basically it's a small cheap notebook, and someone put a lotta mods on to it, to make it a small expensive notebook. I give the guy props, it's looks awesome!
I was lucky enough to get to play with one the other day. Wow. i love it! The only two things i don't like about them is that the keyboard is REALLY hard to type with, and the machine its self is kinda slow (programs lag, etc)
i was wondering when they were going to get away from the hard disk and go to flash memory. if it wasnt for the bloated windows software you could probably get by. i'm sure thats why they went with linux.
But there is a problem with that statement. Geeks (ie the intelligent ones) don't make up "most people." We are the minority that know what is crap (windoz), and what is gold (Linux)
