7741)

Judging by trends so far, we might get it before the US market does. The original EeePC was released here weeks before it was in the US. The EeePC with WinXP is not due to launch there till the 9th April, yet it is being sole in DSE stores here now.

The MBP track pad technology is patented (multi finger use patent) by Apple so unless Apple licenses it they will need to find some other way of doing it.
