Gary Krakow (the tough guy biker of MSNBC tech reviews — seriously, look at his picture) has a positive review up of two new “sub portable” laptops.

It’s straightforward enough about their specs and capabilities, but what really caught my attention was that the FlipStart has a dedicated button for CTRL-ALT-DEL.

I’m struggling trying to determine if this is a good thing (as it’s undoubtedly handier than making some weird claw shape to reboot your laptop), or just sad that even an ultra modern / new approach type systems like this is still hobbled by the same damn flaws and interface cruft as the previous generation of computers.

The new FlipStart can be used as a handheld ‘thumb’ computer — and as a laptop.
