What I find a lot more scary is this: http://www.engadget.com/photos/joojoo-unboxing/#2855956 http://www.engadget.com/photos/joojoo-unboxing/#2855956
Vents? Seriously? Does it have a fan? Is it going to be noisy? Just imagine all the crap that can fall in there, all the stuff that can get caught on it.
- wmf 17y agoThe JooJoo is Atom-based; it's basically a netbook. It's probably a lot higher-power than an ARM tablet.
- mbreese 17y agoI don't know about that... The current generation of ARM processors are pretty fast. And you can't beat their performance per watt, so an ARM tablet will get much better battery performance. So long as an ARM tablet can display video well (which will require a dedicated chip for either) does it matter how much faster the processor is? Especially when battery life is taken into consideration?
- pmjordan 17y agoI suspect wmf meant "uses more power", not "is more computationally powerful".
- kylemathews 17y agoUmmm... laptops have had vents on them for quite awhile now and we've all survived alright. If this is your subtle way of saying this isn't an iPad, we knew that already :)
- pmjordan 17y agoIf there are vents you need to keep unobstructed, this has implications for using it in bed, say. I once fried a laptop's graphics card by leaving it on a bed. Modern components should have heat-triggered shutdown mechanisms, but your average consumer is completely ignorant of such things and will think it's broken when it suddenly blacks out.
