What a mix up
 
Pictures cannot prepare you for just how huge and heavy this machine is. You better not be placing it on your lap either.

When you need a PC, will you buy a laptop or a desktop? The decision is normally based on whether you need to work while on the move. But what if you need something the size of a desktop, but want to continually move it from place A to B without wanting to use it in transit? Such users now have an option in the form of LG's S900. It's meant for people who like the all-in-one design of a laptop, and want to carry it from room to room inside a home or office. Of course, if you get a large enough bag you can carry it around, but don't expect to use it along the way as you would with a regular laptop. According to LG, it has only a UPS battery. What this means is that the tiny little battery is enough to only give you about

15 minutes of backup-enough to save your work and shut down Windows in case of a power outage.As far as specifications go, the machine we got came with a dual core Pentium processor running at 1.6 GHz, 1 GB RAM and a 250 GB hard drive. With PC Mark 2005, the machine scored 2124 which is acceptable. But with 3D mark 2006 it only managed 255 3D marks. This clearly indicates only the most basic applications like Web, email and movies. As a plus, it does have WiFi, Bluetooth and a webcam built in. The full-size keyboard with separate number keypad and the large screen is quite comfortable for desktop usage. While I laud the concept behind a portable desktop, I don't understand why it should be priced at Rs 65,000. It has a 3.5-inch desktop-size hard drive which is cheaper, no dedicated graphics card, it doesn't have a full high-def display and it doesn't have any one stand-out feature that could justify the price. You could get yourself a much more powerful desktop with a quad-core processor, high-end graphics, 500 GB hard drive, 2 GB RAM and high-def 19-inch LCD for the same price. Or you could also get yourself the Dell Inspiron 1720 laptop (C2D 2.0GHz, 2 GB, 250GB HDD, Vista Premium, Nvidia 8600M GT graphics, 17-inch screen, 2 MP camera, DVD-RW) for the same price. Buy it only for the novelty value of having an oversized laptop.
