cant wait to see netbooks with this type of design running windows 7 and full touch..
i guess the nice part here is that windows 7 will have tools built in for these cellular modems, so it'll be simple to connect to a cellular network, just like connecting to a wifi network.
Why would you want that? This would imply the drive is clunky, not the fact that it currently holds the most storage. Should be: world's most spacious SSD (512GB) or something of the sort.
Well, you are half right. The form-factor for such devices is pretty much standardized, give or take a few millimetres, so all 512GB SSDs would be the same physical size. Of course we all know this which is why the wording seems funny.
By putting 512GB before SSD, the word "largest" is made to modify the "512GB SSD" as a whole, and as no units of measurement are given to prove otherwise, the reader has no choice but to assume that largest is referring to physical size.
placing the units after SSD, like this:
"world's largest SSD (512GB)"
Makes it clear that it is the largest in terms of capacity.
OK, yes I am bored right now in the office.
