Default [TT] Rahul Sood Predicts End of the high-end gaming PC
Let's see what he said....
Quote:
After you have recovered a little from your New Year’s Celebration You might want to head over to Theo Valich’s Blog.

He has a very interesting read on the direction computer and peripheral companies are headed. He penned this as a sort of response to a Blog entry by Rahul Sood from Voodoo HP. Sood declaims (in his blog entry) that the high-end PC is dead while pitching Voodo’s upcoming Blackbird 003 which is a small and neat little device.

Read Theo’s article here.
