I just saw this article and I am just amazed at how factually incorrect it is.
http://www.13wham.com/news/local/story/It-s-Not-a-Laptop-It-s-a-Netbook/EUDhXSPaC0W9D8JLClXKmQ.cspx
There is a video of the tv report as well. Some highlights include:
“The netbooks are for viewing — not for doing.”
“They cannot play games and have no hard drive”
“They cannot do complex photo or document editing”I cannot believe this article is from an actual news station, it seems like an April fools joke or something.
It seems some people have it in for netbooks 🙁
I would actually have agreed to a small extent on a couple of the points earlier in the year but with more functional machines like the NC10 now available they are very much mistaken.
I have been typing up php code on the train to work, previewing it on a local Apache installation. I’ve played games, older ones work particularly well.
They can do photo editing but I wouldn’t recommend it! No reason why you couldnt tap out a Word doc though.
Netbooks aren’t for everyone – but for some of us they fit a perfect niche.
Presumtion is the mother of all F…… ups! And it seems to me that’s what most people do with these things; presume a lot and so get it all wrong. Actually that’s my view of news in general, I want to watch news rather than speculation lol
