Lenovo Product Engineer Ashton Kutcher 'Not Concerned' About Upcoming iPad Launch

[12vElectronics]

Lol wtf. Why is everyone trying to be Apple.

Lenovo, just do what you're good at.. making Laptops.

People don't want tablets, they want iPads.

Also in house labor

Some do. Some don't. I got the iPad 1 shortly after it came out. Great machine. My only regret was upgrading to 5.x because the additional features didn't outweigh the performance hit.

I still use the iPad 1 for email, browsing and a few apps. My main tablet is now a Lenovo Lynx. Great machine, too. The lack of Windows apps is a non-issue for me because as I learned from the iPad, most of my tablet time is spent with the email client and browser.

I like being able to have a screen split between two things, as well as have multiple browser tabs open simultaneously. I also like the Lynx's wide screen.

To each his/her own.

I cringe whenever I hear about anyone still using a first generation iPad. That thing is a big, fat antique.

Wow, they took a tablet and added an uncomfortable edge. Great!
And the "sub" in subwoofer probably stands for "below 500 Hz".

I'm not a huge fan of Kutcher as an actor, and his product ideas might end up being terrible but you know what, I will give him some credit. Unlike most of these celebrity endorsers who pretend to be involved in products, it seems he is actually really interested in the technology and participating in its development. Usually it's just "back a truck of cash up to my house and I'll slap my name on it, if you want to give me some corporate title that makes it look like I do something at the company, go ahead."

Who on earth does this guy think he is; Will.I.Am?!

This is a new APPLE product, not a Lenovo product!

It's the new MagicPad Maximum, now with built-in screen (so that it can double as a soft keyboard!)
That little ridge at the back is where the batteries go. I just hope that with this version (unlike the current keyboard and magicpad) the spring inside it is strong enough to press the batteries flat against the screwtop.

iPad Air

Here's hoping Apple can get the iPad Air 2 to be lighter than 400 grams.

Wow all these random poses of Ashton are......creepy

This POS will fail just like the MS surface.

 

[GeneralChang]

The prospect of a projector is an interesting one. I'd like to see how that pans out. But I think that having the projector built in could be limiting on the number of surfaces you can throw an image onto.

I'd like to see some thorough reviews is what I'm saying.

Meanwhile in Cupertino:

My dad still uses it. Mostly the Maps app which is easy to use and supports (Google) street view.

 

[McGiord]

The built in projector is a nice idea for business application, but seriously most companies in the us use Dell and HP and the lifecycle is 3-5 years to give another laptop, the tablets are very rarely seen.

What is the resolution of this projector?

 

[ellsworth]

I guess anybody can be an engineer these days.

Forget about 4 years of BS + 2 years of MS plus years and years of work experience. Just become a famous enough actor, and they will give you any title for free.

You said it... loud and clear. This proves that titles mean NOTHING. A person can have what-ever title they want but it doesn't mean they know what they're doing with it.

Well said.

Steve Jobs is probably doing the same thing as well.

And I am 'Not Concerned' About Upcoming Lenovo stuff Launch

Ripoff

Way to rip off Apple's iOS icons there bud. I can see the hacktor Ashton Kutcher knows how to take screenshots and use Photoshop...

 

[R3k]

Ughh, frontside that guy in the left in the pic. (Completely stealing the frame)

 

[Spinoxa]

So rather than merely imitating Apple they hired someone famous for imitating the founder of Apple to imitate someone who created an Apple-like imitation of an Apple device.

That's genius marketing right there

 

[Edsel]

My experiences with Lenovo products have been all but tragic. Terrible cheap pieces of Chinese rubbish, with a failure rate higher than my sex life. I'm not sure a paid-off actor can persuade me to jump ship.

I've had the opposite experience with Lenovo products. Lenovo has been far more reliable than the iMacs I've owned and installed.

 

[lowepg]

There's a reason they put "product engineer" in quotes.

They should probably put "actor" in quotes as well...

But hell, we can elect a "community organizer" as president and elect famous spouses as "senators".... why not...

 

[HenryDJP]

Well just when I thought I knew him. I guess I didn't. First, I thought he was an ACTOR. Then I thought he was an Apple fan and now I see he's a Lenovo Product Engineer? This can't be real.

 

[Edsel]

This POS will fail just like the MS surface.

The Surface is actually an exquisite piece of engineering. I like it better than the iPad. It's the MS operating system that makes the Surface suck.
