This seems bigger than the average ad campaign for a mouse or keyboard release.

I think they are going to start building computers with high performance parts like when Alienware first started. What do you guys think?

Its probably the Switchblade? I think its pretty lame.

What is switch blade?

Also if this is just them building gaming computers then... who cares. We have more than enough makers struggling to survive as it is.

I'm hoping it's news that their motion control system will actually be useful.

How is it not useful now? It says it has compatibility with over 120 games out of the box... is that misleading?

It's the newest Sandy Bridge revision of the Atom, so for all we know now it could be pretty beasty for something so small. Another thing you must consider is it appears to be a little bigger than the original NDS, so it'll go pretty much anywhere with you. I would get one for the right price, but I'm still hoping this viral ad is for something more than just handheld PC gaming.

oh yeah, i read about that someplace.
this could take netbooks to a whole new level!

I guess it was a little bit of both 😛

Yeah, apparently its about 10 times more expensive that what you would call a netbook. :awe:

lol this may be the one thing that has even less of a chance of 'saving' pc gaming than an atom netbook...2800 bucks hahahahha

I have not seen the price officially announced yet though. I would prefer it go on sale around $2000, but there really isn't much in the market to compete with that kind of portability/ performance. It also has the LCD touchpad and LCD keys, which are bound to be expensivo to make. Maybe the second revision will have some direct competition from Alienware, ASUS, or Acer. Then we should see some forced price drops.

Excuse me? It's a 17-incher with a GT 555M...
