This makes it possible to create really cheap laptops that weighs nothing. <br /><br />I have yet to see smartbooks in shops but I suppose that is where Chrome OS is heading. Lets hope that Chrome OS leads to great ARM smartbooks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874245884747170496.post-64146285180586274012009-08-11T18:04:51.745-07:002009-08-11T18:04:51.745-07:00Agreed.

People believed they were buying PC, meaning PC with windows. My Asus EEE PC Linux (901) did not disappoint me. It works very well for me and my grandchildren. But I have done some minor changes which could be found on the web, but not at ASUS pages. Similarly Nokia N-800 and N-810 has not got as much use as it deserves (also Linux based). The marketing is basically nonexistant there.Ladislav Kocbachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00712881728555589075noreply@blogger.com
