An Updated R2H

Asus R2H
And now for the good news from Asus:  the R2H UMPC has been updated!  The new R2HV-A1 has a Pentium-M, 1280MB RAM, an 80 gig harddrive, and it now has Vista Home Premium installed.  The battery also looks larger as well.  Full details are at the Asus R2H page (scroll to the bottom).
The Asus R2H is still one of the most attractive UMPCs on the market, IMHO.  With the new upgrades, I may just have to cave and take one for a test drive.

The Pink, It Kills…

Filed Under (Miscellany) by Susy on 08-06-2007

Asus Pink LaptopOkay, I’ll admit that being a vegetarian means that I don’t exactly appreciate leather.  Still, I’m somewhat baffled by Asus’ new attempt to market to the female population.  A Target exclusive, the Asus S6 pink leather edition, has the specs of an average 12″ laptop.  But it’s pink and leather so therefore it’s marked up to $2199.99.  If I’m going to drop that much on a laptop, it’s going to be an ultraportable tablet that’s actually useful.  However, I’m not a typical consumer so I imagine this is selling like hotcakes.  And in related news, Target has an entire category devoted to pink electronics.  This is me rolling my eyes.
