Comments on: Apple Netbook to be released in October http://www.geekwithlaptop.com/apple-netbook-to-be-released-in-october Almost two steps ahead of technology Thu, 16 Feb 2012 05:01:27 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Amir http://www.geekwithlaptop.com/apple-netbook-to-be-released-in-october/comment-page-1#comment-66069 Amir Fri, 04 Dec 2009 21:19:29 +0000 http://www.geekwithlaptop.com/?p=3750#comment-66069 Well, it looks like it's going to be something nice. A netbook-class tablet PC is long in coming and apple is deferantely a good choice to be the one to first design one. Although overpriced as usual, it looks like a machine a lot of people will enjoy using, and a machine that will benefit it's users. At 800 USD a tablet capable netbook might have been sexy enough for me to have gotten it instead of my present machine (although with the amount im typing, i guess it would have been a bad buy). Ofcourse, considering that we're talking about a computer, I don't think the closed garden approach is the optimal one here. A lot of potential users will need windows as a second OS on these machines just to run work programs that are just not built for snow leopard. If apple doesn't offer this one with a full OS, it doesn't actually have a product. Well, it looks like it’s going to be something nice.
