Contrary to popular belief, you don’t have to be a socially inept shut-in if you want to use your computer at all hours of the day. Now you can be just as socially inept on the beach, thanks to this new gadget from a company called Clover.
The SunBook is the first netbook of its kind, using a Pixel Qi display instead of a traditional LCD. This prevents virtually all glare from direct sunlight. So not only can you use it outdoors, you can also leave your blinds open at home! Imagine that.
Well, that is, unless you have a TV in your home. The SunBook won’t help you with TV glare. Nevertheless, it’s a cool new piece of tech.
Unfortunately, as with all emerging technologies, this one has a cost premium. Even though it only has Windows 7 Starter Edition and an Intel Atom N450 1.66 GHz processor, it costs a cool $795. A comparable netbook without an LCD display would cost around $400. But being able to walk outside with your netbook is priceless. Just don’t whack anyone on the head while you’re strolling through the park.
