For those of you paying attention to the happenings at CES this year you will have noticed all the really, and I mean sweet hardware coming out for Windows users. From laptops err ultrabooks to tablets everything is sporting sweet lines of designs.
Alex Wilhelm over at The Next Web had a good observation about this.
Here’s the real kicker: they are coming from the same people who have sold us utter crud for so long. Dang. They just, I don’t know, tried harder all of a sudden. It’s as if the engeineering teams at the various PC OEMs woke up one morning, and actually drank coffee for a change. “You know Ted, instead of shipping another round of crap, why don’t we make something that people will actually want to use?” I’m annoyed by this. I’m frustrated that we’ve been underserved and charged full price for so long. At least the drought is mostly over. As Microsoft crows here, the current crop of these ‘Ultrabooks’ are sexy and capable and, for the most part, competitively priced.
As I said on Google+ – nicely said Alex, nicely said.
