Mobile Computers should not come loaded with bloatware

Good news Sony is offering a program called “Fresh Start” that excludes bloatware, not only that but they are now offering this for free.

Mobile Computers should use break-out cables

Most mobile computers don’t have enough space to house or implement full-size versions of all the latest and greatest connectors. I’m talking about, instead of putting ports directly on the computer, having a dongle that includes HDMI 1.3, eSATA, USB 3.0, FireWire 3200, SAS. Okay I’m joking those standards are too new but eventually you know they’ll have them.

A problem most mobile computers have is that they get stiffed with the mini-FireWire, mini-DVI, mini-HDMI, and whatever else they can make a stupid mini version of. What sucks even worse is that these mini versions often skimp on the specifications, like they don’t carry enough power or just aren’t powered at all.

One last thing, the ports on mobile computers are usually too close too each other in the first place. So in other words, a break-out cable wouldn’t have any problems with fixed inputs being too close together.



Mobile Computers should all have Splashtop (or something similar)

For those who don’t know Splashtop is a really cool instant-on Linux operating system for doing basic stuff like getting on the internet, using a word processor, or instant-messenging. If Microsoft cared about their market they’d already be offering you this but apparently the management there sucks. Someone please replace Steve Ballmer before it’s too late! I LOVE THIS COMPANY! YEEEEESSSSS! ... now to off to get my larynx fixed



Mobile Computers should have a reset button like other mobile devices

I’m talking about a manual hard-reset option, not some kind of software-based feature. This would be mainly for when bad things happen to the BIOS.

(For all I know my computer may already have this. Don’t be surprised if I delete this idea.)
