HP Unveils First Notebook with CFast Slot
HP has announced the HP EliteBook 8560w notebook, which has a built-in CFast memory card reader. According to Engadget, the HP EliteBook 8560w is the first laptop ever to feature a CFast slot. CFast memory cards - such as the ones announced by Pretec, Super Talent and Transcend - combine a fast SATA interface with the form factor of a Compact Flash card. Offering transfer speeds that are several times higher than that of a 600x CF card, CFast memory cards have the potential to become the storage media used by future generations of professional digital SLR cameras, although we are not aware of any current camera models supporting this medium at present.

Yeah, you got to wonder what HP was thinking when they decided to use the C-Fast slot. Did they really think that this model of their notebook will be still in use by the time the C-Fast cards make even a moderate percentage of memory cards on the market? Or was that a mindless attempt to just be the first on the market who offers a useless marketing trick?
I think, HP would do better if they spent the dollars on improving their quality and reliability instead.
