eeeporn

Speaking of the eee PC, here’s a video that takes a good long look at an actual machine. The clip bears a disturbing resemblance to a porn video, with the pretty thing being carefully unwrapped, posed, poked and probed. I suspect this borrowed skin flick aesthetic might be common throughout the gadget-porn video genre.

Anyway, I found it very instructive. The keyboard does look worryingly small (I don’t think there’s a camera angle that makes the guy’s fingers look bigger…)

1) Wrong vid. I assume you meant to embed http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mLX2NEnVHgw

2) Disturbing resemblance to porn? Who does it disturb? And why?

3) It ain’t small. It’s tight.

Wasn’t the Sony Vaio as small as that 3 years ago?
Or am I not seeing the big picture?

Bo, the point isn’t the size, it’s the price point. The Sony Vaio is a luxury item, while the eee PC is trying to be commodity hardware: no hard drive, minimal resources, a free OS and free software, etc.

Have your say
