Vlad predicts hard-drive less laptops, Engadget confirms, film at 11! December 2, 2005
Posted by James Webster in : tech , add a commentWhilst discussing the Gigabyte i-RAM, my colleague Vlad suggested that we would soon see laptops without hard disk drives, instead using flash memory. I was skeptical that flash memory would get to the necessary price point to be a cost effective alternative to rotating wheels o’ magnetic steel, but whaddya know… Engadget reports that NEC will introduce such a laptop, albiet with only 3Gb of Flash ROM for storing apps and the OS.
But still, a great prediction by Vlad. I think in actuality Vlad has harnessed the 90% of the human brain that most of us leave dormant to SEE INTO THE FUTURE!
