Here’s one from the “Who the hell is their market?” department:
Xentex has a fold-out laptop computer. It starts out life as a 12-pound, normal laptop-sized bundle, but them folds out in four sections into a…ah…VastTop with a 20″ dual TFT screen.
Um…kinda cool and all, but where the hell would you use it? Not on a plane, train or in an automobile. It’s hard enough finding space for a regular desktop-replacement-sized laptop on the go, let alone, this big-boned boy. I also wonder about the dual screens, which they make a big about, like it’ll greatly boost your efficiency. To me, it smells like they tried to make something positive out of a design problem (how to deal with a bi-folding screen). C’mon, there can’t be a sustainable market for this thing, can there? Oh yeah, this baby’ll put ya back five Gs.
