I'm not attacking them in business terms, I'm attacking the hype surrounding this.

The hype promised something special, something revolutionary, a computer that everyone could afford, a Model T of the computing world. But none of that has come true.

Instead we've got a pretty standard mini-laptop which happens to be fashionable right now.
