Blog Archive That Sony “netbook” might not exactly be a netbook «

—

Based on the length and width ratio seen in the picture, this form factor is crying out to me as the clamshell resurrected. I suppose you could say all netbooks are "clamshell" to a point, but this reminds me of the old HP Jornada devices. See below. There’s mention of Windows on the label, but ...
