Thanks everybody for your kind words. > … and it would be interesting what kind of system you use currently > and why (price, quality, better support, …). I was forced to replace the EeePC 901 for reasons beyond my control. I used the occasion for choosing something with slightly larger screen, *not* shipped with Microsoft software, light and with good battery life. I was pretty sure I can run Debian on any notebook (naive? maybe :). I ended up getting a Lenovo ThinkPad Edge NVY3JBM http://laptop-market.eu/product/67/lenovo-thinkpad-edge-nvy3jbm-black-11-inch.html All in all, it is not bad. Good sides: - all the special keys just work (in GNOME). The audio is also well supported without any hacks. - There is an HDMI video output, which also "just works". When you plug it into an external monitor, it is added on the side of the desktop (or copies the integrated screen image, depending on the gnome settings). Not so good sides: - the wireless chip requires non-free firmware (If I knew that before buying I would considered other models). - the advertised 6hr battery life is way too much. In my experience the standard battery can give about 2hr, maybe 2hr30min. Not bad piece of hardware, but If I have to choose again, I'd choose another. The good old 901s are currently about half of the price and oh, so light and good :) Cheers!
