The first fashion notebook?

Email This Entry

Posted by Sandy

Some fun while we're waiting for ROKR and iPod news...

E-Go notebook looks a lot like the clamshell iBook
I must have been napping when this was introduced at CeBIT.
Behold Tulip E-Go - "the first lifestyle notebook."

Shortly after Apple released the original clamshell iBook, tech writer John Dvorak described it as a "girlie" computer with "a Barbiesque look."

The E-Go takes that notion to its logical conclusion: the notebook as fashion accessory.

It may be a shameless theft of the clamshell iBook design, but it's probably accurate to call it "the first lifestyle notebook with an AMD processor inside and zebra stripes outside" or "the first lifestyle notebook covered with diamonds and priced at 283,000 euros.."
