Another cheap-o laptop

BradC

This one is x86 compatible. After re-celling a few laptop packs over the years, I like the idea of standard batteries.

Life may be "too short", but it's the longest thing we ever do.

Interesting design. It appears that they devoted some careful thought to the design of the netbook, and didn't downgrade the intelligence of the user.

Looks interesting...

I'll need to inquire a bit about shipping costs, though.
(UPSing it may be a bit too expensive for my taste. Not even certain I can spare the cash right now.)

And yes, re-celling packs is a pain in the @$$...
(That's assuming you can even get it open without completely destroying the plastic)

The same company is also releasing a computer in a keyboard for $99

I thought it was interesting they're including a standard 9 pin serial port on this computer.

Strange, though, that it's not listed on their website...

That looks like a perfect case for a propeller based computer. Email about purchasing these
without the Gecko x86core board has been sent. (fingers crossed)
