2010 CES: Day 2

They deserve best of show for having a notebook sync browser pages? Or is it for the notebook having two parts?

I think the best laptop that's been shown thus far in CES has got to be the Alienware M11x. In such a small case it fits an NVidia GeForce 335M. I will most likely be getting a top specced one, at launch.

PT was right, this blog is such a cess pool of people who do nothing but read every single thing Paul ever writes just to shed it in his blog which he rarely even posts in himself, what the F is wrong with you people? I don't agree with him all the time either, but everything on here is Paul is an ass and OS X is god sent, this site is getting lame Posted from my home built hackintosh dual booting 7 and 10.4.11, yes tiger, I still use tiger.

"This CES proves yet again how uninteresting and irrelevant Microsoft has become. People love and get more excited about Google and Apple. Microsoft is the new IBM. Big and boring." Uh, Lenovo =/= Microsoft.

Well atleast Microsoft is releasing and annoucing stuff, as far as we know we will get a .5 or 1 Mhz speed bump in the ipod touches and iphones, and they will be hearled as the newest and greatest thing, the Machintoshes, will maybe get the GT 100 series of mobile graphics from Nvidia, and just to let you know the 9600 gsm and 9400 gsm are both the low end from nvidia just the 9600 gsm was the high end of the low end, gaming on a mac book is a lie. even gaming on a iMac is a lie the only machine that I think could possibly game is the Mac Pro, and those computers are meant for heavy work not games. Really Apple just lame.

"Like much of Vegas this week, the monorail has been a crowded disaster this week" Paul got his Journalism degree from the School of Redundancy School. "I've got three potential parties to visit this evening, so I'll be busy again in a bit." Never mind. That explains it.

"Blogs like this one claim that Microsoft is announcing a tablet before Apple, but Microsoft didn't even make the thing. Lame." Microsoft is doing the announcement about new PC form factors, specifically small slate machines running full desktop operating systems. The credit in hardware engineering to accomplish such a task needs to be given to the OEM's, but the showcase feature (the OS) is owned by Microsoft. All in all, Microsoft had a hand in making an operating that would run well on such a form factor machine (with the hardware restrictions of such a form factor). Some credit to them is justified as well. The idea is that software and hardware is now at a level where this is possible, and Microsoft contributes a lot to partners that will develop for their platform, so it was a good choice for them to feature the form factor, if only to reintroduce it to the world. The fact that they chose the HP one to do the demo with is probably one based on unit sales of Windows, and you know already that HP leads the rest of the pack, making them the best business partner for Microsoft. " even gaming on a iMac is a lie the only machine that I think could possibly game is the Mac Pro, and those computers are meant for heavy work not games." I would add that "heavy work" is a lie on a Mac Pro, because they only include options for consumer-level gaming cards now. There are no ATI FireGL or NVIDIA Quadro cards available as purchase options on the Mac Pro anymore, making it a joke among the workstation crowd. BTW: Grannyville, did you find the speed of your iMac GPU yet? I left a PM for you on how to find out what it is. Check your inbox with the link at the top of this page. I gotten nothing but silence from the rest of the group of Mac fanbois on this issue either.

to me a tablet would be desirable to play movies and music, just like I do with my aspire one, I would love to rip the keyboard off my netbook,

Lenovo Tablets are still some of the best. My daughters doctors office uses them and of course I asked them what they thought of them. They said they couldn't imagine not having them. The old X-60 style is still rock solid and more useful than anything Apple ever did. I can edit Word and Excel docs on my old iPaq which is still more useful than anything I can do on a iPhone.

No tablet at ACER site yet. Maybe they will make a low cost one soon. Portable, IMO, should mean low cost as well as mobile and smaller, unless you want a desktop replacement. Otherwise, it should be able to handle any function that you may need on the road. It's a practical definition, but a high price may prevent many interested buyers.
