Fujitsu’s Amilo Mini just had to be different. None of those cute modern curves and snuggly roundrects here: this is the mini-laptop that stormtrooper adjutants stride around with on the Death Star.
It so turns out that this attractively oldschool model will be a stiff $600, double that of of popular models from Asus and Dell’s forthcoming entry in the field. What do you get for the extra dough? A 1.6 GHz Atom 320 CPU, 80GB hard drive, a webcam, 1GB of RAM, Windows XP, Bluetooth and WiFi. Weighing in at 2.2 pounds, expect it to lose the swish black ‘n’ white paint job by the time it hits western shelves, if Fujitsu’s policy of reserving its pretty designs for Japan continues.

Everyone knows that Darth Vader uses a Kaypro 2000.
Say hello to the newest fat, ugly bezel. And the newest tiny screen.
FAAAAAAaaaaAAAIL
For how longer will I have to wait for somebody actually wanting my money?
Dammit! 1024×600. I’m not buying one of these devices until they can put in a screen at least as nice as the one on my five year old Vaio U101.
#2 How much was your Vaio? How many inchs was the screen?
Cramming much more than 1024 x 600 into a 8.9″ screen is expensive. The whole point of these things is to be cheap, light and small.
i rather like the brualist stylings on this minibeast
You are quite wrong. THIS is Darth Vader’s laptop: http://www.cheaplaptops.org.uk/wp-content/laptopimg/2007/05/qosmio-g30-204.jpg
I have always been a fan of Lord Vader’s design work. So has my sister-in-law. Her kitchen with its dark gray and black appliances just screams 1988. And I saw his yacht in Cannes last summer:
