    8gb seems like way more than enough to me considering what devs pull off with current gen ram specs

    I'm guessing yall actually mean component...

    I think MS has its head up its own arse: that surface tablet its going to be $500

    You can buy a similarly-sized kindle with a better screen for $299, and it has more apps

    And BTW the $500 surface is the shitty RT one, and without the keyboard cover thing, thats an extra $100

    Seriously, WTF? now I understand all this stupid shit with the Durango

    Except the first world is broke, the only reason ipads sell its because its not tech but a luxury item no different from a BMW car or Armani clothes

    After all 99% of all apple sales comes from portable devices that can be flaunted in public, nobody buys mac desktops anymore

    If it was called the "PlayBook" I can see and understand why it bombed.

    No, the PlayBook was the Blackberry tablet. The words "Blackberry tablet" should explain why that failed.

    My friend bought one and its actually a great tab, webOS or whatever it runs stock has the best mobile browser I have ever seen, and it runs Android and Linux nicely also.

    Hmmm...

    I sold my iMac to someone who already had 7. He buys a new one for each employee he gets, and the new person he hired was part time.

    Too bad the hardware was absolutely dreadful, quality wise. Cracked plastic, things dying, not good.

    Original price or the totally bonkers $99 firesale? if the former then you can bet it was a great tab

    But at $500 it was born obsolete, they literally used rejected parts from the ipad factories to make them because HP was a cheapskate.

    And

    Dude, buying used doesn't exactly puts money into apple's pocket, you know why the mini still sells? because of all the people who needs a mac to make iOS apps, else nobody would bother

    After all its really overpriced, you can build a midend PC rig for the price of that repackaged netbook

    I remember that case, IIRC it was like $1000, without the actual hardware

    Unless its an imitation, there were a couple I think

    Legitimate case. Nice too. Damn quiet, good amount of room.

    *Bought it used for $300. All it was missing was the original box.
