Commodore UMMD 8010/F netbook announced

Comments

• #@$%#$% Pooer design.
  
  Do the engineers who design these things NEVER actually use a notebook.
  
  VGA port on one side and the RJ-45 LAN on the other.
  
  Just what every notebook user wants cables sticking out of the side and laying all over their paperwork.
  
  These ports belong on the BACK of the notebook, as well as half the usb ports.
  
  On the front, an easily accessible SD slot and a couple of USB on the either side for easy flash stick access. Posted by Mike Row, US
• And who on earth uses an analog VGA CRT anymore? For Pete's sake put a DVI or HDMI on there instead. Why do 100 companies all design EXACTLY the same piece of hardware, just in different colors? MBAs are tarded. Posted by John, US
• Who on earth uses RJ45 on laptop? And with these netbooks the battery takes almost all the space on the back of the notebook and there's no room for any connections... Posted by T, Swe
• I own multiple Amigas, even commodore PC-10, so i love the idea of a Commodore laptop, but why use such a wide mismatched changing standard (if you can call it that) like SDcards when you can just use a USB-SD adaptor ?
  I agree with the questionable side port locations as mentioned above,
  but either a VGA or DVI connector would be fine considering small adaptors
  exist for conversion both ways, and you probably wouldnt get this box for its stunning video capabilities,
  but RJ45 is still really valid, compared to 80211, its secure, and a real battery saver in some cases. plus you can get a usb-80211 if you really need... in terms of functionality tho, for commodore, this laptop is hardly revolutionary... itll barely play battlefield 1942..... Posted by 4l7, Aust
• "And who on earth uses an analog VGA CRT anymore" It's not for vga crt's but for projectors, most of them still have vga connector cables (at least the ~dozen I come in contact with in a year do). Posted by l3v1, HU
• My school never upgrades so VGA is the only way to hook up to the hardwired projectors in each room. As for putting ports in the back, the battery goes there in my Acer Aspire One so there is no room to fit it. On a regular notebook maybe.
  
  Also there are places where there is no wireless and my school provides ethernet ports for that. Posted by VerdaFolio, United States
• It has a built-in screen?! I thought it would just have a TV modulator in it. And what's this about a paper-clip being supplied as standard? :)

• I love still love my Sony G500 CRT.
  
  A good VGA output is a must. But DVI enables both: digital and analog out. Posted by peter, de
