Acer plans new, low-cost laptop

| Everex’s CloudBook goes on sale at Wal-Mart starting this Friday (2/15/08),
| according to the company. It will cost the same as the Eee PC 4G, but it uses
| a standard 30GB disk drive in place of the smaller SSD. It runs the gOS
| operating system, which is based on the popular Ubuntu Linux distribution,
| and includes the usual open-source suspects (Mozilla Firefox, OpenOffice 2.3
| and GIMP, an image editing program).

HP's Linux sub-notebook spied on web

HP's new OmniBook?
,----[ Quote ]
| Of course, the Compaq 2133 will be 15 years better than the OmniBook, with
| USB support, Wi-Fi, built-in webcam and other goodies. Sadly, the OS probably
| won't execute in ROM and the mouse probably won't pop out. Sadder still is
| that the Compaq 2133 is rumored to come with either Windows Vista or Linux,
| not Windows XP. Windows Vista is only slightly better than the OmniBook's
| Windows 3.1. Hopefully HP will offer a good flavor of Linux.
