Poor Mans Netbook sees more potent successor, created a monster

Posted in: netbook, nettop, portable, Today's Chili

Do you know what the new hotness is? We’ll tell you — computers in suitcases. Big, brawny, rugged suitcases. After seeing the Poor Mans Netbook offered up to the least poor bidder on eBay, one Daniel Spalding has concocted a more powerful successor dubbed the Poor Mans Notebook. Within the near-bulletproof suitcase, he managed to shove an 8-inch touchscreen (1,024 x 768 resolution), 2.5GHz dual-core E5200 CPU, 4GB of DDR2 RAM, 64GB OCZ solid state drive, WiFi / Bluetooth 2.1+EDR modules and a GeForce 7100 graphics set. He won’t deny that it purrs like a vacuum cleaner when really taxed, but c’mon, it’s a computer in a suitcase — cut the thing some slack.
