[Ubuntu-ch] Contents of Ubuntu-ch digest...

[Simon Schneebeli]

That's exactly the model I've bought last Saturday. I've not yet had 
time to really play with it. I've written some lines about it on 
http://littleubuntuuser.blogspot.com/ and I hope to soon find time to 
add some more.

In short, the experience is not 100% positive. There are a lot of things 
that work fine and out of the box. But:
- You still have to buy (and pay) Windows Vista
- Battery time is VERY short (only some 2 hours)
- Standby doesn't work out of the box (didn't yet find out how to make 
it wake up)
- It doesn't have a microphone or camera integrated
- External screen (well, I'm still searching here too, maybe it's a 
problem of the external screen)

Things I did not yet have time to test:
- Blueooth
- Modem
- Fingerprint reader

What I don't know: whether any of the special security features work 
under Linux (like motion sensor... Are they software or hardware based?).

Also I didn't test, whether it's really as robust (the case I mean), as 
it is said to be, I didn't dare to let it drop ;-)

Regards

Simon
