It would make much more sense to just have Linux, solar panels in the lid, a 10" screen and a disk burner.

Perhaps if they all came with the solar panels. I am thinking of running cost and convienience, not fashionable 'green'.

Hey, I agree, but I don't see it happening just yet.
I also agree about Linux as those who know me know I think it's the most sensible option on most levels, especially on low resourse puters.
I feel that the flexibility of Linux will be it's success in the long run as it is already being used by Asus for their "Quick Boot" without booting system of accessing browsing, email and media. As these appications are the most used, why would the "rest" of a computer be needed, for most of the time, for most of the people.
As a vehicle for the "masses", to service the basic needs, Linux as a "Slim Client" is all that is needed.

Cheers

Average User Rating 6

As one of Australia's few locally designed netbooks, the Kogan Agora lives up to some lofty netbook ideals, but it’s sadly ho-hum in too many aspects to be seen as a real netbook contender.
