The craft community may be talking about the Gypsy(TM) but the world is talking about the netbook and for a very good reason!
For the same price as a Gypsy(TM) , I bought a new netbook, installed Sure Cuts A Lot 2.0 software and love it! Honestly, I never thought it would be this great.
Now, I freely create "on the go" and do much more with my netbook than I could ever do with a Gypsy(TM) .
Surf the web, email friends, listen to music and even video chat while working on projects in SCAL!
Gypsy(TM)
Netbook
$249 + Cartridge$ = More $$$
$249 + "SCAL" = Wow!
Gypsy(TM) lets you preview all Cricut cartridge shapes BUT, like Cricut Design Studio(TM) , you must buy the cartridge to cut a shape from it. Apart from cartridge storage and design functionality, the Gypsy(TM) has no other uses.
Netbooks are light, quick and comfortable with a 10" display, keyboard and mouse pad. They feature wireless networking, a built-in camera and microphone, three USB ports, a camera card reader, stereo speakers, 4-9 hours battery life and plenty of hard drive space for all your shapes.
Because a netbook is a computer, it can run great programs like Sure Cuts A Lot 2.0 and others. Sure Cuts A Lot 2.0 is nice and snappy on a netbook. To help you learn more about netbooks, I have set-up a little store. This is a great way to see the features and compare different brands. Click here.
Watch this video of me with my Asus Eee PC and Sure Cuts A Lot 2.0. (At the time, my netbook and Gypsy(TM) were both $299. They are now about $249 - still equal in price but the netbooks are getting more powerful!)
