its very genius of IBM to put a little hole acting as a drainage for me its still a feature why? because not all computer has it feature doesn’t need to be hi technology it’s an advantage the thing has over the other.

I bought a TravelPro Platinum suitcase a couple of years ago. There really aren’t a lot of a fancy features, on it but it is very well built and the things that you need are just there. For instance, there is an anti-tip feature and a hand hold on the bottom for when you have to pull it out of an overhead rack. These touches are so welcome when you are in a hurry and need a little extra lubrication to make your day slide along smoothly.

Trevor – Yep, with my first iBook the power cord frayed and I was so irritated when I had to buy another one. I was so pleased when they introduced the magnetized version.

Most of the folks in my current company have Mac laptops and there are no frayed cords, no tripping over power cables as you scoot through the conference room. Simple – but the whole point is that we shouldn’t have to think about the simple things!

Reminds me of the Mac power cord that connects only by a magnet to the computer. Simply detaches, no damage done, when the cord inevitably is encountered by a leg, a pet, etc. Brilliant.

If your product can include just a few of these “arrrrgh” killers, it will be loved.

I buy a car for the cupholder. I buy a truck for the benchseat.

I want lights in the wheelwells, so you can change a tire without a flashlight!

I want a video cam that can look around the perimeter of the car without getting out of the car. How many times do I get out to see if I’m close enough, but not over the red zone when I park? Endlessly.

I want the car computer to tell me, not my mechanic what’s wrong with my car.

I want to have a display of brake life. I get my brakes done quarterly around here. Too much mountain driving. Maybe it would convince me to say in flat land.

I want a GPS that knows my schedule, so I don’t have a headon while punching in my destination. Yeah, I know, pull over, but where? Saturday, I always go here. Tuesdays evenings, I a always go there. Every other Monday, I go here and there.
