H/PCs R Us

The legendary American toy store chain Toys R Us is now selling the Windows CE 5 Lexibook, which has been discussed in these forums before. See this article in WindowsForDevices:

Half the RAM and one-fourth the NAND flash space of the RazorBook, at over twice the price. Even the writer of the article took a potshot at the sticker price. Cute shade of orange, though.

I wouldn't buy anything these days that didn't have built in wifi. But you have to admire Toy'R'Us...they charge twice as much, then put it on sale for 25% off, and everyone who is uninformed scoops them up like the deal of the century....

I like the orange!

Right - I can already see the TV ad: "25% off our already inflated prices."

I think that's the same shade of orange they use for jail jumpsuits here in California.

If you are in the U.S. the similarly specced Delstar is available in a K-mart deal for $119 today: http://www.liliputing.com/2009/11/kmart-to-offer-a-120-netbook-on-b...

You're a little late, ZSX:

'Course, that's just another incarnation of the RazorBook/CnMBook/etc. (It's CE 5.)
