I turn gangsta to play with my Piano 101Let's take a look a Vantec's new laptop station: the Piano 101. Piano? I am a veteran pianist, but what do speakers, fans, and ports have to do with a classical instrument? Perhaps the great sound? I dunno. Ponder the qualifications yourselves and see what you come up with. Even if the Piano 101 has nothing to do with a box shaped instrument with a keyboard, Vantec is onto something here......

The Piano 101 also comes in four different colors: white, black, red, and blue. Personally I think the red and blue look a little silly.... obviously from the pictures the one I have is white, and I like it the best because it doesn't show any fingerprints.
