AndrewOW Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 I could easily see Microsoft, in all its wisdom, thinking Apple were serious about this and bring out a crappy brown coloured version, which wouldn't work properly, in about 5 years time.

Alex Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Is it April the 1st already?? FWIW, I could understand a giant touchpad with stencilled keys or the system which uses a laser to "create" a keyboard... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaveriK Posted January 7, 2009 Author Share Posted January 7, 2009 One of the "techs" in my office thought it was for real, he really is special and no, i dont know why he has a job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWIW, I could understand a giant touchpad with stencilled keys or the system which uses a laser to "create" a keyboard... Or maybe instead have a Bluetooth type earpiece/mic using accurate voice recognition to get rid of the keyboard altogether, and just the trackpad for clicking dragging etc. Some things, like punctuation, capital letters etc., would have to be given a code or something, but it should be possible, possiblly IMO. How much time would you save if you didn't have to type, and just spoke what you wanted to 'type'? I know I would like that option! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soop Dogg Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 I like the battery that can run the laptop for a full 19 minutes. Also the comment about it being virtually unbreakable "unless dropped or hit"! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being a mod, and the power bestowed in them, has responsibilities, as some people may take your very word for things you say. Strangely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
