Gateway 15.6 LCD Windows 8 Core i5, 4GB RAM 500GB HDD La... - YouTube

So today, I read an article pertaining to this, and I watched it and found it a bit amusing. After 4:00, it gets a bit more interesting. Apparently a couple of Gateway laptops, 17 inch screens and without touch support, are being sold even before the General Availability of Windows 8. From their enthusiasm, Windows 8 could do well in the consumer space as they do make a decent argument for having a new Windows 8 PC.



What really tickled me was how the host's bean was freaked to having social networking integrated in the People Hub app and the simple and easy sharing abilities of 8. If she's that enthused by something like that, she should discover a Windows Phone! :D

I finished skimming through the video, some facts are factually incorrect. Like, Windows 7 isn't four years old, it's three unless a beta was out for retail. And I loved how they made 7 look like this dinosaur of technology. It really isn't, but after using Windows 8 for more than a year now, that actually sounds a bit right...
