The stand-out of the lot is the company's new ViewBook Pro (pictured above), which packs a 13.3-inch display, low-power Core 2 Duo processor, and a fairly unique interchangeable optical drive / second battery into a slim aluminum enclosure. Rounding out the lot are the ViewBook 120, 130 and 140, which expectedly boast 12-inch, 13.3-inch and 14-inch screens, respectively, and some low-end to mid-range specs across the board (think Celeron or Core 2 Duo, 2GB of RAM, and a 250GB or 320GB hard drive). Still no word on a release over here, but it looks like the ViewBook Pro will set you back $999 or $1,099 depending on the configuration, with most of the rest running well under the $1,000 mark.

Hmmm. Looks... familiar. :rolleyes:
 
Still doesn't look anything like an Apple product.

Look - it has a sensible verbose array of video, audio and USB sockets. Apple don't do that anymore.
 
Why do no companies release machines which are all one colour any more?

I think this black/silver combo looks horrible. An all-silver or all-black design would be much more appealing.

I thought this was share-worthy more for the name of the product than for the physical appearances. I mean, you can't GET any more of a knockoff name than that.

What's next? Dellbook and Dellbook Pro?
