In particular, the HCL 'MiLeap' Y Series:

"The HCL 'MiLeap' Y Series, powered by the latest Intel Ultra Mobile Platform and Microsoft's Vista Home Premium operating system, weighs just 960 gm. This ultra-portable Leaptop comes with a Swivel 7'' touch screen, 80GB HDD, wireless connectivity, Data Card option, blue tooth & Ethernet network port offering full PC functionality with true internet experience on the move.

The MiLeap Top Y-Series incorporates a unique navigational pad that offers multiple navigational features such as touch screen, thumboard, stylus, keyboard, mouse and one touch buttons, making it one of the most intuitive products. It also features a Swivel 7'' display cum note pad, making it a pleasure to input using a stylus and hand writing. The Microsoft Windows Vista Home premium powered MiLeap Y series is priced at Rs33,990

Designed using the latest Intel Ultra Mobile platform- Intel processor A110 & Intel 945GU express chipset- this energy efficient lower power silicon design consumes less power, reduces thermal impact and gives an extended battery life. Both products are fully RoHS compliant with low energy footprint design. "



To tell you the honest truth, I was praying Apple would release this exact design, where you have a really small, and hence ultra-mobile laptop (similar in size to the Asus EEEpc, otherwise being thinner doesnt make it any more portable), which had a touch sensitive screen that you could swivel around use the whole thing as a tablet PC.

This computer will I believe be shipped on the 26th of January, so it will be interesting to see if it will only be sold in India, or if it will find a good international market (which I bet it will).

because it seems all the fanboys are unable to comment on anything apart from what comes out of apple's ass :rolleyes:

I would like to hear what other people think of this design in comparison to the macbook air; that is, if it is possible for people on these forums to have an opinion about anything other than apple ;)

Thank God you don't work at Apple.

I'm not planning on buying an Air (at least not this version), but I wouldn't use that thing you posted if someone gave it to me for free.

I think most people here will agree it's a horrible looking product, but you'll just ignore that and say we're all fanboys. So since you don't actually want to hear what we think about it, why don't you move along?

[Raukodur]

Yes, it would have been so tragic for the macbook air to have had any sort of functionality as opposed to just being full of hot air :rolleyes:

Going purely on aesthetics here I have to say that is the worst looking thing I have seen in a long time. Why such a small screen? I would take the other offerings from Sony and Toshiba over that thing any day...

For me, it's too ugly, too small, and runs Vista.

And I second whoever said this thing is ugly.

bwhahahahaha. Hilarious. With those kinds of comedic skills, perhaps you should be on strike right now.

[Winglet]

I have to agree, it is not very appealing to look at and isn't even close to comparing to the MBA.

[ahaxton]

This looks like some sort of "My Baby's First Laptop" product lol.

[Sceneshifter]

that looks horrible even to a blind person.
