Are you familiar with the model, or the manufacturer?
Gimme some basis? Their LCD's?
I thought I had read that this device was going to be around $1100 base
(more for fancy optical drives), with a similar model with no swivel-
screen (and maybe no camera, but still touchscreen? I forget...) for
about $900. However, I cannot find this source, so I *don't* know.
I did dig up that this mobile chip ("Antaur") consume 8W/11W max;
which is less than the C3 it is based on. see

or Via's
http://www.via.com.tw/en/antaur/antaur.jsp
and
http://www.via.com.tw/en/viac3/c3.jsp
I had also read that Gentoo is good for Via chips, since they won't run
the i686 code very well ( = --maybe LFS... but I'd go Gentoo, I guess.
To summarize, I think the price-power-performance ratio of the
recent Via offerings will find me happier with some mobile computer...
in the next year, to be realistic.

Ben
