Like every great story, the perfect portable computer must combine beauty with ...

15.07.11

Like Ponce de Leon seeking his fountain, Jason seeking his Golden Fleece or Indiana Jones seeking that bloody chalice, I've spent many years questing for an object that I'm not sure even exists: the perfect laptop computer.

I've tried tiny Japanese netbooks and monstrous, Canadian-designed powerhouses. I've tried PCs and Macs. I've dabbled in tablets of every variety. All have their strengths, but there's no single portable computer that meets all my needs.

It's an ongoing tale, a never-ending story if you will, and this installment could be called Beauty and the Beast. If it were possible to take the genetic code of two computers and splice them into one device, I'd get these two to have babies and my search would be over.
