Re: Thoughts on the 560 "Kite"

Well it may irk you, but the compromises inherent in a notebook design
always exact a considerable penalty in performance. For example, the
2.5" disks are quite slow ...
However, I think that the penalty at 133MHz is relatively much less.
Perhaps it is the PCI bus that makes the real difference.
