Subnotebook

Once again I sigh: Apple invented the subnotebook, so why are they currently so behind in that area? Notebooks are their best selling Macs.
I want a Toshiba R500. If only it did not run, ugh, Windoze. But really, an 800 gram notebook? Kewl.

OK, here's a funny quote:
"As thin as 0.77”6, the Portégé® R500 notebook PC is the same height as a stack of dimes."
Geez, "...the same height as a stack of dimes"... ! Hell, so am I. A 6 foot 4 inches stack of dimes!

    Man, I knew you were rich, but I had no idea...

  3. And tall and handsome too.
    If I were modest like you, I'd be perfect.

    Though you still have no idea. Even if I stacked quarters, I'd still have money left over.

  4. I used to think "subnotebook" meant a notebook you use in dreams to write down memories from the awaken state.

  5. Funny this should come up. I'm desperately seeking a "subnotebook" for purchase.

    I want:

    1. full keyboard functionality (must attempt to type on it, before I buy). I am a touch-typist and do a lot of writing directly onto my computer.

    2. compatible with a "normal" or "average" operating system. For example, Windoze XP.

    3. internet browsing capacity. Gotta get my Eolake Blog! :)

    4. (obviously included above) e-mail functionality.

    That's it. Pretty basic.

  6. Take a look at a used 12-inch PowerBook.
