In my opinion, as an owner, the new U105 can not be compared to an OQO or something like that... The new libby is a full notebook with a small keyboard but it's even easy to type on it.. It has enough power, memory, battery, etc, to run anything .. I bought it after talking to some teachers from my postgraduate course.. Some of them own Vaios 10.8", others have Dell and other 12" laptops .. All of them use their notebooks while traveling and while at work .. When there are available mouse/keyboard/monitor, they connect the subnotebook and use it as a normal desktop.. One minute after, they can unplug the subnotebook and walk across the campus or work anywhere .. Libretto called my attention as it was cheaper than Vaios here in Brazil.. So, I decided to buy my second libby after using a 70CT for 3 years and the quality of the hardware and the availability of spare parts was another topic I considered .. I'm happy with my U105 but I have to say that after the hardware problem I had with my U105, I got a little digusted... I described the problems in this list a few months ago... I didn't manage to solve it yet... I'm using network through a usb-to-rj45 adapter.. :( I use basically linux on both libbys and they are almost fully suported.. Power management is ok in both, and hibernate too.. I also wrote a page with my U105 config... There we can see some statistics on its views .. The page is a little bit outdated, but still useful... (I need some time to update it and to write a page for my 70CT..) The page is here... http://www.inf.ufrgs.br/~jaatavaresf/Libretto_U100/ JA Tavares
