| Im at 38,000 feet, in seat 20B on a Delta flight from San Francisco to New York City. I’m next to a large man in a pink shirt and tortoiseshell Ray-Ban glasses, who could barely wait until 10,000 feet to reach underneath his seat and pull out his laptop. An HP laptop, black, I cant tell what model. Clunky, fat, clearly past its prime. He pulls out a mouse next to it, and after about five minutes of wrangling finally finds space for everything on his tray table. |
| Next to him, I reach into my bag, slide the Acer Aspire S7 out of its beige felt case, and get to work. | | The S7 is straight-up made for airplanes. Its incredibly thin and light, with a hinge that opens to any angle you want and a screen that looks great from even the oddest seatback-induced angle. And with this, the $1,449 laptops second revision, it claims enough battery life for a cross-country flight and more. | | Which is a good thing, because all the outlets in my row are broken. Best of luck, Richard (I think his name was Richard). I have work to do. |
