No tbh m8.

What u got planned for it ?

 

[Toxcity]

Wow!

Very nice bit of kit.. but I don't like the power consumption, 3hours flatout?

Not enough!

But otherwise very very nice!

 

[llwyd]

Yep yep yep yep, will try and get two if possible lol

 

[Mr. Smith]

Battery is a killer!

I'd like one but it is just a toy that I don't need! $200 equates to ~£100. I'd rather put that towards a new graphics card or holiday... Basically something else.

They are so cool though

I am thinking of getting one too... just to satisfy my geekiness

I am looking to get one to drag around campus with me. I really like the little thing, and it looks to not be too slouchy on performance.

Edit: Looking at the article, looks like they are running KDE or at least using their icons. I got a good laugh out of his saying it looked like Windows XP lol. KDE seems like a weird choice though, I would have thought XFCE would have been a better choice in this case.

I really want one, but as most people I have no real use for it.

I guess around uni next year and that kind of thing. Cheap so it doesn't matter if I destroy it in a drunken rage.

Still it looks so nice

i wish the whole lid was filled by the screen, i dont like how it has a big boarder around it. Mind you, suppose it was done for cost and saving a tad battery life.

When I first looked I thought it was like a nintendo DS only with a keyboard

It looks pretty cool tho for the price.

The size of it looks quite good aswell.

Think I'll stick with a laptop for now tho

The screen seems really small aswell? there's a massive black border?

 

[Ham]

Ill be getting one. Wonder if you can overclock them...

 

[Ares210]

Ill be getting one as well. Perfect for bringing places to use for messenger and such. And i believe that black border at the speakers.

Aye, I plan to get one too, is exactly what I've looked for in a laptop. It's small and does only what I need it to do.
