Tech Eye: Lap it up

This is the Flybook (if we were 'from the hood' we could make a witty pun about it being real fly but you don't find many hoods 60 miles north of Dublin, apart from the ones on a Massey Ferguson, so we won't) and it be real bling bling (sorry). The makers reckon it will put the office in your pocket, which is a horrible idea as far as we're concerned - what if the water cooler leaks? Regardless, it's a go anywhere do anything computer with the power of a PC and the portability of a mobile phone, it says here. It's got 512MB of RAM, and 40GB of hard disk loaded with Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition as standard. Also, its Transmeta Crusoe 1GHz processor can maintain a much lower temperature than an Intel or an AMD processors, meaning that the office in your pocket won't overheat next to your precious parts and make you sterile. The display is a 225mm (8.9in) screen that you can rotate and flip back on the keyboard, transforming it into a PC Tablet and is touch-sensitive, meaning you can prod it with a stylus pen or scribble on the screen and the little diamond will magically convert it into legible text. Plus it comes in lots of colors. Small things make us feel like real men, you can too. Get yours for around zł.7,000 from www.flybook.pl.
