HP Envy 15 unboxing and hands-on {Engadget}
Nov 11th 2009 7:56AM The tremendous insecurity demonstrated by Apple fanboys is absolutely astounding. I cannot help but feel a bit apologetic for them as their only means of having any sort of social identity is through the possession and use of a more distinct-appearing machine in order to adopt the image manufactured for them by other minds. It is then no wonder Apple fanboys are always the first to sieze any opportunity that comes across to speak of their delusional self-proclaimed superiority with belittling words towards all others during even the most absurdly unrelated possible situations.
If simply by possessing such a product would associate me with such psychotic beings, then never again would I even consider its acquisition regardless of any potential usefulness that would have practically pertained to me (Apple notebooks in this particular case). For normal persons to be associated with such a group of individuals, a cold night spent nude swimming in an overflowing outhouse would be more appealing even if only by an extremely narrow margin. I would greatly advise the avoidance of both, however.
Dell Adamo XPS coming 'in time for the holidays' for $1799 (unboxing and hands-on video!) {Engadget}
Nov 5th 2009 9:28PM For that price, the HP Envy 13 is a better choice by FAR... although personally, I'd never spend that much on a laptop.
HP Pavilion dv3 with multitouch screen spotted in the wild, we go hands-on {Engadget}
Oct 28th 2009 2:51AM It looks like it works really well with the exception of when the guy was trying to rotate the photo Windows Photo Viewer. He needed to do at least a complete 90 degree turn gesture in order for it to rotate 90 degrees (no really?), but he wasn't doing that. Zooming and panning looked responsive. Maybe when trying to rotate, Microsoft could implement visual feedback to indicate how much you've rotated and snap back to the original orientation if you let go before rotating far enough.

Oct 28th 2009 12:40AM forgot to mention... other than the whole touch screen gimmick, the dv3t is an AWESOME laptop.

Oct 28th 2009 12:36AM Only practical use I can think of: while taking notes, there's a need to copy down a chart or graph that's done much quicker and easier using a touch screen than a touch pad or mouse.
Other than that, I'd say it's more of an easy sell to the consumer rather than providing much real-world benefit on traditional laptops, but students will appreciate it.

Oct 28th 2009 12:28AM Apple is good at they want to do, but for the latest generation technology you're going to have to wait until they feel like putting it in (if ever) and where they want to. Did it really have to take THAT long to include an SD card slot? Not even an option for a Blu-ray drive yet? No ExpressCard slots except on the 17-inch (and even then it's a 34 and not 54)? Why no HDMI port? Still using last generation's video chip? There may be external solutions and adapters to all these (except the video card) but it completely destroys the elegance of the Macbook that Apple was trying to achieve (especially with that damned mini DisplayPort) and can cost quite a bit extra. They make good stuff, but latest generation technology? There's a lot missing...
Apple's Magic Mouse: one button, multitouch gestures, Bluetooth, four-month battery life {Engadget}
Oct 20th 2009 8:40PM To me, multi-touch served as a way to make navigation easier when a mouse wasn't around. Bringing it to the mouse is a very backwards step in my eyes.
Not to mention, I don't even want to imagine the finger and hand cramps involved after using it.
