[Nocchidesu4]

Is that only in Japan? Is it in America?

[WeijingJayLin]

Windows is over?!

[imroy264]

@WeijingJayLin Oh I hope so.

ARM/Linux is finally killing Intel/Windows! :)

[edrianquintos]

can someone tell me if this is a good netbook? im a stundet so i have some questions

how about office? powerpoint? word?

pdf?

how about playing video?

how about downloading stuffs??

ocz i have an android phone. it has documetns to go but its not really good for writting word coz the format is different. and it wont let me download some stuffs.. so this bothers me.. i really like it's design so slim adn light.

[imroy264]

@edrianquintos I read in another review that it's possible to run Ubuntu (netbook edition?) on this device. That would allow you to run some more decent office type applications - if not OpenOffice/LibreOffice, then some more lighter-weight programs.

It should have no problem playing playing videos, although Flash is always a big problem.

[edrianquintos]

@imroy264 thanks.. but in the end i decided to buy an archos101 internet tablet.. same price but better.. i mean anroid is better with touch.. :)

[times9]

lol lame battery life,id get an ipad for the battery life

[feydrautha80]

@times9 you live under a bridge right?

[metalhead2550]

Edit from video: the Tegra 2 chip has a dual core ARM Cortex-A9 running at 1 GHz its not the GPU running at 1GHz, not even desktop GPU cores run at 1GHz because its better for both throughput and power if you decrease the clock frequency and increasing the number of cores. The word from Toshiba is that this will be released late September, they're presently still ironing out some issues. We've had one running here playing HD video for almost 8 hours on a single charge... It's pretty impressive

[farestabs]

Would this be fast with windows xp on it?

[szymongruszczynski]

@farestabs

it wont run Windows XP on it- it is not based on ibm-pc compatible processor (god thanx!)

[UbuntuLinuxKarmic]

I really think this should be worth 200 dollars USD. I mean, I know a netbook that has a 1 ghz processor (ARM) and runs Android and cost about 100 dollars...

[MultiCamo]

a runtime on battery of 8 hours isn't bad by itself, but in terms of a Netbook it's a bit low.

[BestM8ts12]

what about if you need windows live messnger or skype ?

[carla000ish]

@BestM8ts12 you know there is those version for Android. Right?

[Ernestotorres14]

@madjunir yeah

[SummerGameProject]

instant on? wait it doesn't even instantly turn on!

[CRAKIZGOOD]

@SummerGameProject

he said in the vid thats its not working yet

wait for the production model

im gona wait for asus or HP to start selling one

[SummerGameProject]

@CRAKIZGOOD

This model isn't that bad actually, compared to the other netbooks preloaded with Android OS, this one makes it stick out.

[sorin7486]

I wants one nowz

[sorin7486]

please please let me buy me one !!!!!!

[Ernestotorres14]

How are you going to use it if it dosent have a touch screen and it use a touch screen os

[madjunir]

@Ernestotorres14

yea i was thinking the same, installing ubuntu might be a better choice for a smartbook

android in tablets/smartphone is awesome tho

if it was a tablet/smartbook hybrid then android would be the better candidate

[jackfucker1]

this is plain stupid....this wont be ANY better than windows...who the fuck wud prefer this over that...stupid fucks...

[moneyman10k]

@jackfucker1 it is smaller and cheaper to compensate for the lost capability

[SummerGameProject]

@jackfucker1

If anyone is a stupid fuck it's obviously you and your filthy redneck whore of a mom. Learn to spell you dumb piece of shit.

Oh and, tell your mom I said thanks. ;)

[jackfucker1]

[LinuxGalore]

@jackfucker1 eer windows doesn't run on the arm architecture so your the one that is retarded for not checking first

[jackfucker1]

@LinuxGalore k...sure

[LoryLandskipper]

It looks delicious

[hermosotealonso]

SO?

[jackfucker1]

@hermosotealonso ...yeah, shuv it up ur ass XD

[4N0NYM0U557]

40k ¥ is around $400, which is amazing, considering this whoops the ass outta the ipad =]

[netbooked]

@4N0NYM0U557 Actually netbooks / laptops that go for 40k here sell for under $300 in the States, so it's even cheaper than that! I am expected a price of just under 50k yen though.

[manner4]

@netbooked Where i live it's 489 $

[ShynePoe33]

@4N0NYM0U557 how can a netbook kick the ass of a tablet? it's like comparing motorbikes and cars. i have the ipad and i'm considering getting a very light net/notebook but it won't be able to replace the ipad. the ipad can be replaced by a tablet like the notion adam.
