Tailstrike - The 'guy' is an animation, you think that is cute? Personally I don't find any guys, real or animated, cute.

It is an advert for a laptop, I think the computer forum is as appropriate as anywhere on PPRune. Where would you have posted it?

Aye true enough.

Personal thoughts.

It looks as if its trying to take on the mac scene.

Drivers are going to be a bloody nightmare for it.

Don't know how well it will hold up to wear and tear.

Each to there own I think If I got given one it would be on ebay pretty quick.

Firstly, "whoosh".

Secondly, it's not an advert for a laptop, it's an advert for Orkin Design. The laptop itself will never exist.

(I see I may have touched a nerve as evidenced by your strong (too strong?) denials! )
Being the season of good will I'll let that pass tailstrike!

(Plenty of evidence out there to support my claim of being hetrosexual, I'm happy to say!)

I can see it would be difficult as far as CDs etc go but I'm guessing it would only operate with Flash/memory sticks, if indeed it ever operates.

Especially as programmers will have to write code that can survive being rolled into a tube.
Using Python perhaps.
