This has absolutely nothing to do with Seattle-area real estate, but since I’m interested in geeky gadgets and I couldn’t find a similar table elsewhere online, I thought I’d put this up here. For the record, I don’t really have much interest in buying either of these devices at their current price points. Just for kicks I also tossed a netbook on there (which is the sort of thing I would buy).
