| The newest Teen computer on the market that no one should buy. What is the Hip-E? It is a TEEN computer (MSRP of $1700USD) that was based on the success of the iPod with teens. Not iMacs. iPods. Apparently, they're trying to appeal to teens by releasing a computer that is overpriced and has great specs for a laptop. Too bad it's not a laptop. Basically, you're paying for a desktop computer that has an ATI M11 video card (Equal to a 9600 Radeon, even though they say 9700), an 1.5 GHz processor, and 512MB of RAM. Too much money for too little. Want a picture? Here you go:  See those speakers on the monitor? They're an $80 add-on. Posted in General Chat so that more responses are generated. This is bad, folks. What if parents buy them thinking their childrem will like them when the computers won't even run Doom 3 at that price? (edited by Cymoro on 08-27-04 03:29 PM) |

| Meh. I'm not too concerned. I'd like to think that most people are smart enough to see what a bunch of crap it is. I'll give it six months, at the most. |

Originally posted by Shadic Why? You're overpaying just as much, except in your case it's for the Alienware name and "d00d!1! 1337 c453!11!" as opposed to here where you're overpaying for um...I dunno, there must be SOMETHING attempting to justify that price... |

Wow, that looks like if you were to bumb it, it would just calapse. Cymoro makes a good point for the money it is shitty. I would deffinitally buy a laptop for that much, but I already have one. Sooo yeah. Plus that is something that the teens wont use when they get older. Cymoro... Any specs on gigs? |

| I really hate to say it, but I really can see that taking off. There are many young girls out there discovering the social attraction to having a PC and MSN / AIM and soforth. When girls with rich dads want something like that, they get Next year it'll be the kiddie's BMW. Oh wait... I think the speakers are the most screwed up thing about it though  Rrrrrrip off |

| Eh, I think that could run Doom 3 at 640x480 with low graphic settings. If the video card's around a 9600. But still... Knock the price down by $500 and you have something. Still overpriced but at least there's a market. |

| Feels sorry for the kids who think if they have that they will become cool... like all the kids at my school that think since they have an I-Pod they are cool... When I buy a computer... I'm gonna buy a computer for what computers are meant to be used for... not as a item just to say look what I have it looks really cool but it takes an hour to load up notepad... |
