The perfect notebook
The perfect notebook should me made of metal… titanium or aluminum. Even though it is metal, it should be light, 2 kg max. And it has to be rounded so it is easier to carry around.
It should have a widescreen of 15′ and 1680 resolution. The design should be slick, only the necessary. An by that I mean: only the necessary. I think the Macs go over too much on this… Macs don’t have an Insert Key, neither do they have a backspace key.
Battery should last at least 3 hours. I mean 4 hours is great, but I can live with 3 hours.
I don’t care too much about it’s speakers, they need to produce good sound… I know that if I want to throw a party I’de use external speakers!
The harddisk should bee at least 7200 rpm and at least 250Gb. Don’t get me wrong here: I need speed! So at least 4Gb of RAM comes handy too.
The keyboard should lit in the dark (MacBooks Pro and Alienware do it!) and the mouse pad should suport gestures. Really guys, it really makes all the difference!
One thing I hate is when a notebook heats up. They always do and my hands get all sweat… I hate that. So please find a way to make notebook heat somewhere else, but not the keyboard!
A nice webcam would be nice. Say 3mp and gook Carl Zeiss lenses (dream on you fool).
I want to record DVDs, blue ray and everything else too.
I have when I buy an expensive notebook and nobody has put an universal card reader on it. Terrible!
Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, USB, Firewire are commodities.
Uhn, please be relevant: Apple what’s that “dock” on the left side of MBP ?
The perfect notebook should be my pal. This means we will work together and we will have fun together. As I am an workaholic I will want work in bed or maybe whatch movies. So it is useless when the screen(the top part) doesn’t open more that 120 degrees. AL LEAST 180! Ideal: 360!In this aspect, those Tablet PCs are nice!
Thouch screen should be fun, but not a must! he he he
Talking about screens, I must confess that I hate those new reflexive screens. They make me feel kinda dizzy. Rather have the old-style non-reflexive.
Last, but not least, it should cost no more that 2k dollars.
