I’m just wondering here, but where is the dynamic shift in ergonomics and laptop design that we’ve been waiting for? Google just announced it’s Chrome-powered laptop, the cr-48 which is available for OS testing purposes only, and it looks like Batman’s ThinkPad from 1998. Seriously? Even if this is only a tester, where’s the tease? Where’s the sexy? Why aren’t any laptop makers redefining that flippin’ brick that’s off-center in weight, flimsy to open and close and awkward to plug peripherals in to?

ZV6000 Never Faster Special-Section
locate the second RAM bay – adding 1GB stick, now laptop won’t start – 28NOV07 – And finally, the RAM for the dv6000 HP Pavilion laptop arrives. Memory Ten invoices it as ABQ 1GB 200p PC2700 CL2.5 16c The price is a rather unforgiving $79.98 plus tax and $9.00 (!) shipping. Ouch. After all the stories and visits, I was terrified that I would join you all in another story of black screens, no boots, no nothing. I’m happy to extend a hand to you and say, DO THIS! Below is the 256 stick that I replaced with the new 1GB stick just thirty minutes ago.
