However, the competition is not resting. HP is slated to release the the "Slate" very soon for $549, which runs Windows 7, supports Flash, and runs Skype. Not to mention Windows 7 excellent multitasking.<br /><br />I am a big fan of Apple, I have a Mac PowerBook at home, but I just recently bought a 4 processor Sony Viao running Windows 7 for work. At $1350 this top end PC easily outperforms the cheapest Mac laptops. Also, I have recently switched from I-Tunes to Rhapsody; instead of paying a $1 a song, I get all the music I want for $14.99 a month.<br /><br />The computer world is so fast moving, but once again it appears as if the commodity players have a distinct advantage.Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01722942630614416986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3523041.post-87220496692804904242010-04-06T20:54:54.254-04:002010-04-06T20:54:54.254-04:00wow, not so fast. it's not perfect but hey it ...wow, not so fast. it's not perfect but hey it does a real lot. add the logmein ignition app and you have your windows 7 desktop. add the hava app and you have your cable tv feed. add the nytimes xword puzzle app and you've got those too. it's a big blockbuster game changer imho...Tzvee Zahavyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15833902273722124103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3523041.post-53416700329257779222010-04-05T18:31:36.637-04:002010-04-05T18:31:36.637-04:00Not playing flash video makes it a dead ringer on ...Not playing flash video makes it a dead ringer on arrival. Also, it does not run Skype, so forget about talking to your overseas relatives. I am also told that it does not multitask. <br /><br />Call me crazy, but I think this a colossal product failures on par with OS/2, New Coke, and Vista. <br /><br />This may really be the Book of Jobs as far as Apple is concerned.Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01722942630614416986noreply@blogger.com
