I see this as a healthy sign of the exuberant anything goes capitalism that is so crucial to the netbook space. If you're looking for a marketplace that is wildly innovative look for one that has players willing to take a flyer on something marginal, even some things that to calmer eyes look ill-considered. Would I buy this? Hell, no. Do I consider it a very promising bellweather for netbboks overall? Hell, yes. Sorry, folks.

I for one am willing to allow a netbook to range from low price to medium price depending on configuration. <br><br>But we don’t need the type of wackiness we see with Acers premiums computers or with Sony’s VAIO P, over $600 and you are drifting into something that is not a netbook even if it also isn’t a notebook either.

BMWs are serious cult cars and the enthusiast are willing to drop extra cash for the logo. Why wouldn't it make sense?

I guess they're trying to follow in the footsteps of Acer and Asus with their (marginally less misguided) but genuine supercar brandings. Sadly someone forgot to tell them what most of the world thinks about BMWs and their drivers – with sincere apologies to any there might be here rather than cutting up law-abiding motorists.

P.S. Ugly, indeed fugly.
