Mid-year mini-laptops under scrutiny
,----[ Quote ]
| A new breed of extremely small and light (just under one lkilo) laptop has
| emerged just in time for winter travel. Called mobile Internet devices
| (MIDs), and also known as mini-laptops, mini-notebooks, or mini-notes, these
| lightweight laptops are practically naked, stripped of all extraneous
| features. And starting at around US$400, they're far cheaper than other
| mobile PCs.

Off Topic: I got an Asus EEE 701
,----[ Quote ]
| To cut a long story short, I found a nice opportunity to get a second-hand
| EEE 701 and I am having great fun installing and using it. I went for the
| Debian derivative and installed most of the system I tested on my (reduced
| screen) laptop: XFCE4, Gimp, Ristretto, Abiword, Gnumeric, Conky etc. I
| picked the Clearlooks Compact GTK theme, Prelude 4 for xfwm4. I installed
| Brightside (active screen corners) as well as the Hide Menu and Page Zoom
| Firefox extentions.
