I work for Epson (in the printer manufacturing division) and I must admit that even I am not a big fan of some of the designers’ choices. There are some designs that I jusf find plain ugly or boring or both. Just like that netbook above. What the printers lack in design, though, they make up for in quality Not sure about netbooks though since I haven’t used one from Epson yet.

Anyway, the Endeavor line of laptops from Epson has been around for some time now, though they’re only released in Japan. Anyway, it’s a good thing to see more competition

That is actually what they all do, either China or Taiwan. Just like laptops except Netbooks really have no custom specs, theyre all the same, just the price is different. Find laptop manufacturer, buy unbranded laptop, put on brand and market. Voila. There really is little room to innovate so its all about marketing and price. Dont you wonder how suddenly everyone including unknowns released netbooks once Asus launched theirs?
