A suddenly fire, destroys the Heilongjiang Province Daqing Miss Zhao's new home changes beyond all recognition, in the family the electric appliance several nearly is annihilated, loses approximately 20 ten thousand Yuan. Same day, this notebook “ Master ” Hua Shuo after learned this news, sends out same funds immediately newly machine, lets Miss Zhao which suffers the economical heavy losses preparing sense be gratified.

Ouch. I think I just lost a few brain cells trying to read that translation. (and only halfway too before I gave up)

 

Yep.. that's an S200..... I've got one of those........ it's great that it held up......... but it's too bad I was apparently the only one outside of Asia that wanted one...... so it never was or will be officially imported.

.... that's just beautiful that it still works.... even if they put a new hard drive in..... the fact the motherboard still works just speaks volumes about the chassis.... and one thing that's important is this is one of the first models that was made out of carbon fiber --- about the same time as the M6 and S5.... there's no doubt that was the difference in the outcome...... pure plastic would had no barrier... and I've seen shots of burnt up old notebooks that just completely melted away.
