+Dear hardware makers,
+
+The netbook needs to make a comeback. The netbook was ahead of its time, but now we need it.
+
+
+
+If you make a small, powerful, lightweight, reasonable cheap laptop, you will, I believe, sell boatloads of them. I suspect hardware makers do not like to remember the net
+
+I freely admit to being eccentric when it comes to devices. Confronted with the latest bleeding edge, hot off the presses bit of hardware my first thought is usually: *how can run a terminal app on this thing?* Can I, in other words, reduce this ultramodern device, to something that wouldn't feel out place in 1974?

+Planetary Design appears to have run out of vowels, but that's okay because it's managed to turn out the best french press I've ever used. The Ovrlndr french press is solid, if a bit heavy, and, unlike every other French press I've ever used, it's super easy to clean. Unscrew the bottom of the Ovrlndr, dump the grounds in the compost, rinse and you're done. As with other Planetary Design presses, the Ovrlndr features the Brü-Stop filter system. It consists of an extra-fine screen and silicone ring that creates a tight seal against the side of the mug to prevent grounds from escaping into your coffee. I still also like our former Planetary Design pick, the [Double Shot 3.0 mug ($35)](https://www.amazon.com/Double-French-Press-Travel-Coffee/dp/B0796YM7L9/?tag=w050b-20){: rel=nofollow}, but prefer the larger capacity and easier cleaning of the Ovrlndr.

+is a mug and French press combination featuring the company's Brü-Stop filter system. It consists of an extra-fine screen and silicone ring that creates a tight seal against the side of the mug to prevent grounds from escaping into your coffee. It works very well, and since the grounds are still loose at the bottom, you get the easy clean up of a typical French press—rinse out the mug and you're done.
+
+The bottom of the Double Shot screws off and makes a great place to stash some extra grounds or anything else you want to enjoy along with your morning coffee. The mug is solid and well built, and the handle will clip to your backpack for easy carrying.
