Smartbooks Prepare to Compete in Mini-laptop Space
,----[ Quote ]
| Mini-laptops based on Arm chips are set to make their way to users, which
| could heat up the battle in a space dominated by netbooks with Intel's Atom
| chips.
|
| [...]
|
| Smartbooks are designed to have similar characteristics to netbooks,
| including compact keyboards and screens. The devices are designed as
| alternatives to netbooks, most of which are based on Intel's Atom chips and
| come with Microsoft's Windows OS. The first smartbooks will come with Linux,
| as Arm-based chips do not support Windows XP.

| According to a new report, the market for netbook computers grew 40 percent
| from the first to the second quarter of 2009, almost twice the rate of
| standard notebooks. Netbook shipments actually outstripped notebooks in Latin
| America and Greater China.

The Move to Linux - Netbook Remix
,----[ Quote ]
| All Linux installations should be this easy and this straight forward. Yes,
| Linux is an incredibly flexible and incredibly powerful operating system.
| This is one of its strengths. But if the OS is going to make a dent in the
| desktop market, especially the non-technical, end-user market, then the
| installation experience offered by the Ubuntu Netbook Remix is an experience
| that I would hold up as the gold standard. It has certainly been one of the
| easiest Linux installations I have done in quite some time.
