I am getting interested in a Libretto L1 or L2, which are becoming affordable. I realize they are considerably larger than my L100, and thus will be used for different things. In my case, if I got a L1/L2 I'd make it my work laptop, so it would be used for 2MB Excel models, light Word, Outlook w/ big attachments, and some applications using Citrix, typically via wireless LAN card. The L100 would stay my personal take-to-the-coffee-shop machine.
Can I ask for some info on these "later Librettos" . . .
1. General reactions to them?
2. Compare to other, similarly sized subnotes, e.g. Sony PictureBook Vaio C1? Or to the L3/L5 if that's the competition?
3. How powerful or not powerful is a 600MHz Crusoe, anyway? I'm not positive if the L1/L2 maxes at 256 or 384MB RAM.
4. Are they hard to do clean OS installs and run Win XP on? I'm trying to read through the L1 Yahoo Group board, and keep coming across lots of "can't boot from XYZ device" and "where's the BIOS" and "help I need ABC driver" messages.
5. Other sources of information? I haven't found nearly as much online information, discussion, or sellers of batteries etc for the L1/L2 as for the L50-L110 range.
