Wonderbird
7/10/2008 2:10:05 PM Picked up my $379 Everex gBook yesterday ... I did not really mind gOS but I loaded Ubuntu 8.04 on it the day I got it (and updated the xorg.conf file to force 1440x900 resolution) I love the 15.4 inch high resolution display. I ordered 2GB of DDR2 PC4200/533Mhz RAM for just under $50 which should be in soon ... The 667Mhz speed listed above is wrong ... I popped off most of the keys and repositioned them to take advantage of the DVORAK keyboard layout. To finally get a mass-market laptop without the Microsoft Tax that plays nice with Linux is great ... The $379 price I got it for was also a no brainer. The 1.5Ghz VIA processor runs cool and you can actually use it resting on your lap for extended periods ... Wireless configuration using both gOS and Ubuntu 8.04 was flawless ... (Downloading Ubuntu 8.04 iso and burning it using the built in optical drive and then reinstalling from it was one of the first things I did...) I strongly recommend this to anyone who wants a no-frills Linux based laptop. (Grab one before they are gone...) |
