99$ Win CE laptop

Post by James Constance »

How's this for a new mobile chess machine? (Power users please ignore!)

For a netbook, using Win CE seems to make more sense than XP, as it is a lot less demanding on resources but can handle web browsing, viewing media etc. And with pocket grandmaster etc you'd have a grandmaster strength opponent (presumably if this form became popular, software would be developed and modified for the screen size).
