What a camera angle, I was about to fell off my bed trying to figure POV.It's really weird to type on a netbook when you are a power user, but you will get used to it. Eventually.
 
it's not for me. it's for my dad! i cannot seriously use a netbook for more than a couple of minutes. :)
 
Hey! You didn't tell us your dad's comment on this new purchase. He liked it or not?
 
hehe. he probably has no opinion about the device itself. he is still trying to figure out the keyboard and the trackpad and the icons and the browser tabs and all that shit.
 
windows is also whole lot less usable on a 10 inch display. i have not tested this laptop with windows. i don't plan to. N150 came with Windows starters edition and is rated to give lower battery life. i think the battery life they are talking about is with FreeDOS and not Windows.
 
Just laziness, all manufacturers bundling freedos could easily bundle some linux distribution instead. They could even customize it to suit their netbook.On a different note, hadn't intel also developed an os for netbooks only? What happened to it?
 
meego is their OS for the netbooks. not ready for prime time. though i think we are pretty close to seeing meego powered netbooks going on sale in the market.

and...

selling netbooks with freedos is actually beneficial for the companies. these laptops are purchased by people who have spare windows license or do not want to pay microsoft tax.

some of us buy these to run linux on them.

i could have install meego on it i guess. but unity made more sense. i was actually hoping to run chrome os on it. there are some third party builds available. but with no support, it made little sense as well.

----------

and i think i have already mentioned that samsung bundled this netbook with windows software!

there was a partition with some software. and i got some CDs too (norton trial version etc).

i found it sort of conflicting. you are literally asking the user to install windows on it.
