Hardware just keeps getting cheaper and more powerful

  • 项目

Sometimes I feel sorry for those electrical engineering grads who are constantly racing to develop the next new thing.
But then I remember that I am a Microbiology/Molecular Biology double-degree who had to scratch and claw his way to decent grades against all the pre-meds, pre-comp. sci and pre-bioengineers. It took me 5 years, but I did get two pieces of paper for my wall.

Computer Geeks has the Averatec C3500 Tablet, which was new only last November (a short 6 months ago), for only $799 with Secret Savings Code "GEEKTABLET2" (exp 6/10/05). Wow! This is a decent, mid-range machine.

From $1399 MSRP to liquidation at $799. The market rolls on ever faster for hardware OEMs.

    Worst battery life Averatec? Close, but no dice. Forget not the NEC, where battery life was measured almost in seconds, the Japan-only PC-98NX improved things some, but not by much. The Averatec C3500 was a no-frills entry-level Tablet at start, and it won't age well, but the pricing is good.
