Hp, Asus, MSI, Lenovo, anyone who would care to listen!!

I want an AMD widescreen thinbook!! One whose touchpad is on the Right!! (they could make some for lefties too!) If someone makes this (cheap?), I am going to buy it!! Just make sure it runs King’s Bounty!

I don’t need a palmrest on my thinbook, whether on the go or on the table. While walking, I should be able the thumb through my thinbook while holding it (securely) with both hands!

When we first reviewed the laptop , it easily won Editors’ Choice honors in our multimedia

category. Its upgrade, the laptop, joins it at the top of the heap, with its own Editors’ Choice title.

It should no longer be considered as a laptop, it should be in the desktop-replacement category because of its size and weight, not unless you want to maintain your phisique, it may serve as dumb bell replacement.

Hope that battery under the hand rest is well-protected.

@andre & jhay – there’s an external battery pack as well but I don’t think you’d want to carry this thing in your backpack.

I don’t know why HP adds a secondary screen to this Firefly. After all, it’s a gaming machine, right? My eyes will be too busy focusing on game on the main screen that they won’t have a chance to see what’s on the secondary one.
yuga, I love your blog. Nice work, man.

No wonder the track pad is on the right hand side, it’s a gaming rig.

But yeah, how about its battery life?

It is odd. The secondary screen is not for me.

@jomark osabel: It belongs in the desktop replacement class of laptops so it’s not meant to be lugged around. You’d want to have this plugged in at all times because that kind of hardware demands a lot of power. The battery could just serve as a makeshift UPS in case there’s a power outage.

The small screen however doesn’t look very useful. Who would want to squint in a tiny screen below the huge one? But then my eyesight isn’t that good already. Lenovo’s DS in my opinion is a better implementation of this idea.

Disclaimer: I *heart* Lenovo’s notebooks.
