Whitebooks: the Right Books?

摘要

Someone should write a book on the PC notebook market. In the history of computing, I wonder if there has ever been a market characterized by so few standards and so much customer confusion. If notebooks were single people looking for a date, even eHarmony and its in-depth compatibility test couldn't come to the rescue. About the only thing today's notebooks have in common: They run on battery power or electrical current. Everything else—battery packs, LCDs, keyboards and motherboards—comes in different shapes, sizes and configurations.
