12:05 am - UltraPortable Notebook Computers I finding it amusing that as soon as the last MacWorld Keynote passed with the announcement of the Macbook Air, both Dell and Fujitsu started filling my inbox with adverts about their ultraportable offerings. (I'm on their mailing lists.) Apple sets the tone as usual. Though I think the real benchmark in the industry is still the Asus Eee PC. The standard model is only $399 and it is plenty of computer for most people who need an ultraportable solution for light use and network access. This sort of appliance is what will drive the low end of the market. And it's exactly the sort of thing I'm looking for. I see this as a very bright and promising time in the ultraportable ultracompact PC market because so many other manufacturers are targetting the Eee PC and will need to embrace Linux to keep the price down. Competition will rise the solid state dynasty will truly begin. My dad was predicting this type of thing thirty years ago. And I am practically salivating at the possibilities of ultra compact low cost low-end PCs that are exactly what I'm looking for. Beautiful.

09:19 pm - Rethinking the MacBook... So I'm rethinking my plans for getting my next notebook computer. In theory the MacBook is an excellent choice and I believe the software environment is completely superior to the Windows route. But a disturbing litany of hardware issues has me spooked. Quite a shame because (in theory) those machines are extremely nice. Lately I'm looking into Fujitsu's little-known but very nice line of business notebooks... quite alluring I must say.
