Goes for BROKE!

Argh! Seriously?

This TOTALLY reminds me of a game on the old AMIGA computer called MechWarrior (if I recall correctly...) I spend tons of hours on that. Configing heavy mechs with medium lasers, heat sinks and twin arm mounted AC20! LOL

This has some serious "time suck" potential!

...and completing tonight's TOP TEN LIST is:

Number 10) George Bush!

Anybody else thinking The Six Million Dollar Man here?
Duncan from Dune?

Anyone?

I *just* bought the ZS7 two days ago. I really haven't put it through it's paces yet but I like it so far. No touch screen but at a glance a similar camera.

I agree. To me, a "Netbook" is a 10" computer to travel with. This is a Laptop.

What I really want is something with these specs but in a 10" unit. Something that I can travel with and lock in the hotel room safe easily. Some of these "safes" are barely bigger than an old school cash box and anything bigger than a 10" Netbook will not fit.

@NoOneSpecific

It is pretty though. You have a typical SONY power button, similar LED lights to my current Asus machine, a gorgeous screen, but the keyboard looks very Alienware.

Pretty piecemeal I hope it holds up.

The scariest part of this isn't the weight, although I'll need to hit the gym more than the LAN-party, is the PRICE!!

I played with the configuration and tricked out it's over $7500 Cdn. For that sort of coin a desktop would be far cheaper. I could maybe even hire some guy to lift it with the savings!

Still waiting for my PIPboy3000!

They'll be lucky to last 10 WEEKS! Google BlockBuster+Bankrupt and see all their woes.
